Evolution of Infectious Disease infectious disease can be induced by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Several examples of infectious diseases are as follows: tuberculosis, chickenpox, mumps, meningitis, measles, and malaria. Infectious diseases can be obtained through many routes of transmission such as inhalation, open wounds, sores, ingestion, sexual intercourse, and insect bites. Author, Paul Ewald used his book to expound upon infectious diseases in humans and animals, explain various routes of transmission as well as epidemiology as a whole. Epidemiology is defined as the study of the onset, distribution, and control of diseases. Evolutionary epidemiology focuses on the distribution of infectious diseases whereas Darwinian
Entebbe bat virus Entebbe bat virus Entebbe bat virus is an infectious disease caused by a "Flavivirus" and is closely related to yellow fever. Entebbe bat virus is a (+) single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) genome virus. It is an enveloped virus with icosahedral nucleocapsid. Its genome has approximately 10,000 to 12,000 kilobases. Entebbe bat virus was first isolated from a little free-tailed bat ("Chaerephon pumilus") in Uganda in 1957, but was not detectable after initial isolation. In 2011, Entebbe bat virus was isolated from a free-tailed bat captured from the attic of a house where it had been originally found. Infectious virus was recovered
