Traveling abroad is an experience that many people want to share with loved ones – including pets.
Although, a few factors determine whether this kind of travel is even possible. The destination, animal and method of transportation can all affect whether your pet is tagging along on a trip.
If you’re considering bringing along your pet while seeing the world, we have some suggestions to help. Here are some important tips, ranging from legal policies to pet pampering that we hope will be of use.
Cases of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) have dropped in the United Kingdom.
A U.K. government report revealed an 86 percent decrease of the two types of HPV which cause most cases of cervical cancer. Released on June 18, 2018, the report focused on a certain sector of England’s population.
But, this wasn’t the only recent good news for HPV prevention.
After a year and a half of lab work, it was announced in June 2018 that a team from the University of Florida has discovered the first known case of a person infected with the Keystone virus.
Perhaps more startling is the thought from the study’s corresponding author J. Glenn Morris, M.D., M.P.H. Morris stated that the virus has likely been common in people in the Southeast for some time and we just lacked a way to test for it.
Malaria infected approximately 216 million people worldwide in 2016, according to the WHO. That same year, Uganda saw between 70,000 and 100,000 cases of the mosquito-borne disease. Currently, the only way to detect malaria is through a blood test.
At least, until a recent breakthrough from someone who has firsthand experience with those many cases in Uganda.
So, who is the person to invent such a non-invasive device?
There has been an increase in cases of dengue fever, along with many other infectious diseases worldwide.
Over the past 50 years, dengue fever incidence has increased 30-fold, according to Science Direct. Cases spiked to about 390 million recorded in 2010 alone. You can associate the rise in cases with globalization, demographic trends, and travel.
But, as of lately, environmental changes are also contributing. Warming temperatures have been behind the amplified spread of dengue fever.
