Factors that contribute to these differences are climate (tropical, subtropical, temperate, arid, and so forth), native insects, parasites and animals, population density, and a myriad of other factors. Travelers to foreign countries (any country not of the traveler's origin) may encounter diseases to which they have no natural immunity , to which they are not exposed in their own country, and which are likely to have a significant impact on their health. Below is a listing of countries and the diseases you may encounter there. You may want to read about the individual diseases that are in areas you are planning to visit.

This document describes infectious agents which (almost certainly) do not have a nucleic acid genome. It seems that a protein alone is the infectious agent. The infectious agent has been called a prion . A prion has been defined as " small proteinaceous infectious particles which resist inactivation by procedures that modify nucleic acids ". The discovery that proteins alone can transmit an infectious disease has come as a considerable surprise to the scientific community. Prion diseases are often called spongiform encephalopathies because of the post mortem appearance of the brain with large vacuoles in the cortex and cerebellum. Probably most mammalian species develop these diseases. Specific examples include:

They sneeze, their noses run and their eyes itch from pollen, dust and other substances. Some suffer sudden attacks that leave them breathless and gasping for air. This is allergic asthma. Asthma attacks often occur after periods of heavy exercise or during sudden changes in the weather. Some can be triggered by pollutants and other chemicals in the air and in the home. Doctors can test to find out which substances are causing reactions. They can also prescribe drugs to relieve the symptoms. For more information on asthma, click here.

160. - Avian Infectious Diseases Lists the most common agents of disease seen in pet birds including viral, bacterial, and fungal. http://www.santaclarapethospital.com/722698.html

Santa Clara Pet Hospital Happy Autumn from us at Santa Clara Pet Hospital Infectious Disease of Birds Infectious Diseases Of Birds There are numerous infectious diseases seen in birds; the following is a summarization of the most common agents of disease seen in pet birds. In most cases, prevention is far preferable over treatment of the disease after it occurs. Good nutrition and husbandry are the most important factors in prevention of disease. Keeping the cage clean and free of excessive fecal material and food is important in controlling bacterial infections; decaying food and feces are an ideal growth medium for bacteria which can then overwhelm the normal protective mechanisms that birds have. A cage should be arranged such that the bird cannot get to the feces to consume them, (a grate on the bottom works in most cases), and the material on the bottom should be easily cleaned on a daily basis, (newspaper, butcher paper, or paper towels are probably the best). Fresh food should be offered to the bird at least once a day, yet should not be left in the cage for longer than 2-3 hours to prevent spoilage. Remember, in the wild, birds live in the trees, so their feces and food drop to the ground below them and they rarely have close contact as they do in cages. Adequate ventilation is also important in preventing infectious diseases which are more of a problem in confined, small spaces. Housing numerous birds in a single room can allow for the rapid transmission of numerous diseases; many of the bacterial, viral, fungal and chlamydial infections seen in birds are airborne.
