Extractions: NAME: Simbiosis ALIAS: Cholera, CTX Cholera and CTX were created by a member of 29A virus writers group for the Simbiosis project. This project was created to check how well the simbiosis of a Win32 virus and an Internet worm works and how fast it spreads. The virus-worm file is named SETUP.EXE and it contains an encrypted Cholera worm executable infected with a CTX virus. This file is usually received as an e-mail attachment. The message contains only a 'smile' sign - ':)'. If the SETUP.EXE file is run the system becomes infected with both CTX virus and Cholera worm. Cholera worm being activated displays a message: Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again. The CTX virus is an 'advanced' Win32 virus (as its creator states) it has features not typical for other Win32 viruses - self-integrity check, way of searching for Windows APIs by using CRCs instead of API names, EPO - Entry Point Obscuring (placing a jump to its body somewhere inside an infected file). Being activated the virus looks for Windows PE executables and infects them. The infection is of appending type. The virus body is encrypted. CTX virus doesn't have any payload and it manifests itself by a video effect only.

cholera. What is cholera? cholera, an acute bacterial disease that affectsthe intestinal tract, is caused by Vibrio cholerae. Who gets cholera?
http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/cd/cdcho.html

Extractions: Cholera, an acute bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract, is caused by Vibrio cholerae . Although only a few cases are recognized in the United States each year, epidemic levels of cholera have recently been reported in parts of Central and South America and Africa. In 2001, one case of cholera was reported in a New York City resident. Who gets cholera? People with cholera may experience mild to severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. Fever is usually absent. Approximately five percent of those who become infected will have severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps. Without treatment, the disease can be fatal.
Cholera Epidemics

http://user.intop.net/~jhollis/cholera.htm

Extractions: Eastern Europe Cholera is an intestinal infection caused by Vibro Cholerae. It can last from less than one to five days and produces an enterotoxin that causes painless, watery diarrhea that can lead to severe dehydration and possibly death if treatment is not given. Vomiting may also occur. Most people infected do not become sick, although the bacterium is present in their feces for 7-14 days. More than 90% of the cases are mild. Less than 10% develop cholera with signs of severe dehydration. There have, however, been pandemics, epidemics over a large area, of cholera in various parts of the world. Cholera is spread by contaminated water and food. Outbreaks are usually caused by a contamination in a water supply that many people use. It is very seldom that cholera is contracted from direct person-to-person contact. It is mainly a disease of young children. People with asymptomatic infections are responsible for carrying the disease from place to place causing the disease to spread. When epidemics occur in an area where there is no treatment available the fatality rate may be up to 50%; however, the treated diseases can make the fatality cases less than 1% according to the World Health Organization. Today cholera is not such a threat in developed countries and many people have never even heard of it. Our water supplies today are very clean and up to standard. People today do not have to drink out of the river or out of wells as in the 1800s. Some third world countries are faced with the problem of cholera because their people do not have the advances of many of the other countries. After serious disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, or earthquakes, cholera is often a concern, and cholera has to be contained and treated as soon as possible.

IV drip treatment of cholera victims at a refugee camp in Mozambique. Medecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders Project Motivation Cholera is an acute intestinal infection which, if not treated, can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death. Rehydration through the intravenous (IV) drip infusion of saline is the only technique available for the treatment of severe cholera. In a cholera epidemic, where many patients need to be treated as quickly as possible, it is critical that setting up IV equipment and initiating treatment occurs as rapidly as possible. Cholera epidemics in refugee camps or resulting from natural disasters can lead to a situation where the number of patients exceeds the capacity of the trained medical staff on site. In this situation, as shown in the photo above, local people often wind up treating each other. This creates a need for IV drip devices that are intuitive to set up and operate, for people who have little or no medical training and who may even be illiterate.

Long Island History / The 1892 Cholera Panic
home page, Islip officials and townspeople try to stop a quarantineof ship passengers on Fire Island The 1892 cholera Panic. Suffolk
http://www.newsday.com/extras/lihistory/histpast/past711.htm

Extractions: Staff Writer IT CAME MIGHTY CLOSE to be being the Battle of Fire Island. Think of it. It is late August, 1892. A raging cholera epidemic in Europe threatens to infect American shores through stricken steerage passengers emigrating from Hamburg, Germany. Incoming ocean liners are quarantined and steerage passengers are offloaded to quarantine hospitals on Hoffman and Swinburne Islands in Lower New York Bay. When all else fails, the dead are transferred to the Swinburne crematory. Long Island Studies Institute at Most of the more affluent travelers in first and second-class cabins are not infected, but under the quarantine they are not allowed into the country for 20 days. When so-called Asian cholera an acute infectious disease spread by contaminated food and water quickly breaks out among stokers tending the steam boilers, however, panic sets in. Cabin passengers want off the ship. What to do with them during the duration of their quarantine? State health authorities have an idea. Out on the southern coast of Long Island is a sandy, virtually uninhabited barrier beach called Fire Island, where dwell only shorebirds, deer, ticks, occasional daytrippers and the master of the Fire Island Lighthouse. But at Democrat Point, at the western end of the island, there is a rundown old hotel called the Surf, which, in better days, played host to revelers and sun worshippers from far and wide.

Extractions: Initially a few pigs appear drowsy and less active, with some anorexia and they may appear chilled. Within days, pigs will present with a marked fever (41-42 degrees C), sometimes with a reddening of the skin. The pigs develop a conjunctivitis and constipation leading to yellowish diarrhea. The pigs appear chilled and will huddle together. A few pigs may convulse before they die. Pigs start to die with a spreading purple discoloration of the skin. Death often occurs some 10 to 20 days post-infection.

Extractions: POINT OF CONTACT FOR THIS DOCUMENT: In January 1991, epidemic cholera appeared in South America and quickly spread to several countries. A few cases have occurred in the United States among persons who traveled to South America or ate contaminated food brought back by travelers. Cholera has been very rare in industrialized nations for the last 100 years; however, the disease is still common today in other parts of the world, including the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa. Although cholera can be life-threatening, it is easily prevented and treated. In the United States, because of advanced water and sanitation systems, cholera is not a major threat; however, everyone, especially travelers, should be aware of how the disease is transmitted and what can be done to prevent it.

Extractions: The 1849 St. Louis cholera epidemic claimed 4,557 lives out of a population of 63,000. This is a death rate equivalent to 72 out of every thousand people. Cholera was rampant in many U.S. cities at the time, but the large cities of New York, Chicago, New Orleans and Cincinnati had smaller death rates of 11, 24, 30 and 39 respectively. Victims of the water-borne disease usually died within 24 hours of their diagnosis from severe diarrhea, vomiting and rapid dehydration. In the mid-nineteenth century, before bacteria were known to be the cause, two principal theories of disease transmission were prevalent. The contagion theory said illness was aquired through close contacts whereas the miasmic theory stated gaseous airborne poisons, vapors and fumes from decomposing organic matter caused illness. Traditional protections were quarantined isolation and general cleanliness and sanitation.

Cholera
cholera. Definition Alternative Names V. cholerae; Vibrio. Causes, incidence, andrisk factors cholera is an acute illness characterized by watery diarrhea.
http://www.healthscout.com/ency/article/000303.htm

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Cholera is an acute illness characterized by watery diarrhea . The toxin released by the bacteria causes increased secretion of water and chloride ions in the intestine, which can produce massive diarrhea. Death can result from the severe dehydration brought on by the diarrhea. Cholera occurs in epidemics when conditions of poor sanitation, crowding, war, and famine are present. Endemic areas include India, Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean, and more recently, South and Central America, and Mexico. The infection is acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water. A type of Vibrio bacteria also has been associated with shellfish , especially raw oysters. Risk factors include residence or travel in endemic areas and exposure to contaminated or untreated drinking water.

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/pphb-dgspsp/publicat/ccdr-rmtc/98vol24/24sup/acs5.html

Extractions: Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) STATEMENT ON ORAL CHOLERA VACCINATION Introduction Infection with Vibrio cholerae, a toxin-producing bacteria, presents clinically as profuse watery diarrhea. If untreated, severe fluid loss can lead to rapid dehydration, cardiovascular system collapse, and kidney failure. The spectrum of illness is wide, with both mild and asymptomatic cases occurring more frequently than severe disease. Two serogroups, O1 and O139 (Bengal) have been implicated in human epidemics. Within the serogroup O1 are the classical and El Tor biotypes. Cholera infection is associated with poor sanitation, often due to inadequate sewage and water treatment facilities in non-industrial countries. Infection is generally acquired from contaminated water or food, particularly undercooked or raw shellfish and fish. In 1997, no cases of cholera were reported in Canada. In 1996, four cases were reported. These were all related to foreign travel and did not result in any secondary spread. For the traveller, emphasis must be placed on personal hygiene, and food and water precautions; these measures appear to be the most effective protection against cholera.
