Symptoms may include a characteristic “bulls-eye” rash‚ called erythema migrans‚ as well as flu-like symptoms including fever‚ headache‚ fatigue‚ and myalgia (Nichols & Windemuth‚ 2013). The second stage‚ early disseminated disease‚ may occur weeks or months after the initial infection (Nichols & Windemuth‚ 2013).

Pneumonia is a lower respiratory problem. It is an acute inflammation of the lung‚ caused by viral‚ chemical‚ bacterial‚ fungal agents. Usually happens in people with compromised immune systems‚ or people who have compromise to the structures that protect the airway (i.e. the nares dry up and can’t humdify air anymore‚ bronchioles shrivel and can’t filter the air) If anything occurs with the mucocilliary system‚ the epiglottis‚ or the nares‚ we are inviting pneumonia into our bodies.

it the leading cause of illness and death worldwide [1]. Its effects range from asymptomatic to death due to fulminant shock and hemorrhage. Symptoms include sudden onset of fever‚ headache‚ retroorbital pain‚ and back pain‚ along with severe myalgia giving rise to the colloquial designation “Break-bone fever”. Additional symptoms include anorexia‚ nausea or vomiting‚ marked cutaneous hypersensitivity and a macular rash‚ starting at the trunk and spreading to the extremities of the face [2].

With the development of science and technology‚ biotechnology has been applied as one of the eco-techno-political technologies in recent years. Therefore‚ genetically modified foods benefit a lot the human race‚ especially in developing countries which have a large number of people. With the wilder use of genetically modified foods‚ they not only solve the subsistence problems but also produce economic benefits. Additionally‚ genetic modification may help the plants perform a job that they cannot

The growing science of biotechnology Biotechnology is allowing genetics to combine with genes from many different species and coming up with innovative versions of old-style foods. Varieties of tomatoes‚ soya and potato‚ cucumber and maize have already gone through the blade of biotechnology. Genetic engineering is when scientists remove a specific gene for a good characteristic‚ from the DNA of an organism and place it into another organism. Modern
