Infection01:20

Infection

12.8K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Stages of Infection

65.6K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Defense Mechanism Against Infection

9.8K
Natural flora, body system defenses, and inflammation are natural barriers of the body against infectious agents regardless of previous exposure. Normal floras of the human body refer to the microbial population that colonizes the skin and mucous membranes.
In addition, many body organ systems have unique defenses against infection. The skin is an intact, multilayered surface preventing invasion by microorganisms unless impaired. Mucous membranes lining the mouth, nose, and eyelids are barriers...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.2K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.9K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Urinary Tract Infection I: Introduction

748
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) impact various parts of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These infections are generally bacterial, with Escherichia coli being the most common causative agent, often originating from the gastrointestinal tract. However, other bacteria, such as Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis, are also known to cause UTIs. The type, location, and underlying complexity of the UTI guide both...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A persistent outbreak of Goose hemorrhagic polyomavirus (GHPV) occurred on a Belgian goose farm, causing hemorrhagic nephritis enteritis of geese (HNEG). This case report confirms GHPV presence in regions with less extensive goose production.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Virology
  • Avian Pathology

Background:

  • Goose hemorrhagic polyomavirus (GHPV) causes hemorrhagic nephritis enteritis of geese (HNEG), a significant disease in European domestic geese.
  • HNEG outbreaks have been documented in major waterfowl-producing regions.

Observation:

  • A persistent outbreak of GHPV infection was observed on a Belgian goose farm.
  • Clinical signs, necropsy findings, and histopathology were consistent with HNEG.
  • Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis confirmed the presence of GHPV.

Findings:

  • This case report is the first documentation of a GHPV outbreak in Belgium.
  • The findings indicate GHPV outbreaks can occur in areas with less intensive goose farming.

Implications:

  • This study expands the known geographical distribution of GHPV and HNEG.
  • It highlights the need for disease surveillance in diverse goose production systems.
  • Understanding GHPV epidemiology is crucial for disease prevention and control in domestic geese.
