Introduction

African sleeping sickness is also called as Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT). This disease is fatal if left untreated and is endemic to Africa. HAT is caused by two sub species of the infectious protozoan Trypanosoma brucei. Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (T.b.g) infections are prevalent in western and central Africa, while T.b rhodesiense (T.b.r) infections are common in eastern and southern Africa. The disease spread by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.). The disease gets its name from one of the major characteristic symptoms of HAT: disruption of sleep cycle. The patient experiences uncontrollable urge to sleep during the day followed by ...

The regeneration of nerves throughout the human body has been a subject of much interest in biology recently. The unique characteristics of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) provide insights into the mechanisms occurring after once damage occurs. A good understanding of tThe differences between these mechanisms also may lead to new therapies for nerve-damaged patients, including stroke patients. Following injury, the nerves in the CNS of an adult mammal will not regenerate, while the PNS will. These differences appear in every stage of axon regeneration.
Within hours of axotomy, the PNS begins ...

Introduction

The Ebola virus has existed for centuries. Like all life forms and viruses, it has been changing and adapting since the beginning of time to survive. Despite this the disease did not make itself known until the twentieth century. However, once the virus revealed itself only three major outbreaks have occurred. There were two in 1976 and one which took started in 2014 (CDC, 2015). The latest outbreak has been the longest and worst, effecting numerous countries such as, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia and Senegal in West Africa (CDC, 2015). This paper will look at the scientific aspects of the ...

Marburg Virus

Introduction
Marburg virus refers to virus of the genus marbugvirus. The virus usually causes the Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever. The virus is said to have originated from Africa and specifically Central and East Africa. The virus got its name from the place where the first outbreak was discovered, Marburg in German. The virus infects both human beings and other animals, especially nonhuman primates.
The virus usually lives in the animals hosts, and human being can easily contact the virus from the animals. After the initial transmission of the virus to human beings, the virus can be transmitted among ...

1.0 Introduction

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neural degenerative condition involving the progressive degeneration of the myelin sheath (the protecting cover to the nerve fibres (axons)) around the nerve cell leading to a break down in transmission of nerve impulses. The impairment of the transmission results in loss of the body’s ability to control and coordinate muscle movement. The disease progresses through a complex and diverse symptoms making it challenging to diagnose, treat and manage. The symptoms of MS may range from gentle to severe weakness, impaired body movement, lack of ordered senses, uncontrolled bowel and bladder, damaged cognition, impaired vision and a variety ...
