Ebola Feasibility Study

This decline in the prairie dog population in turn affects the black footed ferret population. Other factors that reduce the chances of the black footed ferret’s survival include the conversion of farmland and hunting. (North Dakota Carnivores). The primary reason the black footed ferret is endangered originates from the spread of the plague. According to Oldemeyer, “plague is a flea transmitted disease of rodents caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis that exists in widespread, discontinuous foci in parts of Africa” (Oldemeyer 28).

Through the AAA, numerous aids became accessible, including the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act of May 1933, which administered two hundred million dollars in federal funding in hopes of remortgaging farmers who anguished over their foreclosures. That same month, the Farm Credit Act was adopted to allocate a complex of banks with the purpose of dispensing loans on minimal interest. Although disapproved by Franklin Roosevelt, Congress ratified the Frazier-Lemke Farm Bankruptcy Act of 1934, which was promoted by North Dakota Representative and Senator, William Lemke and Lynn Frazier, respectively. The Frazier-Lemke Farm Bankruptcy Act restricted the bank’s power of reclaiming land from farmers suffering economic issues (“Dust Bowl” 3). Those opposed

The magnitude of the exposure based on data collection revealed over 35 households, 172 individuals and approximately one quarter mile distance from the exposure site (CDC, 2003). Exposure of the hazard intially took place over hours, the crops were injected in the am and by evening the hazard had created health concerns, duration is questionable as the survey only measures 11 days post exposure yet symptoms remained. The character of the hazard is chemical in nature and reported as an irritant effect on indivuduals exposed, allergy like symptoms (respiratory, eye etc.) are

His understanding of the necessity for wildness occurred when he kills one of the area’s few remaining wolves, and watching “the fierce green fire” die in the wolf’s eye, he realized that much of what he had learned was wrong. Leopold became one of America’s first advocated for wilderness, which also included spearheading protection for the high country of the Gila National Forest in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona in 1924. Soon after, this area was later announced as the Aldo Leopold Wilderness. The Sand County’s essay stressed the importance of concerns for the need for wild spaces and that we will lose something is and when they disappear. Although Leopold is no longer around to witness the conservation going on, many is surprised to see how his work had influenced the modern wilderness movement and the amount of land now protected.

Bobcats, Canada lynx, bears, wolverines, and packs of coyotes usually prey mainly on fawns. Bears may sometimes attack adult deer, while lynxes, coyotes, and wolverines are most likely to take adult deer when the ungulates are weakened by harsh winter weather. Many scavengers rely on deer as carrion, including New World vultures, raptors, foxes, and corvids.By the early 20th century, commercial exploitation and unregulated

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study will be to determine the effectiveness of influenza information, received from the Fresno State Student Health and Counseling Center, on influenza vaccination rates of college-aged (18 to 24 year old) students. For the purpose of this study, the researcher will examine the demographic variables of race/ethnicity, gender, health insurance coverage, and age. Seasonal influenza (“Flu”) is a viral infection that can lead to morbidity and mortality among those infected by it (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014a). According to the World Health Organization (2014) influenza affects everyone, regardless of age. There are over 21 million young adults aged 18 to 24 enrolled in some form of post-secondary education in the United States (National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 2013).

Sustainable forest management requires three major criteria which are the maintenance of ecological processes within the forest (soil formation, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nutrient and hydrological cycles), maintenance of biodiversity of forest, improving the net social benefits derived from the mixture of forest uses within the constraints by considering the future. Forest provides habitats for more than half of the fauna and flora on the Earth (SCBD, 2001). Forest biome plays an important role in mitigating climate change by serving as carbon sinks (Hassan et al., 2005). Forest land is the most fundamental natural resources which become reduced mainly due to anthropogenic pressures. For proper management of land, it is essential to have information about existing land cover and about the naturalness of the land.

Task 2 C228 V2 Breanna Bras Western Governors University An example of a communicable disease outbreak that crossed international borders is the H1N1 influenza virus, also known as “swine flu”. The H1N1 flu outbreak was originally discovered in April 2009. The first known occurrence originated in Mexico and then was detected in the United States soon after. By May 2009, the H1N1 flu virus was confirmed to have spread to a total of 39 countries including: Spain, United Kingdom, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, China, France, Korea, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, Germany, Argentina, El Salvador, Belgium, Denmark, Australia, Peru, Norway, India, Austria, Thailand Cuba, Sweden, Portugal, Ecuador, Finland, Guatemala, Israel, Malaysia, Netherlands, Turkey and Poland ("Latest news on swine flu", 2009).

The different topics of my sources convey the range of topic points that will be covered. In Lisa Schlein’s,”Trade in Albino Body Parts Flourishing in Africa” she first addresses the problem of Albino people being hunted for their limbs. She then goes into detail on the documentary that was showed to the United Nations panel. The documentary includes both an Albino and a Witch Doctor, and goes into depth on the Albino body part market; it depicts both the prices of which they are sold and the superstitious beliefs as being reasons for this market. In Coventry’s article, “Surge in 'stunningly vicious attacks ' on albino children in East Africa, UN rights chief warns” it gives recent statistics of how many attacks, abductions and murders had occurred in just the past 6 months from the publication date.

EBOLA The Ebola episode in West Africa is the world 's deadliest to date and the World Health Organization has pronounced a global wellbeing crisis as more than 3,850 individuals have died of the infection in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria this year. What is Ebola? Ebola is a viral disease of which the underlying manifestations can incorporate a sudden fever, extraordinary shortcoming, muscle torment and a sore throat, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Also, that is only the starting: consequent stages are heaving, loose bowels and - sometimes - both interior and outer dying. The ailment taints people through close contact with contaminated creatures, including chimpanzees, natural product bats and woods eland.

THE VACCINE AGAINST INFLUENZA VIRUS The vaccination for the influenza virus came to be in 1936 after several years of work by Wilson Smith, Christopher Andrews and Patrick Laidrow (Panse, 2009). They used ferrets to demonstrate how interaction with the influenza virus helped build immunity to future interactions with the virus (Plotkin and Plotkin, 2011). The “flu shot” as it is commonly referred to helps individuals build immunity from the influenza virus that is most prevalent during the fall and winter months each year. The flu vaccine has several commercial names and doses each “season”. During 2015-2016 flu season the names of the influenza vaccines were: Fluzone, Fluarix, FluLaval, Fluvirin, Afluria, Flucelvax, FluBlok, Fluzone Intradermal, Fluzone High Dose, and FluMist (Gibberd, 2015).

People of the everglades is in danger for the hunters may think they are pythons to and shoot them to. How would you feel if you were living in the Florida everglades with the rapid growing carnivore? To conclude, the hunting pets and the danger of the everglades have went to extreme. The hunters have went too far with these animals. These Burmese pythons are changing the ecosystem of the everglades in so many ways.

Bushmeat trade is the greatest threat to biodiversity in forests in West and Central Africa. Chimpanzees today can be found in forests and savannas of tropical West and Central Africa. Next, I am going to be talking about their lifestyles. Chimps live in groups called communities. These communities are made
