INTRODUCTION: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is viral in origin called "Neethling virus" belongs to a family of Poxviridae which includes pox virus for both sheep and goat (sheep pox virus and goat pox virus), and it is infectious and eruptive disease the insects play important role as a vector by biting specially within wet summer and autumn months. All cattle breed susceptible to infected and there is no evidence or study present that a specific age or breed of cattle are more than others to exposed to infection, generally; younger are more severely affected. Spreading of the infection may occur less commonly by direct contact through saliva, skin lesions, milk, semen, or nasal discharge of infected animals. Typically, nodules or lumps on the
Dermatofibromas (also known as Fibrous histiocytoma and Fibroma simplex, Nodular subepidermal fibrosis, Sclerosing hemangioma), are common noncancerous (benign) small skin growths. Dermatofibromas are typically detected on the arms and legs. Other common areas are located on breast, face and hands. This growth is usually a benign, single structure that resembles a nipple. Its appearance can be discolored and contains hard, scar-like tissue. A minor injury such as an insect bite, puncture or most recently discovered arsenic, can result in the formation of a dermatofibroma. These growths or nodes only can be found on humans and have not been reported or found other animals. It is estimated that only 1:10 women

In the article “Skin Pathology in the Cretaceous: Evidence for Probable Failed Predation in a Dinosaur” written by Brice M. Rothschild and Robert Depalma, they report their findings on the observation of the skin of a duck billed dinosaur regarding its’ scaled pattern and forming of scar tissue (Rothschild and Depalma 2013). Rothschild and Depalma introduce the issue of dinosaur skin pathology through the finding of damaged dinosaur skin through Lingham-Soliar ‘s (2008) report on the damaged skin and bite impression of the Psittacosaurus skin, which did not heal from the bite; indicating that the Psittacosaurus had died from either a scavenger or a predator (Rothschild and Depalma 2013). However Rothschild and Depalma (2013) focus their research
Lyme disease is an infection produced by bacteria called Borrelia Burgdorferi. This bacteria or germ is ordinarily found in shrews, deer, mice, and squirrels. Ixodes bugs, normally called deer ticks, often feed on the blood from an infected animal. When this happens, the tick then becomes a carrier of the bacteria that causes Lyme disease and can infect you with this germ through your skin. Infected deer ticks are normally found in the northeast and upper Midwest United States because of the climate and humidity levels, and become more active in the late spring and early summer months after the birth of new larvae. Lyme disease is known to cause a skin rash called erythema migrans and can leave you problems with your joints, brain, heart, and nerves. The
One of our bucket calves this year caught pink eye. Pinkeye is a very painful virus any type of animal can catch, including humans. Pinkeye is caused by a bacteria that infects the surface of the eye. A problem with M. Bovis is that it can spread easily and rapidly. It is difficult to control the pink eye virus because of face flies. Face Flies are flies that spread M. Bovis. The flies are attracted to the tearing that is produced by the infected eye. The fly then picks up the virus and can transfer it to other animals. The flies can infect a whole herd of cattle in a day, so it is best to treat the virus as quickly as possible. Because we have two calves in one barn, we had to treat the virus immediately.
treatments: Medicines (creams), Medicines that you take by mouth, A treatment using ultraviolet A (UVA) light (PUVA) and extracting the infected area surgically.
Cancer is usually a terrifying word. Those who have never received a diagnosis of cancer, likely cannot fathom the anxiety such an event produces. Even forms of cancer that are highly treatable often bring about significant and immediate life changes for patients. Hopefully, the ideas from this article can help to demystify cancer, and make it somewhat easier to cope with the disease and its effects.
Skin cells that lose the ability to grow and divide are called skin cancer. Another name for skin cancer is neoplasia. Skin cancer begins on the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis and is the most common form of cancer in humans. All skin cancers are important but the most commonly seem is the basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma. These skin cancers happens when the skin starts to grows abnormal skin cells and form a mass called a skin tumor. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous are the most common skin cancer and they are referred to as nonmelanoma cancer. The least dangerous skin cancer of the three is the basal cell carcinoma. The most dangerous skin cancer of the three is melanoma because it spreads quickly to
Main purpose of cellulitis treatment process is reduction of severity cellulitis infection, fast recovery, pain relieve, cure affected skin and prevention of recurrence - definition of treatment for cellulitis. In most cases healing process contains treatment with antibiotics drugs. Antibiotics are used orally or intravenous depending of severity of affected skin area. Period for using oral antibiotics (by mouth) is 10 to 14 days. In this period is crucial to take every single pill that doctor has prescribed, even later when you begin feel better .Treatment for cellulitis with intravenously antibiotics (IV) is recommended when we have more serious infection,in most cases lasts 3 to 5 days.
Skin cancer is a very real and common health problem for Australians, with 2 in 3 developing this deadly disease by the age of 70 (Lynch, 2006). “Due to the Australian climate and lifestyle, as well as a predominantly fair skinned population, skin cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in Australia,” (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2000). For the most effective prevention against skin cancer, it is recommended that a combination of sun safety measures are met; slip, slop, slap, seek, slide (Slip on sun protective clothing, slop on water resistant SPF30+ sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade, slide on sunglasses), (Preventing Skin Cancer, 2017). By simply reducing recreational sun exposure, the risk of developing melanoma –
Skin cancer is an abnormal growth of cells, and there are three main types of skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and lastly malignant melanoma, the one that we are going to focus on. While it is not the most common type of skin cancer, that is basal cell carcinoma, it is the most dangerous/deadly.
