chik·un·gun·ya\n\n(chik²[schwa]n-gun¢y[schwa]) [Swahili “that which bends up”] a self-limited disease resembling dengue, seen mainly in Africa and Southeast Asia, caused by an alphavirus transmitted chiefly by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes; its most prominent symptoms are musculoskeletal and it has occasionally been associated with hemorrhagic fever.\n\nChikungunya is a rare form of viral fever caused by an alphavirus that is spread by mosquito bites from the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The name is derived from the Swahili word meaning "that which bends up" in reference to the stooped posture developed as a result of the arthritic symptoms of the disease. \n\n\nright now there is a high percentage of people who live on the island "La Reunion" a island that belongs to France near madagascar, that have this disease.

It's "a disease caused by abnormal expression of one or more genes in a person causing a clinical phenotype."\n\nIt's genetic because it's not something that you can get from someone else in the traditional meaning ("I caught a cold from my wife", etc). Nor can someone with a genetic disorder infect someone else ("I infected my brother with chicken pox").

It's actually "Addison Disease."  This was the info I found on it:\n\n"Addison's disease [for Thomas Addison Addison, Thomas, 1793–1860, English physician, b. near Newcastle, grad. Univ. of Edinburgh (M.D., 1815). In 1837 he became a physician at Guy's Hospital, London, where he conducted important research on pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other diseases. He was the first to recognize (1855) the disease of the adrenal glands that later became known as Addison's disease , and he is equally famous for his description of pernicious anemia, a progressive disease brought about by atrophy of the outer layer, or cortex, of the adrenal gland adrenal gland (ədrēn`əl) or suprarenal gland (s) ; it is also called chronic adrenocortical insufficiency. The deterioration of this tissue causes a decrease in the secretion of steroid hormones, many of which are necessary for the maintenance of life. In many cases the cause of the wasting process is not known; in others the predominant cause is the formation and infiltration of tumors, inflammatory disease, or surgery. Symptoms are increasing weakness, abnormal pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes, weight loss, low blood pressure, dehydration, and gastrointestinal upsets. Secondary Addison's disease is most commonly caused by acute withdrawal of steroids. Once considered inevitably fatal, Addison's disease can now be treated with injections of adrenocortical hormones."\n\nHope that helps.

Bartonellosis is an infectious bacterial disease with an acute form (which has a sudden onset and short course) and a chronic form (which has more gradual onset and longer duration). The disease is transmitted by sandflies and occurs in western South America. Characterized by a form of red blood cell deficiency (hemolytic anemia) and fever, the potentially fatal acute form is called OROYA fever or Carrion's disease. The chronic form is identified by painful skin lesions.

Coeliac disease is a condition caused by an inability to digest gluten, which often results in bowel symptoms, weight loss or failure to gain weight, and lack of certain vitamins and minerals with consequential problems such as anaemia and osteoporosis. \n\nSymptoms\nDiarrhoea and bulky, smelly motions that float often occur in coeliac disease. This results in less nutrients being absorbed from the bowel, and thus weight loss or failure to grow and put on weight in children. Sufferers sometimes have a swollen or bloated belly. \n\nChildren with coeliac disease may eat a lot, but not put on any weight or lose weight. (This can also be a symptom of diabetes.) \n\nPeople with coeliac disease may also develop problems associated with absorbing iron and vitamins less well ie anaemia, which leads to general tiredness and sometimes shortness of breath or fluid retention. \n\nCoeliac disease may cause problems in the bones by reducing the absorption of calcium and vitamin D from food. This may cause osteoporosis or osteomalacia. \n\nMore info at: http://www.medinfo.co.uk/conditions/coeliac.html

Bronze diabetes (hemochromatosis) \n \nA genetic disease in which the body takes in too much iron from food; this causes excess iron to be deposited in the liver and heart and other organs, eventually leading to organ failure and death. This illness is called "bronze diabetes" because the kidneys often fail, leading to symptoms similar to those found with diabetes mellitus, and because the deposition of iron into the skin makes the person look like he or she has an all-over tan.\nIt used to be believed that this disease was rare and mainly affected people of Caucasian descent, but in recent years scientists have realized it is more common and affects a wide range of ethnic groups. Some believe that this genetic defect actually helps people (especially women) survive in areas where malnutrition is widespread and iron is scarce in food.\nRegular bloodletting (or blood donation) may help people suffering from this disease.
