The human chromosome get inserted by the DNa copy of HIV and this replicates the DNA cell..This results in the infection of the virus particles in the new T-helper cells. .The major symptoms of aids includes fever , lethargy , pharyngitis, naucea and headache..The AIDS can be diagnosed by ELIZA TEST.The incubation period of AIDS is between six months to ten years .
This disease is caused by a RNA virus.The polio virus is the smallest known virus.This virus can be affected either through nasal membrane to the olfactory nerves or through food or water.This virus multiplies in the intestine wall and spreads in the body through blood strain. The virus destroys the dorsal horn cells of the spinal cord which controls the activities of the muscles.Without these impulses the fails to work and thus gets shrinks and so the limbs get paralyzed.Thu the patient cannot walk without support.When the respiratory centers of medulla are destroyed by the viruses the breathing fails.this disease is regarded as a disease of infancy and childhood exclusively.Due to these reasons this disease is called infantile paralysis.But now this disease may occur at any stages.It may also spread through contaminated diseases or flies or insects that may contaminate the food.As some symptoms resembles to the same symptoms of fever the diagnosis is not favorable.The incubation period of polio virus is from 7-14 days.The main symptoms are stiffness and pain in the neck and back bone.If the virus enter in to the Central nervous system causes varying degrees of paralysis. immunization is the effective way of preventing polio myelitis.Salk and Sabin had developed vaccine for polio myelitis.The function of this vaccines is to increase an individual resistance and decreases the total number of cases of polio infection.Due to all these reasons there is no specific cure for polio myelitis.Right intake of Polio Vaccine at the right time can prevent polio,so be aware of that and save your child.

Malaria is a big threat, especially in the developing world. About 300 million people are infected with malaria every year and more than 2 million die annually due to this dreadful disease. This disease is caused by a protozoan parasite Plasmodium.
Laveran discovered the malarial parasite in 1880. But it was Ronald Ross (1887) who confirmed that the disease malaria is caused by the malarial parasite and that mosquito is the vector. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine for this outstanding achievement.
Malaria spreads through the bite of an insect vector called female anopheles mosquito, which feeds on human blood.
Headache, nausea, muscular pains and high fever are the main symptoms of malaria. Malaria progresses in three stages: cold stage (shivering stage), hot stage(faster heart beat and faster respiration with high fever) and sweating stage in which temperature goes down to normal. Enlargement of spleen and liver is a secondary effect of malaria.
The best way to prevent this disease is to prevent mosquito from biting us. Wire-gauze, insect repellents etc may be used. In stagnant water bodies larvivorous fishes which feed on mosquito larvae may be introduced (minnows, trout, gambusia).This is an effective biological control method. Also it is important to destroy mosquito breeding places.
A drug named quinine is mainly used to treat a malaria-infected patient. Quinine is extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree . New and advanced efforts are being made for the development of an antimalarial vaccine.

Diabetes are of two types
Type 1 diabetes
In this type of diabetes the pancreas gland stop the production of insulin .due to the lack of insulin the , body cells cannot get enough glucose for atp production. The primary symptoms are vomiting and nausea. In severe cases it leads to ketoacidosis ,which means the breakdown of body muscles , it will cause weight loss . in extreme severe case death occurs.
Type 2 diabetes
Polyuria : poly uria means increase the production of urine . it is due to high level glucose in body. These excess glucose excreated thorough urine. This will leads to dehydration.
Increased fatigue: diabetes results in inefficency in metabolize glucose .this will leads to negative calorie effect , which can cause muscle fatigue.
Polyphegia: the high level insulin in blood will increase the hunger .this is known as polyphegia
Polydipsia: the increase in thirst is known as polydipsia. It is due to the high glucose content in the blood
Weight fluctuation: the dehydration , glucouria etc are results in weight loss.
More time for healing wounds: it is due to the high blood sugar .these sugar resists the wbc . so to heal a wound more time is required.
