I'll be nice and help u with this one.  Dogs actually have clean  mouths when compared to other animals.  They harbor about the same bacteria as  the  human mouth.  Humans even have one dogs dont that can potentially cause a serious infection.  There are way too many to know them all but here are four. E.coli, Morexalla catterallis, klebseilla, and i am sure there is a stahpoloccus species or two there. I will have to get a book out for the spelling so it may have to be edited later. I know some of the spelling is wrong.

False. All creatures, from worms to humans, have specialized cells.

Humans are not the only ones. Primates do and yes dogs and cats do as well. Other sexually reproducing species go through oestrous cycle. Very similar to menstrual cycle, except it isn't always seasonal. Some rodents for example ovulate every 4-5 days; while others are induced ovulators meaning they only ovulate after sex. Both types have cyclical endocrine changes that lead to ovarian changes and ovulation. Interesting tidbit though is that humans are the rare ones...other species only have sex to procreate...humans have sex whether they can have kids or not (while they are pregnant or elderly, for example).

I thought this was an amazing article. It was just published a few days ago:\n\nWASHINGTON - Twenty-five years after the first AIDS cases emerged, scientists have confirmed that the HIV virus plaguing humans really did originate in wild chimpanzees, in a corner of Cameroon.\n\nSolving the mystery of HIV’s ancestry was dirty work. Scientists employed trackers to plunge through dense jungle and collect the fresh feces of wild apes — more than 1,300 samples in all.\n\nBefore that, it took seven years of research just to develop the testing methods to genetically trace the primate version of the virus in living wild chimps without hurting the endangered species.\n\nUntil now, “no one was able to look. No one had the tools,” said Dr. Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She led the team of international researchers that reported the success in Friday’s edition of the journal Science.\n\n“We’re 25 years into this pandemic,” Hahn said. “We don’t have a cure. We don’t have a vaccine. But we know where it came from. At least we can make a check mark on one of those.”\n\nScientists long have known that nonhuman primates carry their own version of the AIDS virus, called SIV or simian immunodeficiency virus. But with one exception, it had been found only in captive chimpanzees, particularly a subspecies that in the wild populates mostly West Africa.\n\nIt was not known how prevalent the virus was in chimps in the wild, or how genetically or geographically diverse it was, complicating efforts to pin down the jump from animal to man.\n\nHahn’s team tested chimp feces for SIV antibodies, finding them in a subspecies called Pan troglodytes troglodytes in southern Cameroon.\n\nChimps tend to form geographically distinct communities. By genetically analyzing the feces, researchers could trace individual infected chimps. The team found some chimp communities with infection rates as high as 35 percent, while others had no infection at all.\n\nEvery single infected chimp had a common base genetic pattern that indicated a common ancestor, Hahn said.\n\nThere are three types of HIV-1, the strain of the human virus responsible for most of the worldwide epidemic. Genetic analysis let Hahn identify chimp communities near Cameroon’s Sanaga River whose viral strains are most closely related to the most common of those HIV-1 subtypes.\n\n“The genetic similarity was striking,” Hahn said.\n\nThe first human known to be infected with HIV was a man from Kinshasa in the nearby country of Congo who had his blood stored in 1959 as part of a medical study, decades before scientists knew the AIDS virus existed.\n\nPresumably, someone in rural Cameroon was bitten by a chimp or was cut while butchering one and became infected with the ape virus. That person passed it to someone else.\n\nThe Sanaga River long has been a commercial waterway, for transporting hardwood, ivory and other items to more urban areas. Eventually, someone infected made it to Kinshasa.\n\n“How many different transmission events occurred between that initial hunter and this virus making it to Kinshasa, I don’t know. It could have been one, it could have been 10, it could have been 100,” Hahn said. “Eventually, it ended up in an urban area, and that’s where it really got going.”\n\nSomewhere in all that spread, the virus became more deadly to people than it is to chimps, who seldom are bothered much by SIV.\n\nThe research seems to settle any question of HIV’s origin, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health’s AIDS chief.\n\nWhen tracing a virus’ evolution, “it’s important to get as close to the source as you can,” he said. “It’s of historic interest.”

Many parasites can be found in the human respitatory system.  I'm talking worms and amoebas, not just bacteria and viruses.  Paragonium westermanni is a fluke that lives as an adult in the lungs.  Acanthamoeba sp. are Protozoic amoebas that can live in the lungs, as well.  Many nematodes (round, unsegmented worms) such as Ascaris lumbricoides, Necator americanus, Ancyclostoma duodenale, and Strongyloides stercoralis begin as eggs in the intestine, hatch into larvae, burrow through your intestine, into your blood stream, and enter your lungs where they are coughed up, swallowed, and return to the intestines where they live out their life cycles.  (That's a long way to go just to get to where you already are!)  While these guys are in the lungs they can produce pneumonia like symptoms.\n\nIf you want bacteria, some common causes of pneumonia and respiratory tract infections include:  Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria sp, Haemophilus influenza and H. parainfluenza, and Klebsiella pneumonia, to name a few.\n\nYeasts include Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. \n\nThis list is incomplete at best.  Depending on your immune status and location, the occurences of these organisms vary.

Scientists have found skeletons of a hobbit-like species of human that grew no larger than a three-year-old modern child.  The tiny humans, who had skulls about the size of grapefruits, lived with pygmy elephants and Komodo dragons on a remote island in Indonesia 18,000 years ago. \n\nAustralian and Indonesian researchers discovered bones of the miniature humans in a cave on Flores, an island east of Bali and midway between Asia and Australia. \n\nScientists have determined that the first skeleton they found belongs to a species of human completely new to science. Named Homo floresiensis, after the island on which it was found, the tiny human has also been dubbed by dig workers as the "hobbit," after the tiny creatures from the Lord of the Rings books. \n\nThe original skeleton, a female, stood at just 1 meter (3.3 feet) tall, weighed about 25 kilograms (55 pounds), and was around 30 years old at the time of her death 18,000 years ago. \n\nThe skeleton was found in the same sediment deposits on Flores that have also been found to contain stone tools and the bones of dwarf elephants, giant rodents, and Komodo dragons, lizards that can grow to 10 feet (3 meters) and that still live today. \n\nHomo floresienses has been described as one of the most spectacular discoveries in paleoanthropology in half a century—and the most extreme human ever discovered. \n\nThe species inhabited Flores as recently as 13,000 years ago, which means it would have lived at the same time as modern humans, scientists say. \n\n"To find that as recently as perhaps 13,000 years ago, there was another upright, bipedal—although small-brained—creature walking the planet at the same time as modern humans is as exciting as it was unexpected," said Peter Brown, a paleoanthropologist at the University of New England in New South Wales, Australia. \n\nBrown is a co-author of the study describing the findings, which appears in the October 28 issue of the science journal Nature. The National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration has sponsored research related to the discovery. The find will be covered in greater detail in a documentary airing early next year on the National Geographic Channel. \n\n"It is totally unexpected," said Chris Stringer, director of the Human Origins program at the Natural History Museum in London. "To have early humans on the remote island of Flores is surprising enough. That some are only about a meter tall with a chimp-size brain is even more remarkable. That they were still there less than 20,000 years ago, and [that] modern humans must have met them, is astonishing." \n\nThe researchers estimate that the tiny people lived on Flores from about 95,000 years ago until at least 13,000 years ago. The scientists base their theory on charred bones and stone tools found on the island. The blades, perforators, points, and other cutting and chopping utensils were apparently used to hunt big game. \n\nIn an accompanying Nature commentary, Marta Mirazón Lahr and Robert Foley, both with the Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies at the University of Cambridge, England, describe Homo floresiensis as changing our understanding of late human evolutionary geography, biology, and culture. \n\nThe discovery shows that the genus Homo is more varied and more flexible in its ability to adapt than previously thought. (The genus Homo also includes modern humans, Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and Neandertals—all of which are marked by relatively large braincases, erect posture, opposable thumbs, and the ability to make tools.) \n\n"Homo floresiensis is an addition to the short list of other human species that lived at the same time as modern humans. I think people will be surprised to learn that not so long ago, we were not alone," said Brown. \n\nLost World of Tiny People \n\nDespite its smaller body size, smaller brain, and mixture of primitive and advanced anatomica

Hi there !\nIt is a good question !\nTuberculous Bacteria can affect any organ or tissue in the body...! \nWhen I said, "orgain or tissue", I mean it can invade / affect any place where blood supply is available ! It has been found in Brain, skin, Lungs, Heart, Lymphatics, LLiver, Spleen, joints Kidneys, Bones and intestines !\nNails and Hair are NOT considered as "tissues "....or "organs"\nHope this answers your querry ??\n\nBest wishes !

I don't know, but I doubt it.  Although the popularly accepted story of where syphilis originated is that it came from people having sex with sheep, it is still an infection, and as such, merely has the property of infecting more than one species of host.  That would be kind of like saying that rabies has components of skunk, squirrel, bat, dog and cat protein.  See what I mean?

That is really bad!\nThey MUST go to a doctor.\nThey are poisoning their system.\nThere is a reason behind it.  Diet, blockage, cancer, some disorder.\nYou should have at least one a DAY.  \nDon't mess around with other people that are not doctors either, to get flushed out or whatever.  There is a serious medical problem.

No, it hasn't left Asia yet, hasn't been found in humans outside Asia, or humans at all (not sure).  It's a media hype to keep us scared.

Direct quote (not my own words)\n\nToxoplasmosis is an important zoonotic disease. Around 30% of the adult population in the UK have serological evidence of infection but, as with cats, the vast majority of these human infections are either asymptomatic or result in only mild clinical disease. Of major concern however, is congenitally acquired toxoplasmosis. As noted above, this can only occur when a previously unexposed (non-immune) woman acquires toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. In this situation there is approximately a 40% chance that the foetus will acquire the infection, and in around 10% of these cases, severe neurological or ocular disease is present at birth. \n\nMost surveys show that owning a cat, or having direct contact with a cat does not constitute an increased risk of acquiring toxoplasmosis. Although cats are crucial in the life-cycle of T gondii , and are the only known source of oocysts present in the environment, it is stray and feral cats more than pet cats that are implicated in this. In the UK and other industrialised countries, it is mainly adolescent and adult humans who acquire infection with T gondii , and this is primarily correlated with the acquired habits of eating undercooked meat, and of poor meat hygiene. Ingestion of infected meat therefore appears to be the major source of human infection in the UK . \n\nFollowing a few sensible environmental and meat hygiene measures can greatly reduce the risk of human infection. \n\nCook all meat thoroughly to at least 70 degrees C \nWash hands, utensils and surfaces carefully after handling raw meat \nWash all vegetables carefully \nWear gloves when gardening in soil potentially contaminated by cat faeces \nEmpty cat litter trays daily, dispose of litter carefully and disinfect tray with boiling water. If this is done every day, even if a cat is excreting oocysts, they will not have sporulated and therefore will not be infectious by the time the litter is changed \nDiscourage pet cats from hunting and avoid feeding raw/undercooked meat \nCover any children's sandpits/boxes to prevent cats using them as a litter tray. \n \n\nFeline Advisory Bureau

No record of who actually discovered it. It is several thousands of years old. It can be naturally extracted from Willow bark.

Good grief, you need some basic understanding of human anatomy: without a blood supply nothing can live outside the human body. When organs are transplanted they are held suspended on ice in coolers in solutions made to mimic body fluids.  Kidneys cannot live outside the human body and must be connected to a blood supply to function.\n\n A fish breathes water through its gills and cannot live on land unless it is amphibian, in which case it is not a fish. A fish is nothing remotely resembling a human kidney.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibian
