| | Bacteria, Viruses Can Cause Infectious Arthritis |
| | Arthritis is a condition in which the joints of the body become swollen, tender and inflamed. | | | Since many cases of infectious arthritis begin with a skin injury, good wound care is essential to avoid future problems. | | | “With infectious arthritis, a bacterium, virus or other infection directly invades the joint and causes pus to form there,” says James J. Nocton, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. |

| | Wing-N-Wave Labradors Vaccines, Infectious Diseases and the Canine Immune System |
| | Homeopathic (isopathic) approaches to immunization have been utilized throughout the centuries and are currently advocated by some modern-day homeopathic practitioners and even some veterinarians in dogs who are considered to be at high-risk for adverse reactions to vaccines. | | | The wide-spread notion, however, of totally replacing vaccination with the homeopathic alternative of nosodes is purported rather by some in the field of alternative medicine who continually use the reports of Dr. Dodds and others out of the context in which they were initially written. | | | To reduce possible adverse reactions of immunosuppression that may be associated with glucocorticosteroid treatment, dogs with seasonal allergies should be vaccinated during the symptom-free time of year when they are off medication. |

| | INFECTIOUS DISEASES |
| | Historically, infectious or communicable diseases have been one of the most fertile areas for biomedical research, and the field provides many examples where basic research has translated into major advances in human health. | | | The major goal of the proposed Program is to bring together researchers from different disciplines to address the basic problems of emerging infectious diseases, defined as "diseases of infectious origins whose incidence in humans has increased within the past two decades or threatens to increase in the future". | | | Its major goals are to foster individual and joint research programs in both the basic and clinical aspects of infectious diseases and to provide novel educational programs for pre- and postgraduate training of M.D. and Ph.D. students. |
