This Bundle Includes:
- Gangrene
- Although gangrene may sound like a hazard of jungle exploits and military campaigns, the gruesome decay and death of soft body tissue that characterizes the condition can happen to anyone anywhere. - Malaria
- Malaria (Italian for "bad air") is the work of the Plasmodium parasite and the Anopheles mosquito. When the mosquito stings an infected person, parasites are absorbed as it draws up blood. Only the females are bloodsuckers. - West Nile
- West Nile is a mosquito-borne illness primarily found in Africa, West Asia, and the Middle East. While West Nile outbreaks regularly attract a flood of media attention, about 80% of infected people experience no symptoms at all. - Dengue Fever
- Dengue fever is a tropical disease endemic to more than 100 countries. Up to a 100 million people are infected each year. The origin of the name Dengue is unknown, but is thought to derive from the Swahili "ka-dinga pepo" (or "disease of the devil") corrupted to the Spanish word "dengue" which described the "fastidious" gait exhibited by sufferers as they walk. - Zombie Virus
- Scientists named this virus Pithovirus sibericum because its shape resembled the ancient Greek wine jars called "pithos." On the microscopic scale, the viruses are absolutely enormous. Over a micrometer in size, they are as large as many bacteria, even larger than some of the smallest known free-living eukaryotic cells.
