For those of you that do not consider testing on animals is necessary, please contact me and I will put your names forward for the next round of clinical tests.\n\nYou can choose from Anthrax, Botulism, Aids, Lassa Fever, Ebola virus, and many others.\n\nStill interested?

The animal responsible for the most human deaths world-wide is the mosquito. It seems humorous, but its a major problem.\n\nThe disease-carrying mosquito, delivering encephalitis, the West Nile virus, malaria, and Dengue fever, is by far the deadliest beast in the animal world. The World Health Organization says mosquitos cause more than 2 million deaths a year worldwide.\n\nMalaria kills one child every 30 seconds worldwide.\n\nFor more info, check here...\n\nhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/05/CMG3NCLBKA1.DTL

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)(aka mad cow disease) is a transmissible, neurodegenerative, fatal brain disease of cattle. Your brain ends up looking like a sponge. BSE is transmitted to humans and expressed as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. The time between first occurrence of symptoms and death is 15 months, but the incubation period (period between infection and appearance of symtpoms) can be as long as 40 years.\n\nHave fun with your research, it's a very interesting disease!

Mad cow disease is also called bovine spongiform encephalopathy.  In humans it causes something called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).  It mimics the symptoms of a previously known neurological condition, regular CJD, but it tends to claim much younger victims and progresses at a much more rapid rate.  The disease is transmitted by a prion, a malformed bit of protein, which is an even smaller infectious unit than a virus, and doesn't even contain any genetic material.  It's simply a misshapen protein which causes similar proteins to bend into this same abnormal shape.  Accumulations of this abnormal protein build up in the brain, causing tissue damage and cell death.  In humans, behavioural and psychiatric symptoms similar to dementia are seen,  as well as neurological symptoms, including pain with no apparent source, delayed reaction time, and faulty reflexes.

Through eating sick birds or exposure to their contaminated body fluids or feces.  Their have also been several documented cases of the virus passing between family members, due to their close contact, in SE. Asia. However the virus is not capable at this time of any regular or widespread transmission between humans.

it would be more likely to be an animal do you have dogs? they can be carriers of strep and flu and not show any signs

we have em in PA. I saw my first one the other day. it was an old dude in a beat-up pick-up truck. he was picking up deer carcases. he was wearing short sleaves and not rubber gloves. one of the hoofs was sticking out over the side and he was pokeing it back in with an old crutch. very cucky!

There is a major epidemic sweeping through the land...cranealrectumitis. I think it is irreversible.

The ZOMBIE is right,IT IS INTERESTING;) \nCurrent International Research suggests that the virus is killed within seconds of reaching 70 degree C. Avoid food that conatins raw meat or eggs!any properly cooked chicken or egg poses no threat!\n\nBon Apetit

It's definitely a threat, but there are some misconceptions.  You can't get it by eating birds, in the same way you can't get another kind of influenza in humans by eating humans.  It's not equatable to mad cow disease, as I've heard has been claimed.  You can, however, get it if you breathe contaminated air.  If you've got birds, then either eat them or rid yourself of them.  If you're on the east coast of either of the American continents, or in the middle, then you should be relatively safer, at least for a longer period of time.  There have been cases in southeast Asia, where it was first found, and it has migrated as far as Greece and Romania and there was a small scare in Warsaw a few weeks ago but that's all that's been in the news.  So yes, worry, but it's not likely to turn into another Black Plague.  Knock on wood.

YES! it happened to my little girl. The doctor told me that the outbreak would be very mild and it was about 2 or three small spots that looked like bug bites.

We have no statistics to back that up.  I doubt that anyone went into the jungle to count any other species dying from the disease.  The really scary part is that it comes in waves, and dies out on its own.

Mad cow disease is caused by a prion aka an infectious protien. Prions don't have life cycles they are passed from one organism to another usually through ingestion of infected tissue in most cases nervous tissue. If that's even what you're asking. If your looking for the disease process ask for it also whether or not you want to know what it does to cows or humans
