Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system in humans and other mammals. It is transmitted most commonly via bites or scratches from rabid animal hosts such as dogs, bats, and wild carnivores. The virus causes acute inflammation of the brain and is almost always fatal once symptoms develop. There is no cure for human rabies, making prevention through vaccination of animal hosts and timely treatment of exposures critical for control of the disease.
The document summarizes information about Ebola virus disease (EVD), including its history, transmission, symptoms, treatment and prevention. It notes that EVD is a severe and often fatal disease in humans and non-human primates. The largest outbreak to date is the ongoing 2014 outbreak in West Africa. Fruit bats are considered the natural host of the virus. Transmission occurs through contact with bodily fluids of infected humans or animals. Symptoms include fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and some patients experience bleeding. There is no approved vaccine or treatment, so care is supportive. Prevention relies on avoiding contact with infected individuals and properly disinfecting environments.
1. Vector-borne diseases are transmitted by arthropods like mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and mites or other living carriers like snails. Common vector-borne diseases include malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and lymphatic filariasis.
2. Lymphatic filariasis is caused by infection with nematode worms transmitted via mosquito bites. It causes swelling in the limbs and genitals.
3. Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania transmitted by the bite of infected sand flies. It includes visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous forms.

Zoonotic infections are diseases that can spread from animals to humans. Over 60% of infectious diseases in humans are zoonotic. Transmission can occur through direct contact with infected animals, indirect contact, vectors like ticks and mosquitoes, or contaminated food. Common zoonotic diseases include anthrax, bovine tuberculosis, salmonellosis, E. coli, rabies, avian influenza, and prion diseases. Bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and prions can all cause zoonotic diseases. Proper hygiene and food handling can help prevent transmission of zoonotic infections.
This document provides an overview of zoonotic tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium bovis and can be transmitted from animals to humans. Key points include:
- M. bovis is one of the main causes of non-pulmonary tuberculosis in humans. It is transmitted through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy or undercooked meat.
- Globally, it is estimated that there are 147,000 new cases of zoonotic tuberculosis annually, with the highest burdens in Africa and Southeast Asia.
- In animals, cattle are the main reservoir and transmission can occur through aerosols or ingestion. Signs include emaciation, fever, and respiratory distress.
Smallpox was declared eradicated globally in 1980 by the WHO. It was caused by the variola virus and was highly contagious and often fatal without vaccination. Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine in 1796 by inoculating people with cowpox, conferring cross-immunity. Mass vaccination campaigns using vaccinia virus led to smallpox eradication. The last known natural case was in Somalia in 1977.
Yersinia are gram-negative rods that can cause human disease. The document discusses Yersinia pestis, which causes plague, and Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis, which cause human diarrheal diseases. Y. pestis is transmitted by fleas and causes a fatal infection if not treated with antibiotics like streptomycin. Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis are transmitted through contaminated food or water and commonly cause self-limiting gastrointestinal infections but can occasionally spread systemically and cause more serious infections.
Plague, also known as the black death, is a serious bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria usually transmitted through flea bites. There are three main types - bubonic plague causes swollen lymph nodes, pneumonic plague affects the lungs and can spread through coughing, and septicemic plague infects the bloodstream. Treatment involves antibiotics but plague was historically very deadly, causing pandemics in 541 AD, 1334 AD, and 1894. Risk can be reduced by controlling rodents and fleas and using insect repellent when outdoors.
This document provides an overview of avian influenza, including its history, types, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, vaccination, and prevention/control. Some key points include:
- Avian influenza was first recorded in Italy in 1878 and there have been several global pandemics, including the deadly 1918 Spanish Flu.
- It is caused by influenza A viruses that can infect multiple species like birds, pigs, and humans. The H5N1, H7N9, and H9N2 subtypes pose the greatest risk to humans.
- Humans usually get infected through direct contact with infected birds or contaminated environments. Signs can range from mild to severe pneumonia and
Rabies virus is a bullet-shaped RNA virus belonging to the family Rhabdoviridae. It causes rabies, a fatal disease transmitted through the bites of infected animals like dogs, foxes, and bats. The virus enters through wounds or bites and travels through nerves to the brain and spinal cord, causing encephalitis. There are two forms of rabies - furious rabies with symptoms like anxiety and hydrophobia, and dumb rabies characterized by paralysis. Diagnosis involves detecting the virus in samples or Negri bodies in tissue. Post-exposure prophylaxis includes wound cleaning, rabies immunoglobulin, and vaccination to prevent infection. Modern non-neural vaccines like cell culture vaccines are now used instead of
This document provides information on Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite that can infect humans and cause the disease toxoplasmosis. It discusses the introduction, taxonomy, structure/morphology, life cycle, epidemiology/transmission, clinical significance/pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of T. gondii. Key points include that T. gondii has three stages in its life cycle (tachyzoite, bradyzoite, sporozoite), cats are the definitive host, and infection is often asymptomatic but can cause severe disease in immunocompromised or congenitally infected individuals. Diagnosis involves serologic tests or direct detection of the parasite, and treatment focuses on drugs that target
Rickettsial diseases are difficult to diagnose clinically and often go unrecognized, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. They are caused by intracellular bacteria from the Rickettsia genus that are typically spread by arthropod vectors like ticks, fleas and mites. Some of the most common rickettsial diseases found in India include scrub typhus, murine typhus, Indian tick typhus and Q fever. Diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion combined with serology. Treatment involves doxycycline. Prevention focuses on vector control and improving hygiene.
This document provides an overview of rabies, including its epidemiology, clinical manifestations, classification of animal bites, prevention, and control programs. Rabies is a fatal viral infection transmitted through animal bites that is preventable through vaccination. It remains a public health problem worldwide, with tens of thousands of deaths annually, primarily in Asia and Africa. Dogs are the main reservoir and source of human infections. Post-exposure prophylaxis including wound cleansing and vaccination is effective but must be administered promptly after exposure to prevent onset of symptoms.
This document discusses concepts related to disease transmission and reservoirs. It defines key terms like agent, source, reservoir, and carrier. A reservoir is where an infectious agent lives and reproduces to survive, and can be transmitted to a susceptible host. Reservoirs can be human, animal, or non-living. Human reservoirs include cases (clinical, subclinical, latent) and carriers (incubatory, convalescent, healthy; temporary or chronic). Animal reservoirs transmit zoonotic diseases to humans.
Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases transmitted between animals and humans. This document discusses several bacterial, parasitic, protozoan, fungal, and viral zoonotic diseases including brucellosis, plague, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis, rabies, tularemia, and psittacosis. It provides details on the causative agents, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases.
Zoonoses are diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. Over 60% of known infectious pathogens are zoonotic. Emerging zoonoses pose serious health risks and their incidence is increasing. Zoonoses have diverse causative agents including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and parasites. Transmission can occur through direct or indirect contact with infected animals or carriers. High-risk groups include those with weak immune systems. Common zoonoses include rabies, anthrax, cat scratch disease, and infections from animal bites. Proper hygiene and protective measures are important for prevention and control of zoonotic diseases.

Brucellosis is caused by Brucella bacteria and is transmitted from infected animals to humans through direct contact, foodborne transmission, or inhalation. It causes symptoms like fever, joint pain, and headaches. Diagnosis involves serological tests and treatment consists of antibiotics. Prevention includes vaccination of animals and pasteurization of milk.
Plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is usually transmitted via flea bites. There are three forms: bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic. Bubonic plague presents with swollen lymph nodes while pneumonic can be spread from person to
Yellow fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes that primarily affects monkeys and humans in tropical areas of Africa and South America. It causes fever, jaundice, and can lead to severe liver and kidney damage. There are three main transmission cycles: a sylvatic cycle between monkeys and wild mosquitoes in forests; an intermediate cycle between monkeys, humans and semi-domestic mosquitoes near forests; and an urban cycle between humans and the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The virus is controlled through vaccination programs and mosquito control measures like larval source reduction and insecticide spraying. International travel regulations require a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry into affected areas.

It has caused several pandemics throughout history that have killed millions. The document discusses the three main plague pandemics, symptoms and forms of plague, transmission between animals and humans, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention including vaccination and controlling rodent and flea populations.
Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease caused by the Brucella genus. It is a major public health problem in Nepal, where it is commonly transmitted from infected animals like cattle, sheep, and goats to humans through the ingestion of raw milk or close contact. Symptoms in humans include fever, joint pain, and weakness. Prevention focuses on vaccination programs for animals and pasteurization of milk, while treatment involves prolonged antibiotic therapy.
This document discusses zoonotic diseases and focuses on rabies. It states that rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals like dogs, bats, and other wildlife. It causes fatal inflammation of the brain and is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear. The virus has an incubation period of 2-8 weeks. Early symptoms are pain or tingling at the bite site. Later symptoms involve neurological dysfunction like anxiety, confusion and paralysis. Diagnosis involves clinical observation and lab tests. Treatment focuses on wound cleaning, rabies immunoglobulin, and rabies vaccines. Control involves vaccination of pets, limiting contact with wildlife, and proper handling of animals.
This document discusses zoonotic diseases and focuses on rabies. It states that rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals like dogs, bats, and other wildlife. It can be transmitted to humans through bites or scratches. Symptoms start with pain and tingling at the bite site then progress to neurological symptoms like anxiety, confusion and eventually paralysis. Diagnosis involves clinical signs, antigen detection or virus isolation. Treatment involves wound cleaning, rabies immunoglobulin, and rabies vaccines. Risk groups include animal handlers. Control involves vaccination of pets, limiting wildlife contact, and proper animal handling.
Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella bacteria and is a major cause of foodborne illness worldwide. There are over 2,500 serotypes of Salmonella but less than 100 cause infections in humans. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi cause enteric fever, resulting in systemic illness with symptoms like sustained fever. Nontyphoidal Salmonella generally cause self-limiting gastroenteritis. Diagnosis is made by isolating the bacteria from stool culture. Treatment involves rehydration and sometimes antibiotics. Prevention relies on safe food/water handling and hygiene practices.
Plague is a bacterial disease caused by Yersinia pestis that primarily affects rodents. It can be transmitted to humans via flea bites. In humans, it typically manifests as bubonic, septicemic, or pneumonic plague depending on how the bacteria enter the body. Bubonic plague causes swollen lymph nodes, while pneumonic plague is a severe form that causes pneumonia and can spread from person to person. Treatment involves antibiotics such as streptomycin or gentamicin. Prevention focuses on flea control and avoiding contact with infected animals.

This document discusses three types of parasitic zoonoses: Taeniasis, Hydatid disease, and Leishmaniasis.
Taeniasis is caused by the tapeworms Taenia saginata and Taenia solium found in beef and pork respectively. Humans can be infected by eating undercooked meat containing the larvae. Hydatid disease is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus found in dogs. The larvae form cysts in humans that can cause serious health issues. Leishmaniasis is transmitted by sandfly bites and affects the skin or internal organs. It is caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania and is endemic in many tropical and subt
Congo fever is a viral disease transmitted by ticks that infects both wild and domestic animals. Humans can contract the disease through tick bites or contact with infected animal blood and tissues. The virus is found worldwide but is most common in Africa, Asia, and Europe. It has an incubation period of 5-6 days and symptoms are often severe, resulting in death in 10-40% of cases. There is no vaccine currently available for humans. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, and the antiviral drug ribavirin may provide some benefit. Prevention involves avoiding tick bites and contact with infected animal blood and bodily fluids.
This document summarizes information about bovine tuberculosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis. It primarily affects cattle but can infect many other species. Humans can contract it through ingesting unpasteurized dairy or inhaling infected aerosols. Control relies on test and slaughter programs along with pasteurization. Outbreaks in wildlife pose challenges. While treatable in humans, it remains an occupational hazard for farmers and abattoir workers in areas where bovine tuberculosis is endemic.

Fexofenadine is sold under the brand name Allegra.
It is a selective peripheral H1 blocker. It is classified as a second-generation antihistamine because it is less able to pass the blood–brain barrier and causes lesser sedation, as compared to first-generation antihistamines.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Fexofenadine has been manufactured in generic form since 2011.
Phosphorus, is intensely sensitive to ‘other worlds’ and lacks the personal boundaries at every level. A Phosphorus personality is susceptible to all external impressions; light, sound, odour, touch, electrical changes, etc. Just like a match, he is easily excitable, anxious, fears being alone at twilight, ghosts, about future. Desires sympathy and has the tendency to kiss everyone who comes near him. An insane person with the exaggerated idea of one’s own importance.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
2. BRUCELLOSIS
• It is one of the major bacterial zoonotic disease
and in humans is also known as undulent fever
,malta fever or mediterranean fever.
• it is caused by different species of brucella group
of organisms
• It is characterized by: enlarged spleen
arthritis
irregular febrile attacks
with profuse sweating
• The disease may last for several days,months or
years
2
3. • Brucellosis is a recognised public health problem
with worldwide distribution.
• It is endemic wherever cattle,pigs,goats and
sheep are raised in large numbers.
• Important endemic area for brucellosis exist in
Mediterranean zones,europe,central asia,mexico
and south America.
• Animal brucellosis is reported from practically
every state in india.
• And human brucellosis is difficult to estimate
3
4. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS
AGENT FACTORS
1. AGENT: the agents are small,gram negative
rod shaped,non-motile,non-sporing and
intracellular coccobacilli of the genous
Brucella.
Four species infect man:
(a) B.melitensis : most virulent and invasive
species; usually infects goats
and sheeps.
4
5. (b) B.abortus: less virulent and is primarly
(c) B.suis: intermediate virulent and chiefly
(d) B.canis:is a parasite of dogs.
2. RESERVOIR OF INFECTION
The reservoir for human infection are:-
cattle,goats,swine,buffaloes,horses and
dogs.
5
disease of cattle.
infects pigs.
6. • The infected animal excrete Brucella in
urine,milk,placenta,uterine and vaginal
discharges.
HOST FACTORS:-
• Human brucellosis is predominantly a disease
of adult male.
• People at high risk are-
farmers,butchers,shephards ,abattoir workers
and lab workers , due to occupational
exposure
6
7. • ENVOIRMENTAL FACTORS
Conditions favouring the spread of brucellosis are:
Absence of standards of hygiene
Overcrowding of herds
Lack of exposure to sunlight
Unhygienic practices in milk and meat
production
INCUBATION PERIOD
Highly variable,usually 1-3 weeks,but may last for
6 months or more.
7
8. Transmission
8
ROUTES OF TRANSMISSION
• Oral : unpasteurised milk & products, raw milk or
meat
• Respiratory: lab workers.
• Skin: accidental penetration or abrasion
– - at risk farmers & veterinarians.
• Other routes:
Conjunctival, Blood transfusion, Transplacental,
person to person.
11. PATTERN OF DISEASE
• It may vary from an acute febrile disease to a chronic low
grade disease.
• The acute phase is characterized by:
pyrexia(up to 40-41deg c)
rigors and sweating
arthritis/arthralgia involving larger
joints.
low back pain
headache
insomnia
spleenomegaly and hepatomegaly
leucopenia
If patient is treated with tetracycline,the symptoms may
disappear quickly ,but infection ,being intracellular,may
persist giving rise to subacute or relapsing disease. 11
13. CONTROL OF BRUCELLOSIS• IN THE ANIMALS
The most rational approach for preventing human brucellosis is control and
eradication of the infection from animal reservoirs which is based on
combination of the following measures:
(a)TEST AND SLAUGHTER: case finding done by mass survey. Skin test are
available. The complement fixation test is recommended.
Those animals infected with brucellosis are slaughtered with full compensation
paid to farmers.
This is the only satisfactory solution aimed at eradication of the disease.
(b)VACCINATION: vaccine of B.abortus strain 19 is commonly used for young
animals. a compulsory vaccination programme is given on yearly basis to
reduce rate of infection.
Systemic vaccination of period of 7-10 years may result in elimination of the
disease
(c) HYGIENIC MEASURES: these comprise provision of clean sanitary
envoirnment for animals sanitary disposal of urine and faeces and health
eduction of all those who are occupationaly involved
13
14. • IN THE HUMANS
(a) EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT:
in uncomplicated case the antibiotic of choice is tetracycline .
For adults in the acute stage ,the dose is 500g every 6 hours for
3 weeks.
In patients with skeletal or other complication , intramuscular
streptomycin 1g daily in addition to tetracycline usually
achieves a cure.
(b) PASTEURIZATION OF MILK
(c) PROTECTIVE MEASURES-prevent direct contact with infected
animals.
persons at risk should observe high standards of personal
hygiene.
They should wear protective clothing when handling
carcasses.
Exposed areas of skin should be washed and soiled clothing
renewed
14
15. (d)VACCINATION : human live vaccine of B.abortus strain
19-BA is available.
BRUCELLOSIS WOULD DISAPPEAR IF IT WERE ERADICATED
FROM ANIMALS.
The national and international centre for brucellosis is
located at FAO/WHO Brucella reference centre, Indian
veterinary research institute ,Izatnagar,(Uttar Pradesh).15
16. HUMAN
SALMONELLOSIS
• The term ‘salmonellosis’ covers a complex
group of food borne infections affecting both
man and animals. The disease causes illness
and even death in humans as well as
economic losses in the animal and food
industries. The term ‘food poisoning’ is
commonly applied to salmonellosis.
17. PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Salmonellosis is a global problem. Human
salmonellosis represents 60 to 80% of all
reported cases of food borne diseases.
• While the incidence of typhoid fever has
declined, the incidence of other salmonella
infections has increased in the developed
countries. The problem is aggrevated by the
widespread use of animal feeds containing
antimicrobial drugs that favour drug-resistant
salmonellae and their potential transmission to
humans.
18. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS
AGENT FACTORS
AGENT:- Salmonellae comprises a large and
important group of bacteria. This group is now
known to comprise more than 2,500 serotypes
capable of infecting humans.
Compared with other gram-negative rods,
salmonellae are relatively resistant to various
environmental factors. They have been shown to
be resistant to drying, salting, smoking and
freezing even for years.
19. Cont..
• As a result, salmonellae have been isolated
from divergent foods such as chocolates,
biscuits, coconuts and spices. The bacterium is
sensitive to heat and will survive temperatures
above 70 degree centigrade.
20. Cont..
• From an epidemiological point of view,
salmonellae can be classified into three main
groups:-
(i) Those which infect only man- e.g S. typhi, S.
paratyphi A and C.
(ii) Those are host- S. cholera-suis , S. Dublin.
(iii) Those infect both man and animals- S.
typhimurium, S. Enteriditis.
20
21. Cont..
RESERVOIR AND SOURCE OF INFECTION:-
(a) FOODS
Foods of animal origin, particularly commercially prepared
foods such as meat, poultry and egg products are
considered to be primary sources of salmonellosis.
(b) ANIMALS
Animals are the hosts and the principal vectors of zoonotic
salmonellosis. E.g cattle, swine, rodents etc.
(c) ENVIRONMENT
Salmonellae are widely distributed in the environment in
dust, water, manure, sewage, sludge, vegetables, insects,
birds, fish, rodents and other mammals.
22. MODE OF TRANSMISSION
• By ingestion of contaminated food and drink,
direct contact with domestic animals
especially such as dogs, pigeons, rats, mice
and insects. Once man is infected, he becomes
a source and the infection may spread to
others by the faecal-oral route.
• INCUBATION PERIOD:- 6 to 72 hours (usually).
24. CLINICAL FEATURES
• Clinically, the disease may be manifest by one of the
three syndromes:
(i) ENTERIC FEVER:- the term ‘enteric fever’ includes
both typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. The disease
may occur sporadically, epidemically or endemically.
(ii) SALMONELLA ENTEROCOLITIS (gastroenteritis) : This
is the most common manifestation of Salmonellae
infection. 6 to 48 hours of ingestion of Salmonellae
there is nausea, headache, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Low grade fever is common. Most infections are mild
with diarrhoea, in severe cases there may be
dehydration.
25. Cont..
(iii) SEPTICAEMIA WITH FOCAL LESION:- Non-
typhoid salmonellae may occasionally invade
the blood stream leading to generalized or
localized infection presenting itself as pyrexia
of unknown origin. Focal infection may result
in osteomyelitis, pyelonephritis, arthritis,
meningitis, cholecystitis and endocarditis.
26. PREVENTON AND CONTROL
• Since salmonellosis is zoonotic in origin,
preventive measures should begin at the farm
and embrace all the elements of the food chain
through live animals, animal products,
processing, final food preparation to
consumption. Approaches indicated at the farm
level are :
(i) Disease control e.g immunization of farm
animals against salmonellosis.
(ii) The use of hygienic animal feed.
(iii) Ensuring a sanitary environment for the animals
27. LEPTOSPIROSIS
Leptospirosis is essentially animal infection by several
serotype of liptospira & transmitted to man under
certain environmental condition.
The disease manifestations are many & varied, ranging
severity from a mild febrile illness to severe &
sometime fatal disease with liver & kidney involvement.
• Leptospirosis is considered to be most widespread of the
disease transmissible from animals to man
• It has high prevalence in warm humid tropical countries.
Out break mostly occur as a result of heavy rain fall.
• The global burden of disease in unknown approx
500,000 cases of leptospirosis are estimated to occur
worldwide every year
28. EPIDEMOLOGICAL DETERMINATION
Agent factor
(a) Agent: leptospira are thin & light motile
spirochetes 0.1-0.2 µm wide & 5-15µm long &
hooked ends. This organisms are visible by dark-
field illumination & silver staining.
(b) Source of infection: leptospira are excreted in
the urine of infections animal for a long time often
for an enter life time in case of rodents.
(c)Animal reservoirs: leptospirosis effects wild
& domestic animal worldwide especially rodents
such as rat ,mice etc. most domestic animal
including cattle ship , goat, water buffallo, pigs &
horse may be infected through pet animal
particularly dogs may also be infected.
29. Host factors
(a)Age: children acquire the infection from
dogs more frequently then do adults.
Human infection is only accidental.
(b)occupation: human infections are
usually due to occupational exposure to the
urine of infected animals e.g.-
Agriculture,livestocks farmers, workers in
rice fields ,sugarcane fields etc.
(c)Immunity: A solid serovar specific
immunity follows infection.
30. Environmental factors
• Leptospirosis infection is unique in that it is acquired
through contact with an environment contaminated by
urine and faeces from carrier animal or other infected
animals.
• Leptospira shed in the urine can survive for wks in soil
and water, so environmental contamination may reach
high levels in areas where carrier animals frequently
urinate.
• The association of poor housing, limited water
supply, inadequate method of water disposal,
all combine to make the disease a significant
risk for the poor population in both urban and
rural areas.
31. Mode of transmission
(a)Direct contact: leptospira can enter the
body through skin abrasions or through
intact mucous membrane by direct contact
with urine or tissue of infected animal.
(b)Indirect contact :through the contact of the
broken skin with soil, water or vegetation
contamination by urine of infected animals
or through ingestion of food or water
contaminated with leptospirosis.
32. (c) Droplet infection: infection may also occur
through inhalation as when milking infected
cows or goats by breathing air polluted with
droplets of urine.
Direct man to man infection is rare.
• Incubation period:
Usually 10 days with a range of 4 to 20
days
33. Diagnosis
• It is not possible to diagnose leptospirosis
with certainty on clinical grounds alone.
Because of the wide spectrum of sign &
symptoms, thee diagnosis is made by isolation
of leptospires from blood during the acute
illness and from urine after the 1 wks.
• Early in the disease the organisms may be
identified by dark fields examination of the
patient’s blood or by culture on a semisolid
medium.
34. • The organism may also be grown from the
urine from 10th day to 6 wks.
• Diagnosis is usually made by means of
serological tests , of which several are
available.
• Agglutination tests & become positive after 7-
8 days of illness and peaks at 3-4 wks & may
persist at high level for many yrs.
• indirect haemagglutination ,
immunoflourescent antibody and ELISA tests
also available .
35. Control
(a) antibiotics: penicillin is the drugs of choice
by other antibiotics(tetracycline &
doxycycline) are also effective
(b) Environmental measures: this includes
preventing exposure to potentially
contaminated water, reducing contamination
by rodent control and protection of workers
in hazardous occupation. Measures should
be taken to control rodents, proper disposal
of wastes & health education etc.
36. vaccination
• Immunization of farmers & pets prevent disease.
In some countries for instance Italy, USSR &
China, where certain occupations carry a high risk
of infections, vaccines are available.
• It is important that they should incorporate stains
of the serotypes that predominant in the
particular area since immunity to one type of
leptospira may not protect against infection by
another.
37. PLAGUE
• Plague is primarily and basically a zoonoses,
caused by Y. pestis, involving rodents and
fleas. It exists in natural foci, and is
transmitted by infected flea bites to human
living or intruding into the same ecological
environment. Plague occurs in many forms-
enzootically, epizootically, sporadically and in
epidemics of all types including anthroponotic
and primary pneumonic forms.
37
38. PROBLEM STATEMENT
• WORLD
Plague is often seen as problem of the past or
an ancient disease that is unlikely to reappear.
But continued outbreaks throughout the
world attest to its tenacious presence.
Although plague is predominantly a rural
disease, there have been outbreaks among
urban population in Madagascar and the
United Republic of Tanzania.
38
39. Cont..
• The data shows that from 2004 to 2009, a
total of 12,503 cases of human plague,
including 843 deaths, were reported by 16
countries in Africa, Asia and America. The
global case-fatality rate was 6.7%.
• In 2004, India reported a localized outbreak of
bubonic plague (8 cases and 3 deaths) in the
Dangud village, District of Uttarkashi.
39
40. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS
(a) AGENT : The causative agent, Y. pestis is a
Gram-negative, non-motile, cocco-bacillus
that exhibits bipolar staining with special
stains ( Wayson’s stain). The bacilli occur in
great abundance in the buboes, blood, spleen,
liver and other viscera of infected persons,
and in the sputum in cases of pneumonic
plague.
40
41. Cont..
(b) RESERVOIR OF INFECTIION : Wild rodents
are the natural reservoirs of plague. These are
found in mountains, deserts, cultivated areas
and forests in temperate and tropical regions.
(c) SOURCE OF INFECTION : Infected rodents
and fleas and case of pneumonic plague.
41
42. Cont..
HOST FACTORS
(a) AGE AND SEX : All ages and both sexes are
susceptible.
(b) HUMAN ACTIVITIES : Man may come into
contact with natural foci in the course of
hunting, grazing, cultivation.
(c) MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE : Plague is associated
with movement of people and cargo by sea or
land. Rats and fleas are transported in this way.
(d) IMMUNITY : Man has no natural immunity.
Immunity after recovery is relative.
42
43. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
(a) SEASON : Plague season starts from September
until May. The disease tends to die out with the
onset of hot weather.
(b) TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY : A mean
temperature of 20 to 25 degree C and a relative
humidity of 60% and above are considered
favourable for the spread of plague.
(c) RAINFALL : Heavy rainfall, especially in the flat
fields tend to flood the rat burrows.
43
44. VECTORS OF PLAGUE
• The commonest and the most efficient vector
of plague is the rat flea, X. cheopis, but other
fleas may also transmit the infection, e.g X.
astia , X. brasiliensis and Pulex irritants
(human flea). Both sexes of the flea bite and
transmit the disease.
44
45. BLOCKED FLEA
• A flea ingest upto 0.5 cu.mm of blood which
may contain as many as 5,000 plague bacilli.
The bacilli multiply enormously in the gut of
the rat flea and may block the proventriculus
so that no food can pass through. Such a flea
is called a ‘blocked flea’.
45
46. FLEA INDICES
(a) TOTAL FLEA INDEX : the average number of fleas
of all species per rat.
(b) CHEOPIS INDEX : the average number of X.
cheopis per rat.
(c) SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE OF FLEAS : the
percentage of different species of fleas that are
found on rats.
(d) BURROW INDEX : the average number of free-
living fleas per species per rodent burrow.
46
47. HUMAN PLAGUE
MODE OF TRANSMISSION : There are atleast 5
basic types of transmission cycles in plague.
1. Commensal rat rat fleas man.
2. Wild rodentswild rodent fleas or direct

48. DISEASE IN MAN
(a) Bubonic plague : most common type of the disease.
The infected rat fleas usually bite on the lower
extremities and inoculate the bacilli. The bacilli are
intercepted by the regional lymphatic glands where
they prolifetare. Incubation period-2 to 7 days.
(b) Pneumonic plague : Primary pneumonic plague is
rare. Pneumonic plague is highly infectious and
spreads from man to man by droplet infection.
Incubation period – 2 to 7 days.
(c) Septicaemic plague : Primary septicaemic plague is
rare except for accidental laboratory infections.
Incubation period- 1 to 3 days.

49. LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS
(a) Staining : it is important to prepare smears of
the clinical materials (e.g. bubo fluid, sputum)
(b) Culture : blood for culture should be collected
from all patients.
(c) Serology : acute and convalescent specimens of
blood sera should be collected for antibody
studies.
(d) Other methods : these include inoculation of
guinea pigs or mice or immunofluorescent
microscopic test.

50. PREVENTION AND CONTROL
1) Control of cases
(a) Early diagnosis- it is essential that plague-suspected
humans and rodents be examined bacteriologically to
confirm the presence of plague.
(b) Notification- If a human or rodent case is diagnosed,
health authorities must be notified promptly.
(c) Isolation- all patients with pneumonic plague should
be isolated.
(d) Treatment- must be started without waiting for
confirmation of the diagnosis.

2) Control of fleas
The most effective method to break the chain
of transmission (rodentfleaman) is the
destruction of rat fleas by the proper
application of an effective insecticide.
3) Control of rodents
Continuous mass destruction of rodents is an
important plague-preventive measure.

5) Chemoprophylaxis
Chemoprophylaxis is a valuable preventive
measure, highly recommended. It should be
offered to all plague contacts, medical,
nursing, and public health personnel exposed
to the risk of infection. The drug of choice is
tetracycline. For adults, the dose is 500 mg 6
hourly for 5 days.
