Does Man Have Thrush Too

myxomatosis

Anyone had to deal with a rabbit have at least heard of this disease, which together with hemorrhagic disease, is considered one of the worst diseases that may affect the rabbit.
The myxomatosis is a viral disease caused by a virus of the family of smallpox virus (Poxviridae), native to South America, where exist in endemic form in a variety of wild rodents of the family Leporidae, without causing too much trouble to them.
However, when it passed to the rabbits are imported from Europe proved immediately fatal, leading to death almost 100% of those affected.
was why it was decided to export it to Australia and France in the '50s, as the indiscriminate proliferation of biological control wild rabbits.
Then, as often happens in such cases, the thing got out of hand man and nature reclaimed what belonged to him ... the result is that since its appearance in the rabbit domestico la malattia fu sempre mortale e soltanto oggi, dopo più di mezzo secolo, possiamo dire che esistono diversi ceppi virali che danno luogo a manifestazioni cliniche differenti, e per fortuna non tutte mortali.
Altro dato che mi pare qui importante ricordare è che il coniglio nano sembra essere meno sensibile rispetto alle razze di grande taglia.
Ma vediamo dunque come si trasmette e come si manifesta la mixomatosi.
Diciamo subito che il poxvirus ha un enorme potere infettante (1 solo virione è capace di causare la malattia), inoltre il virus ha una grande resistenza al freddo e alla disidratazione (persiste diversi mesi sulla cute o nelle squame cutanee), ma ha una scarsa resistenza alla luce e al calore, inoltre è sensibile all'azione della formalina e della varechina.
Esso può essere trasmesso direttamente tra individuo malato o infetto e individuo sano (per semplice contatto).
Ma la modalità più comune è quella indiretta, attraverso l'azione di artropodi vettori (pulci, zecche, zanzare, pidocchi, mosche, ecc.), ed in questo caso è caratteristico l'andamento stagionale, o addirittura tramite l'uomo stesso che maneggiando prima dei soggetti malati o infetti, può tramettere il virus da questi ai soggetti sani, se li manipola subito dopo, senza prendere le dovute precauzioni igieniche (in genere questo è il caso dei grandi allevamenti).
Per quanto riguarda la sintomatologia abbiamo già detto che oggigiorno può presentarsi in differenti forme cliniche, ma la manifestazione classica è quella nodulare, in cui dopo un'incubazione di 3-10 giorni compare nel punto d'inoculo un nodulo simil-tumorale (detto mixoma) che in genere si palesa in un'area priva di pelo (palpebre, padiglione auricolare, ecc.), in secondo luogo compare un caratteristico edema della testa, con tumefazione delle palpebre e scolo oculare purulento, anche senza congiuntivite.
Finally, generalized infection, with formation of secondary myxomas, located mostly on the face, but also in the region of back injury, the edema of the limbs and then to the genitals.
The trend may be acute, subacute or chronic, and some rabbits are asymptomatic carriers.
In the acute form, characterized by a short incubation time, poorly demarcated lesions in relief and a strong involvement of the genital organs, the rabbit dies within 1-2 weeks (usually for secondary complications by bacteria).
The forms eased, with incubation times longer and more scarce and less exudative lesions, but have a lower mortality rate to 50%, and if death occurs within 20-30 days.
There is also a form of breath, less common, which has an incubation longer (1-3 weeks) and which may occur as a result of stress. In this case we will not have the presence of myxomas, but lesions in the form of congestive macules on the ears and genital region. E 'then this intense swelling eyelids, purulent conjunctivitis and coryza (first minimum and serosa, then mucus-purulent). This form is much more difficult to diagnose because it starts in latent form, and often chronic.
must then quote a typical form of the Angora rabbit (also observable in dwarf breeds) that typically occurs after the collection of the hair.
This is a purely cutaneous form characterized by the appearance of myxomas located mainly on the back, which spares the head, and appear as erythematous plaques of varying sizes from a few millimeters to several centimeters, so that is commonly known as "disease red buttons.
remember that myxomatosis is endemic in northern Italy, is present in the center and in Campania, while not widespread in the rest of Southern Italy and Islands.
for diagnosis, should be based on clinical findings, it is simple in its classical form for the presence of nodular myxomas and edema of the head, as it becomes more complex in the form of chronic respiratory failure, as the symptoms are less dramatic. The milder forms may remember a runny or Pasteurella.
The definitive diagnosis is obtained by using the identification of viral elements in the electron microscope, or through laboratory tests involving the detection of antigen by serology.
Unfortunately there is no really effective and specific therapy, but the disease can be prevented by vaccination gives good protection, and it is always advisable in pets living in endemic areas. The first vaccination can be performed from 4 weeks of age with subsequent calls every 4-6 months.
One important thing to note is that this is a disease reportable to local health authorities, according to the Veterinary Police Regulations and provides for the removal and destruction of infected individuals, since the rabbits were to survive can be removed the virus for a long time, acting as a reservoir of the disease.

Astrology: biography and chart by Maurice Chevalier

P er 's astrological update, today I will speak of the biography of Maurice Chevalier , famous singer and actor of the last century, a famous interpreter of French musical film in the twenties and thirties, defined as a kind of Fred Astaire beyond the Alps.
actually began performing with his older brother in a circus as an acrobat, but after an accident was forced to abandon his circus career, and that was how he was just 11 years began to earn the first francs as a singer! A free 13 years at a performance in a café a well-known theater actor noticed and suggested he audition for a musical at a local level. Did not need to repeat twice, introduced himself and got the part, thus giving rise to its extraordinary career.
was born, the youngest of nine children, 12 September 1888, in Paris, with a modest block in the sun sign of Virgo, however, redeemed by the presence of an important and ambitious Leo Ascendant, which surely led him to choose a career in the spotlight.
contemporary The presence of a Saturn in the first then has certainly led to a Maurice tireless and continuous self-analysis, also giving him a background inflexibility and stubbornness in pursuing his goals that brought him to his deserved success.
The Sun, although it is retiring in Virgo, is in second house, which combined with the bright Moon / Sagittarius in the fifth house in perfect trine to that Saturn / Leo in the first, produces a strong inclination to cultivate his image, making it the center of their profession (actor and singer in fact), in this case therefore fits perfectly, since the end able through it to gain the necessary confidence in the character of our greatest need had to live with calm and carefree your life, protected by shocks and economic uncertainty.
course you can not say that his life was easy, even from his childhood was immediately difficult to confirm the injury of his Moon (the planet that fits this age of life) and its planets injured in the fourth house (the family).
As you say in fact the birth of his Sun he came from a modest family: his mother, Josephine , was a lace maker and his father Victor , alcoholic, was a painter, but did not have a stable job and for more abandoned our family when he was only 8 years, (the absence of the father figure is indicated by the Sun in the second house and more without issues, which often denotes an estranged father satisfactory or interested only in material issues).
So, like their older brothers, too 'he had to leave school early to bring something home with odd jobs: initially for a period, as an acrobat in a circus, then as an apprentice engraver, then as a carpenter and then as a laborer in a factory.
long, encouraged by the mother herself in her artistic ambitions ( evidenced by conjunction Mercury / Venus in Libra), you will find in singer café in Paris, where he put to good use all his creativity, colorendo le sue esibizioni canore con aneddoti spiritosi e trovate umoristiche, tipiche di una terza casa importante, come la sua.
In piena prima guerra mondiale, si arruolò nell'esercito francese, in fanteria, ma nel 1914 fu ferito da un pezzo di granata che gli perforò un polmone (Marte/Sagittario opposto alla sua congiunzione Nettuno/Plutone in Gemelli) e venne fatto prigioniero dalle truppe tedesche trascorrendo oltre 2 anni nel campo di prigionia di Alten Grabow (cosa che gli valse l' onorificenza della Croce di Guerra). Qui ne approfittò per imparare l'inglese, thanks to a prisoner mother tongue (the presence of Uranus in the third denotes precisely the readiness to grasp good opportunities, even in extreme situations).
After the war he resumed his successful performances in the café chantant Paris (his previous artistic encounter, which occurred in 1909, with Mistinguett , star of "The Folies Bergere , where he became a partner in life, certainly helped to enhance his reputation in that context), until it became popular in Great Britain also began his career film, starring in some silent films.
In 1920 he suffered a severe form of depression that led him to 2 times groped to suicide (and Saturn in the first home must surely have had its weight in this, as well as the opposition Moon / Neptune in the fifth and eleventh), and they lost confidence in his ability interpretative and was hospitalized for a year in a rehabilitation center in Switzerland, a doctor finquando literally forced him to perform for the inhabitants of a small Swiss village and from that moment responded, returning to work.
In 1927 he contracted his first and only marriage to the dancer Yvonne Valley, which, however, divorced after eight years of stormy life together, obeying constraints its seventh in Aquarius, which in itself denotes a certain restlessness background and ties in a real horror for lasting links, contributing also to facilitate separations.
In 1928 he moved to Hollywood, and the following year turned its first sound film "Innocents of Paris."
Since then his character was that of the cultured and refined dandy who keeps his French accent, though speaking perfect English, with its charming swagger and aura of epicurean enjoyment highlighted by his inimitable smile and refined (all due to Mercury-Venus conjunction in Libra), while the ' clothing typical of Parisian boulevard with his bow tie and straw hat (borrowed in 1924 by an unsuspecting passer in London and never abandoned), became his trademark factory.
Still other films shot in America, but two in particular ("Love Parade " and "The Big Pond") earned him a nomination for best actor to ' Academy Award .
The phonograph instead brought several of his achievements on the stage with several magazines and operettas: " Valentine" and " Dans la vie faut pas s' en faire" are only two singing of the triumphs of his twenties.
In Hollywood remained there until 1935, when he finally returned in Europe, where he continued to work in both France and England always great success, earning the title of Knight of Legion of Honor. But the outbreak of World War II interrupted his career, though still tried to continue working as a comedian .
During those years lived with a young actress of Jewish origin (Nita Raya ) and that is why he tried to keep a low profile when German troops invaded France, also agreeing to perform for French prisoners held by the Germans, which cost him the charge of collaboration with the Vichy regime and a fall in popularity at the time of liberation (The tenth house in Aries justifies this sort swinging and discontinuity of its success). Allegations which, however, was completely acquitted, thanks to ' personal involvement Eisenhower.
After the Second World War turned the world thus favoring his three planets in Sagittarius, as a cabaret performer thanks to its " one man show" in various night clubs (Moon in the fifth home), although it suffered a denial of visa to the USA from 1951 to 1954, right in the McCarthy era, for having signed the Stockholm Appeal, which called the 'ban of atomic weapons.
Between 1950 and 1960 finally regained the right audience with a renewed fame, thanks to an emerging genre of music (the twist), which became an interpreter, and musicals like "Gigi" ( 1958), Vincente Minnelli , and " Fanny" (1961), of Joshua Logan , both Leslie Caron , as well as some film Walt Disney, of which ' the last was " Aristocats" (1970), so she sang (in the original version) the song of the opening titles, although it had already withdrawn from the scene nel 1968. Nel 1959 ricevette uno speciale Oscar alla carriera (durata quasi mezzo secolo).
In conclusione possiamo dire che incarnò senz'altro il simbolo della riuscita di un ragazzo di origini popolari (sintetizzando così perfettamente le valenze dei due segni, solare e ascendente), garantendo nei suoi film una comicità innata unita ad un candido buonumore (Luna in Sagittario) senza mai turbare l'ordine prestabilito , ma anzi assecondandolo in tutti i suoi film, da perfetto rappresentante del suo segno natale.
Morì il primo January 1972 the age of 83, maintaining its youthful spirit to the last, as required by the Neptune-Pluto conjunction in Gemini that characterized his generation, following a cardiac arrest during surgery to an intervention a kidney.
He was buried in the cemetery again to Marne la Coquette Hauts-de-Seine in France, where his tomb still contains the floral tributes of his fans.
