Skin-Disfiguring Parasite That Plagues Middle East, Latin America and Asia Now Detected in US, CDC Warns

GP:
A skin-disfiguring parasite has landed in America.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a parasite known as Leishmania may already be endemic in Texas and other southern states, CBS News reported.

The parasite, which is transmitted through the bites of infected female sandflies, causes a disease known as leishmaniasis, resulting in skin sores that develop weeks after the bite has occurred.

Cases of leishmaniasis typically affect individuals who have traveled abroad to tropical or subtropical regions.

However, the CDC has recently discovered 86 Leishmania cases from individuals who have no recent travel history outside America, NBC News reported.

  1. …just so yah know, Coof had a real familiar predecessor from there as well…

    “Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, is a viral illness that causes severe lung infection. The disease was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and as of 2018 had only been diagnosed twice in the United States. In 2015, an outbreak affected 180 people in the Republic of Korea when the infection came in from Saudi Arabia. Overall, more than 20 countries worldwide have reported cases of MERS.

    Key Facts
    The MERS virus causes flu-like symptoms, with most patients developing pneumonia as a secondary infection.
    MERS is caused by a virus in the coronavirus family, and the syndrome is also called MERS-Coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
    MERS is passed primarily to people from infected camels. It can sometimes spread between people who are in close, unprotected contact.
    Most cases have been found in Saudi Arabia, where the virus originated. Outbreaks in other countries have been traced back to infected individuals returning from travel to the Middle East.
    Around one-third of patients diagnosed with MERS have died, according to the CDC.”

    …enjoy the diversity, it is our strength, after all…/s
