A Look At Immunizations By Age FILE - A nurse holds out a tray of immunization's at the city of Newark's "School Bus Express" free immunization program for Newark youth on August 28, 2013 in Newark, New Jersey. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images) WASHINGTON - Starting at birth, U.S. Children are recommended to get vaccinations to protect against diseases on a schedule set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The immunization schedule protects against 14 potentially serious diseases before a child's second birthday, based on how their immune system responds to vaccines at various ages, and how likely a baby is to be exposed to a particular disease.  Who sets the vaccination schedule? The CDC publishes written recommendations for vaccinating U.S. Children and adults to protect against vaccine-prevent...

spanish flu epidemic history :: Article Creator Inside The Swift, Deadly History Of The Spanish Flu Pandemic Scientist Johan Hultin traveled to Brevig Mission, Alaska, a town of a few hundred souls in the summer of 1997. He was searching for buried bodies, and Alaska's frozen ground was the perfect place to find them. Digging through the permafrost—with permission from the town's authorities—he eventually uncovered a woman who died almost 80 years previously and was in a state of excellent preservation. Hultin then extracted samples of the woman's lung before reinterring her. He intended to use this to decode the genetic sequence of the virus that had killed this Inuit woman along with 90 percent of the town's population. Brevig Mission was just one place that was part of a global tragedy, one of the worst ever to befall humanity: the influenza pandemic of 1918-19. The outbreak of this influenza virus, also known as Spanish flu, ...

aedes mosquito causes malaria :: Article Creator Aedes Agypti Mosquito's Immune System Revealed The immune system of this mosquito is of great importance as scientists believe it plays a key role in controlling the transmission of viruses that cause yellow and dengue fevers – diseases that infect over 50 million people worldwide every year.The genes that make up the immune system of the Aedes aegypti mosquito which transmits deadly viral diseases to humans have been identified. This study is the first of its kind on the newly-sequenced genome of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is also published in this week's Science. The researchers identified over 350 genes which are involved in the Aedes mosquito's immune system, and discovered that they evolve much faster than the rest of the genes in the genome. Identifying which of these key genes are implicated in the transmission of viral diseases is an area of future research that could ...

anemia falciforme malaria :: Article Creator A Mutation Story: A gene known as HbS was the center of a medical and evolutionary detective story that began in the middle 1940s in Africa. Doctors noticed that patients who had sickle cell anemia, a serious hereditary blood disease, were more likely to survive malaria, a disease which kills some 1.2 million people every year. What was puzzling was why sickle cell anemia was so prevalent in some African populations. How could a "bad" gene -- the mutation that causes the sometimes lethal sickle cell disease -- also be beneficial? On the other hand, if it didn't provide some survival advantage, why had the sickle gene persisted in such a high frequency in the populations that had it? The sickle cell mutation is a like a typographical error in the DNA code of the gene that tells the body how to make a form of hemoglobin (Hb), the oxygen-carrying molecule in our blood. Every person has two copi...
