FECV is very common, especially in places where large groups of cats are kept together (animal shelters, catteries, etc). Cats become infected by inhaling or ingesting the virus. The most commonly cited transmission source is feces, although virus-contaminated surfaces such as food dishes and clothing can trasmit the virus as well. Despite the prevalence of FECV, most infected cats do not develop FIP. Often exposure to FECV produces no symptoms, but may cause a mild upper respiratory disease. Therefore, a cat with no symptoms whatsoev ...

The laboratory hallmark of the disease is the presence of so-called atypical lymphocytes (a type of mononuclear cell) on the peripheral blood smear. In addition, the overall white blood cell count is almost invariably increased, particularly the number of lymphocytes. The mono spot tests for infectious mononucleosis by examining the patient's blood for so-called heterophile antibodies, which cause agglutination (sticking together) of non-human red blood cells. This screening test is non-specific. Confirmation of t ...

Children with Kawasaki disease are hospitalized and care is normally shared between pediatric cardiology and infectious disease specialists, although no infectious agent has been demonstrated. It is imperative that treatment be started as soon as the diagnosis is made to prevent damage to the coronary arteries, heart, and eyes. Intravenous gamma globulin is the standard treatment for Kawasaki disease and is administered in high doses. Marked improvement is usually noted within ...

Although dissidents disagree on many aspects concerning HIV and AIDS, there are some claims that a majority of dissidents support, and these claims form the heart of their arguments. This section describes some of the arguments that are frequently made by dissidents, along with the counter-arguments that are made in response. The following are summarised from some major papers of Peter Duesberg and others. See also:

The delay between consumption of a contaminated food and appearance of the first symptoms of illness is called the incubation period. This ranges from hours to days (and rarely months or even years), depending on the agent, and on how much was consumed. If symptoms occur within 1-6 hours after eating the food, it suggests that it is caused by a bacterial toxin rather than live bacteria. During the incubation period, microbes pass through the stomach into the intestine, attach to the cells lining the intestinal walls, and begin to mult ...

An early theory on the causes of food poisoning involved ptomaines, alkaloids found in decaying animal and vegetable matter. While some poisonous alkaloids are the cause of poisoning, the discovery of bacteria left the ptomaine theory obsolete. Foodborne illness - Bacteria.

The vast majority of reported cases of foodborne illness occur as individual or sporadic cases. In most cases these originate, and occur, in the home. An outbreak occurs when two or more people suffer foodborne illness after consuming food from a contaminated batch. Often, a combination of events contributes to an outbreak, for example, food might be left at room temperature for many hours, allowing bacteria to multiply which is compounded by inadequate cooking which results in a failure to ...

Foodborne illness - United Kingdom. Since the 1970s, key changes in UK food safety law have taken place following serious outbreaks of food poisoning. These included the death of 19 patients in the Stanley Royd Hospital outbreak [5]; and the death of 17 people in the 1996 Wishaw outbreak of E.coli O157 [6], which was a precursor to the establishment of the Food Standards Agency which, according to Tony Blair in the 1998 white paper A Force for Change Cm 3830 "would be powerful, open and dedicated to the in ...

Some diseases, such as influenza, are contagious or infectious, and can be transmitted by any of a variety of mechanisms, including droplets from coughs and sneezes, by bites of insects or other vectors, from contaminated water or food, etc. Other diseases, such as cancer and heart disease are not considered to be due to infection, although micro-organisms may play a role. ...

A person can be infected with the virus for weeks or months before any symptoms begin to appear. Symptoms usually begin to appear 4-7 weeks after infection and may resemble strep throat or other bacterial or viral respiratory infections. These first signs of the disease are commonly confused with cold and flu symptoms. The typical symptoms and signs of mononucleosis are: Fever - this varies from mild to severe, but is seen in nearly all cases.

The theory that TSEs are caused by an infectious agent made solely of protein has been around since the 1960s [2], [3].
