could pass it to their children. Additionally, Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disabilities and the most common known cause of autism. Tests For Fragile X A diagnosis of Fragile X is made through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis that determines the actual number of “CGG repeats” that are present in the FMR1 gene. PCR is quite accurate in determining premutation and normal gene repeat numbers. Also, there is the Southern blot analysis test that determines

Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals such as chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest. Ebola then spreads

Communicable disease is defined as “an infectious disease transmissible (as from person to person) by direct contact with an affected individual or the individual’s discharges or by indirect means (as by a vector) (Merriam-Webster, 2015).” Chickenpox is considered a common childhood illness and is usually seen in children that are younger than 10 years of age. “Varicella is an acute infectious disease caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). The recurrent infection (herpes zoster, also

Over the last several years, Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has presented a more serious and diverse problem across the world. Although it was not a big concern in the United States until the early 1990’s, CRE is becoming more dangerous as the days go by due to susceptibility (Gupta et al, 2011). CRE is a group of multiple bacterium that is very difficult to treat due to the high resistance to several antibiotics, which has earned them the name “Killer bacteria” or “Nightmare bacteria”

replication process will occur. The entering virus travels from the cytoplasm of the epithelial cell towards the nucleus of the cell. The main purpose here is for the virus to release the RNA gene segments by unraveling for further replication with polymerase chemicals acting as the catalyst for duplication. Once hundreds upon thousands of gene segments are replicated using the epithelial cells own energy the duplicated RNA gene segments make their way from the nucleus back out to the cytoplasm. The

exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as heat, direct sunlight, and water that can break down the chemical structure of DNA. This type of exposure damages DNA by randomly breaking the molecules into smaller pieces. Inhibitors of the polymerase chain reaction can also interfere with the ability to recover a full DNA profile from biological evidence (Forensic DNA, 2014). Current technology is being researched and developed to recover information from smaller regions of DNA, which are more likely

Potomac horse fever (PHF) is an acute but potentially fatal febrile, meaning fever, enterocolitis illness caused by the bacterium Neorickettsia risticii previously named Ehrlichia risticii, causing colic, fever, and diarrhea in endemic parts of the United States. Potomac horse fever is the common name for many different varieties this illness was given, for example, equine monocytic erhlichiosis and equine erhlichial colitis. It was first discovered in 1979 and named after the Potomac River Valley
