Why do people get Rubella?

German measles is a mild viral illness caused by the rubella virus. It causes a mild feverish illness associated with a rash, and aches in the joints when it affects adults. The major reason for any attention being devoted to the eradication of this condition is the nasty effects that it has on the unborn baby (known as a fetus), when a pregnant woman catches it in early pregnancy\n\n--------------------\nHope this helps, if you need more info just contact me.. goodluck withe the assignment

Some people are just lazy.  It could also be that they are uninformed or weren't taught to wash their hands when they were children.  All sorts of diseases can be spread this way, but the biggest threat/concern would be Hepatitis A, which is very easily spread this way.

Some people are more allergic to mosquitos than others and wil develop large bumps from the bites that tend to go away after a couple days. Nothing much to worry about if that is the case.

Because they are natural carriers.  Their immune system is designed to deal with it.

That which is described above, and then there are parasites. If you have an infant or toddler in the house they can pick up intestinal parasites from playing in the litter box... It happens... \nThey can become ill from being scratched or bitten as there bites harbor bacteria that can and will make someone extremely ill especially the very young old and immune suppressed. They can also become ill by being bitten by fleas that the cats may bring in the house. Other problems that can be transmitted to humans by animals are mange, mites and ringworm. There are know known "diseases" that transmit directly from cat to human like the flu with the exception of rabies, but with the concern over avian flu the possibility though extremely remote does exist. Now with dogs there is a virus called Parvo. Humans can get a variation of the virus though it is not thought to be a direct transmission. Keep children and pregnant women away from litter boxes and keep animals healthy by having regular checkups with the vet, and ensuring there vaccinations are up to date.

I heard in the news that half of the infected people were vaccinated.  It was an interview with some public health offical on NPR.  He was saying that because of this outbreak, it may be necessary to reevaluate the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine.

the sad thing is ticks arent that big of a problem, weve just blown it up unrealistic proportions. lime disease is about as deadly as the common flu, and easier to spot. sure it makes life harder for a while and it needs to be treated but if you start to get a target shaped mark on your body head into the doctors. my friend had it and he's fine. and if your saying it was a baby because it was small and red, it probably was a deer tick (the most common carrier of the virus) but dont get worried

No one knows. They have done many studies to see if that's even true and they found out that it is "contagious" but no one knows why.

Sometimes women of Mediterranean descent have something called Cytomegalovirus.  It is something that should be monitored, if you test positive for it, during your pregnancy. It can occur congenitally, postnatally, or later in life.  This virus can produce a latent infection that may be subsequently activated by pregnancy. It can cause mental retardation in neonates.\nBut I wouldn't worry too much about it. In the 12 years I worked OB/GYN I never knew of anyone that tested positive for it.  I hope this has been helpful to you, and didn't scare you too much!

That happens because of genes. Its heriditary. It doesnt cause anything as far as I know.

Typhoid fever (a.k.a. Enteric fever) is an illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. Very common worldwide, it is transmitted by ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces from an infected person. The bacteria then multiply in the blood stream of the infected person and are absorbed into the digestive tract and eliminated with the waste.

the virus likes to mutate. so even if they did have one.. it wouldn't work for very long

The basic answer to this is No because there are various strains of the virus and thus each person could be reinfecting each other and thus make the other person sicker than they really should be.

Hanta virus. this virus is NASTY!!!! it is a respiratory illness that is usually fatal. this can be picked up by ingesting infected mice feces. this commonly happens when it is in the dust and the dust gets on top of cans of food and the cans arent properly washed before opening and gets in your food. the dust containing feces can also be inhaled. \nHanta virus is BAD NEWS check out CDC to see if it has occurred in your state.\nadditionally, mice have been known to be carriers of lime disease, ticks get it from mice and can spread it.\n \nGood luck!!

Measles, also known as rubeola, is a disease caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus.\n\nReports of measles go back to at least 700, however, the first scientific description of the disease and its distinction from smallpox is attributed to the Muslim physician Ibn Razi (Rhazes) 860-932 who published a book entitled "Smallpox and Measles" (in Arabic: Kitab fi al-jadari wa-al-hasbah). In 1954, the virus causing the disease was isolated, and licensed vaccines to prevent the disease became available in 1963.
