- borez, on 04/30/2009, -1/+24If you're taking about disease transmitted by animals ( as in bubonic plague ) then you completely missed out by far the most important one of all... Malaria.
- Hetman, on 04/30/2009, -0/+13I agree. Malaria is still a major threat to the world, mostly 3rd world countries. But I have heard it said that mosquitos have killed more people in a decade than all the wars in the 20th century.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -0/+8You have street people from the 14th century? Where do you live?
- jrathe89, on 04/30/2009, -3/+9GOSH, doesn't everyone know that AID's came from the American government for population control.....i mean...it did just pop out of nowhere...
- hantata, on 04/30/2009, -2/+8Animal witch hunt on the way...
- theholotrope, on 04/30/2009, -1/+7I HAVE INSANE MIND DISEASE!!!
- PowderedToasty, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5Being a ***** makes you attracted to men, not monkeys. Or so I've been told.
- AngelFuck138, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5The Bubonic Plague wasn't caused by rats, it was caused by Fleas.
- MacEnvy, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4True enough, but there were other members of our Genus alive 3 million years ago.
- cubicrystal, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4Good call.
- minnecrapolis, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3They are both on the link at the bottom "10 diseases that have crossed species"
- Hetman, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3It is kind of a difficult situation. Many of those governments are corrupt. So it does not matter how much aid we send them, be it money, food, or medicine. It ends up being horded and sold instead of distributed to the people who need it.
- petebot, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3I thought they still weren't sure that it came from pigs...
I knew there was a reason I hated cats, though: "The bizarre parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects the brains of more than half the human population, including about 50 million Americans. It is thought increase the risk of neuroticism and may contribute to schizophrenia. However, its primary host is house cats. You can get it from cat feces. " - Osirus1156, on 04/30/2009, -4/+7And that's why you don't throw garbage and crap onto the street people from the 14th century.
- minnecrapolis, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2Except for NO.
You CANNOT get HIV from a mosquito. But yeah, keep spreading the misinformation. - minnecrapolis, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2No, but we gave it to Gorillas. It's called Yaws. It's like a non-STD Syphillis.
- riddlemod, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2Futurama taught me not to litter on the past.
- danielorbital, on 04/30/2009, -1/+3damn nature you scary!
- mnfork, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2Agreed that cat business is crazy, half the world population? I have to wonder what it would be like without the insane worm
- Scrappy1850, on 04/30/2009, -1/+3damn, cats suck.
- analogkid01, on 04/30/2009, -1/+3Ehhhh...phrases like "Top Secret recommendations were made to the ruling elite" make me question the credibility of whatever it is I'm reading.
- sharkd, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2The Human HIV/AIDS connection to the animal kingdom lies in its similarity to Simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs).
SIVs, however do not infect humans, despite their presence in the majority of the chimpanzee population. SIV monkey strains are transmitted sexually and usually do not cause immunodeficiency in their natural hosts, though they may immune deficiency known as SAIDS (simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) if they cross species boundaries.
Amongst the many theories on how AIDS developed, is the belief that the Leopoldville Oral Polio Vaccine tests used large quantities of Chimpanzee tissues and blood cultures to develop the OVP, and that in so doing, exposed large populations to SIV-infected blood and tissue.
The theory has since been discredited. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPV_AIDS_hypothesis - woodrail, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2what about syphilis? We got it from sheep by ***** them, right?
- leif77, on 04/30/2009, -1/+3Nah... your job is to believe whatever useless garbage you hear and spout it from the rooftops as if it were the truth. I could write a 100 page document and make it sound very official and put the presidents seal of approval on it and everything and tell you it was a declassified document and you'd probably believe me. If people could counterfeit money back then, they sure as hell can counterfeit a government document.
- tyzorg, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2where the hell is Malaria and Ebola?
- Donotsurf, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2Two of them are from cats! Scary stuff.
- nullcodes, on 04/30/2009, -1/+2I'm guessing just about every infectious disease that we have to afraid of has some animal origin. I reckon that if a pathogen originated or did the bulk of its evolution in a human host we would be unaffected by it .. as in by now humans would have co-evolved to either get rid of it or to live in harmony/symbiosis with it. There are many bacteria and viruses that have either no effect or a useful effect on humans. A common example of a virus that nearly 90% of humans have is JC virus .. and it has virtually no negative effect on us. As for bacteria, there are many species of bacteria in the gut .. and actually we need many of them to survive (comfortably at least).
- battleroyale24, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1LOUD NOISES!!!
- Wade, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1I wish to hear about the domesticated diseases we got from animals.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1Zoonose - Talk about a GREAT Scrabble word!
- KSUdesigner, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1They aren't sure that this outbreak started from pigs, but it's a known fact that pigs can carry the disease.
- danielorbital, on 04/30/2009, -2/+3yeah you should know...
- minnecrapolis, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1"I'm guessing just about every infectious disease that we have to afraid of has some animal origin"
Well, considering humans are animals... - ryrocker, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1theyre still people...
surly not as evolved, but people nonetheless. - daze144, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1Well.. Not true actualy, ***** is only an estimated 2.5 million years old.. Australopithecus afarensis lived 2.9 million years ago, not humans.
- Freakere, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1And they forgot the majority of STD's
- cubicrystal, on 04/30/2009, -1/+1Reading Digg is like being in a time warp, back to the era when people believed the world was flat. With really, only very few minor adjustments.
- daze144, on 04/30/2009, -0/+0Hmmm Humans 3 million years ago? I'm pretty sure theres only been humans for 150,000 years...
- skojic, on 04/30/2009, -0/+0Eugenicism,
Bubonic Plague is easily cured through readily available antibiotics as well :) - moonman239, on 04/30/2009, -0/+0How scary!
- xsecretfiles, on 04/30/2009, -1/+1http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/2009/ ...
- paulvq, on 04/30/2009, -1/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC5yIhhsxBw
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -2/+1I know, but it's all been declassified and all sourced appropriately. If you really wanna believe AIDS came from some dude ***** a monkey then believe that. I really don't care either way. My job is to open minds, not close them.
- hicksw24, on 04/30/2009, -1/+0The nerve of those animals infecting us on our earth.
- Zyem, on 04/30/2009, -3/+1uhh... creepy!
