1. Lyme Disease. Also called borreliosis, Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. Deer ticks carry these bacteria, transmitting them to the animal while sucking its blood. The tick must be attached to the dog (or cat) for about 48 hours in order to transmit the bacteria to the animalâs bloodstream.
Inuit are a people who live near the Arctic. Their homeland stretches from the northeastern tip of Russia across Alaska and northern Canada to parts of Greenland. Inuit refers to the people formerly called Eskimos. The term Eskimo comes from a Native American word that may have meant 'eater of raw meat'. They prefer the name Inuit, which means 'the people' or 'real people' and comes from a language called Inuit-Inupiaq.
In Canada and Greenland the term Eskimo has largely been supplanted by the term Inuit. While Inuit accurately can be applied to all of the Eskimo peoples in Canada and Greenland, that is not true in Alaska and Siberia.In Alaska the term 'Eskimo' is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Inupiat. iÃ±upiathe Yupik comprise speakers of four distinct Yupik languages: one used in the Russian Far East and the others among people of Western Alaska, Southcentral Alaska and along the Gulf of Alaska coast. A third northern group, the Aleut, is closely related to the Eskimo.
