Extractions: Cholera: G Proteins are at full speed ahead Cholera is caused by a comma-shaped bacterium, Vibrio cholerae , which is ingested in contaminated water and food. The bacteria multiply enormously in the intestine, where epithelial cells allow fluid to leak into the intestine with intense diarrhoea as a result. Cholera is endemic in India and other parts of the third world. The bacterium discovered by Robert Koch in 1884, can be killed by antibiotics, but the disease is caused by a bacterial toxin, which irreversibly activates the G proteins of epithelial cells in the intestine. This results in an often life-threatening loss of water and salts. From Koch's discovery of the cholera bacterium in 1884 it took researchers about 100 years to expose the real cause of the disease - the effect of the bacterial toxin on G proteins The cholera bacterium is shaped like a comma with a tail (above).

He made his studies in the seminary at Nola, where his uncle was rector. After his ordination, he continued the study of philosophy, with the special view of comparing the various systems. He became a canon of the cathedral of Naples, professor of logic and metaphysics in the seminary substitute-professor of ethics in the university, and eventually scrittore in the National Library. Sanseverino had been educated in the Cartesian system, which at that time prevailed in the ecclesiastical schools of Italy, but his comparative study of the various systems supplied him with a deeper knowledge of the Scholastics, particularly St. Thomas, and of the intimate connection between their doctrine and that of the Fathers. From that time until the end of his life, his only concern was the restoration of Christian P ROVERITA Del Canonico Gaetano Sanseverino (Naples, 1867).

Extractions: Cholera Applications: Cholera History Cholera British arrived there. One of the first documented epidemics of cholera occurred in 1817 along the coastal region near the mouth of the Ganges River. Cholera now has a worldwide presence , with many people dying each year. Most deaths from cholera can be avoided if adequate medical care were made available. John Snow identified the Broad Street water pump as the single point source of that outbreak. His classical maps showing where people who became sick lived convinced him that the only possible source of the infection was the water pump. This landmark study established the epidemiological view of cholera that has endured until quite recently. In London on the corner of Broadwick (formerly Broad) stands the John Snow pub , a fitting commemorative honoring the site on which these historic events unfolded. Today, all patrons of the John Snow can enjoy a pint of local ale, and even more importantly, a refreshing glass of crystal clear, pathogen-free water.Since 1961, there have been seven major cholera

With respect to Italy, it is now most necessary to implore the intercession of the most powerful Virgin through the medium of the Rosary, since a misfortune, and not an imaginary one, is threateningnay, rather is among us. The Asiatic cholera, having, under God's will, crossed the boundary within which nature seemed to have confined it, has spread through the crowded shores of a French port, and thence to the neighboring districts of Italian soil.To Mary, therefore, we must flyto her whom rightly and justly the Church entitles the dispenser of saving, aiding, and protecting giftsthat she, graciously hearkening to our prayers, may grant us the help they besought, and drive far from us the unclean plague. 4. We have therefore resolved that in this coming month of October, in which the sacred devotions to Our Virgin Lady of the Rosary are solemnized throughout the Catholic world, all the devotions shall again be observed which were commanded by Us this time last year.We therefore decree and make order that from the 1st of October to the 2nd of November following in all the parish churches (curialibus templis), in all public churches dedicated to the Mother of God, or in such as are appointed by the Ordinary, five decades at least of the Rosary be recited, together with the Litany. If in the morning, the Holy Sacrifice will take place during these prayers; if in the evening, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for the adoration of the faithful; after which those present will receive the customary Benediction. We desire that, wherever it be lawful, the local confraternity of the Rosary should make a solemn procession through the streets as a public manifestation of religious devotion.

Extractions: The Cholera Epidemic of 1832 Edited by Srtephen R. Powell For more on the Cholera Epidemic click here to read the diaries of George Washington Jonson who lived through the outbreak of 1834. The dreaded Asiatic cholera had been spreading over Europe in 1831, and while desperate efforts were made to keep it out of America, it was found to be in Quebec in the spring of 1832, having been carried it is thought by emigrants from Ireland. The scourge passed up the St. Lawrence, and by the time it reached Buffalo, the residents were so very apprehensive that it found receptive material, and the state in the young city soon became very serious. "It may be said that at the first visitation of the pestilence one-half of its victims were carried off by fear and fright," wrote Samuel M. Welch. Further, he said: "Buffalo was severely afflicted by this visitation. The treatment of the disease was mostly experimental, its nature not being understood; indeed the epidemic at times seemed to have full sway, without check. A man might be in apparent good health in the morning and in his grave the same night. Often people were taken away for burial in the night of the day of their death. "The death carts would patrol the streets, and when there would seem an indication of a death in a house, the driver would shout: 'Bring out your dead!' Bodies were not permitted to remain unburied over an hour or two, if it were possible to obtain carriers, or a sexton to bury them."

Extractions: ( Note: The preferred term for this disease is now classical swine fever.) (Classical swine fever, peste du porc, colera porcina, Virusschweinepest) Definition Hog cholera (HC) is a highly contagious viral disease of swine that occurs in an acute, a subacute, a chronic, or a persistent form. In the acute form, the disease is characterized by high fever, severe depression, multiple superficial and internal hemorrhages, and high morbidity and mortality. In the chronic form, the signs of depression, anorexia, and fever are less severe than in the acute form, and recovery is occasionally seen in mature animals. Transplacental infection with viral strains of low virulence often results in persistently infected piglets, which constitute a major cause of virus dissemination to noninfected farms. Etiology Although minor antigenic variants of hog cholera virus (HCV) have been reported, there is only one serotype. Hog cholera virus is a lipid-enveloped pathogen belonging to the family Flaviviridae, genus Pestivirus . The organism has a close antigenic relationship with the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and the border disease virus (BDV), as demonstrated in the immunodiffusion and immunofluorescence tests. The serum neutralization test can, however, differentiate between HCV and BVDV. In a protein-rich environment, HCV is very stable and can survive for months in refrigerated meat and for years in frozen meat. The virus is sensitive to drying (desiccation) and is rapidly inactivated by a pH of less than 3 and greater than 11.

Extractions: Cholera is spread by eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with the bacteria. People traveling to foreign countries with areas of poor hygiene and insufficient water treatment may be at a greater risk. Cholera can also be spread by eating contaminated shellfish such as oysters and clams. Shellfish become infected by coming into contact with contaminated sewage.
How The Cholera Bacterium Got Its Virulence

Extractions: Harvard Researchers Find Cholera Bacterium May Take Instruction From a Virus BOSTONJune 28, 1996In 1993, as cholera swept through India, scientists were faced with a set of perplexing questions: What caused the deadly Bengal strain of cholera to reappear? Where did the deadly cholera pathogen come from in the first place? Scientists have known that the cholera bacterium (Vibrio cholera) owes its virulence to two factorsthe cholera toxin and another protein, TCP pili, which enables it to clump together and adhere to the intestines. But how the Vibrio cholera got those deadly factors has been a mystery. Two Harvard Medical School scientists have found a partial answer to the puzzle. It appears that the cholera pathogen responsible for the Indian epidemic (Vibrio cholera 01) picked up one of its most lethal patches of DNAthe gene coding for the cholera toxinfrom a virus, CTX phage. "Here you have this dumb bacteriumVibrio cholerae doesn't know how to become a pathogenand the virus instructs it by introducing the cholera gene into the bacterial genome. The virus is the smart player in the interaction," says John Mekalanos, Shipley Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. He and Matthew K. Waldor, research fellow in medicine, announced their findings in the June 28 issue of Science. The virus's first clever act is to select its students. It appears to introduce the gene for cholera toxin only into those bacteria that express the TCP pili protein.

Cholera
cholera (or Asiatic cholera ) is a severe bacterial infection ofthe gut, caused by Vibrio cholerae. A bloated, crampy feeling
http://www.posen-l.com/Cholera.htm

Extractions: Cholera (or "Asiatic Cholera") is a severe bacterial infection of the gut, caused by Vibrio cholerae. A bloated, crampy feeling in the abdomen quickly gives way to huge quantities of very watery stool. The stool, which has little odor, is often referred to as "rice-water stool" because of its appearance (very watery, light colored and laced with tiny bits of mucus). Usually there is no fever and no blood in the stool, but there may be vomiting. Death is caused by the dehydration (loss of water from the body). As the disease progresses, victims will experience: Intense thirst; extreme weakness; sunken eyes; decreased urination, or concentrated urine; dry, wrinkled skin; quickened heart rate; lowered blood pressure; weakened pulse; sleepiness; unconsciousness; seizures; kidney failure. The symptoms may appear 1 to 7 days after eating food or drinking water contaminated with the bacteria, typically within 2 to 3 days. Contamination is from contact with the feces or vomitus of someone infected with cholera. Cholera was often spread in the home by someone who is infected with the bacteria preparing food for others or sharing a drinking cup. For most of the 1800s, cholera was greatly misunderstood. It was easy to see that those in proximity to infected persons were in danger. Whether it was caused by contact with the person, or with the environment was a matter of unprovable opinion. Many were of the opinion that certain areas had "poisonous vapors" and the cause was generally believed to be related to either poor sanitation, close quarters contaminated with the "bad air" of human civilization or both. It was generally thought to be the scourge of the depraved, poor masses, since it hit first and hardest in the poorest, most crowded places. In Europe and America, many felt that since it originated in non-Christian areas, that cleanliness and Godliness would protect. It wasnt uncommon for some to blame it on a lack of morality. Originally, it was thought unable to survive the cold of winter.
