1. Darwin Died in his bed, because of the Chagas disease, he got it from the Benchuca (Vinchuca), a species of Reduvius or the “great black bug of the Pampas” or the Assasin Bug , he got the disease near the Andes Mountian Range in Argentina, near Pampa.
ReplyDelete2. Darwin had to pay for the trip on the Beagle, but his father paid most of the money.
3. Charles Darwin had Ten kid, but three of them did in their early age
4. Treatment for Chagas disease, includes drugs that can stop the progress of the disease and there is also the fact that you can have a heart transplant surgery to replace the heart defected by Chagas

Yurimar Jaen pERIOD 4 HE DIEd of a heart attack

A scientific name of a local mosquito species is the Aedes albopictus. Its common name is the Asian Tiger Mosquito. Aedes is the genus and albopictus is the species.
ReplyDeleteThe asian tiger mosquito was originally from Asia, hence the name, but was transported over to North America by the transportation of used tires and other goods.
The asian tiger mosquito is all black with white stripes on its legs...very common in south Florida.

Charles Darwin had 10 children, 2 died at infancy, while another died at the age of 5.
ReplyDelete1. In 1882, Charles Darwin had several minor heart attacks. Many believe that Darwin died of Chaga's disease, when bitten by a bug in South America. There appears to be increasing support for the diagnosis that both organic and psychological ailments combined to cause his illness.

What does it transmit? Dr. CO
ReplyDeleteCaused by what infectious disease originally?
ReplyDeleteWhat about trifluoralin as a treatment?
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of any heart surgeon who may want to operate or do a valve transplant even on a Chagasic patient. That would be good news though.
ReplyDeleteBelen: vaccines?? Where did you read that? Give me the quote, since I am very interested.
