Disease in Nervous System Caused by: Clostridium Tetani and Botulinum; Streptococcus Pneumoniae; and Trypanosoma Cruzi and Brucei

Tetanus is a fatal disease for humans. The disease comes from a potent neurotoxin like the tetanus toxin or tetanospasmin. Clostridium tetani is found in soils that are full of manures. This may also came from the intestinal tracts and feces of various animals. This toxin goes through the nerves or is transferred by lymphocytes from wounds to the central nervous system. This results to stiffness of muscles or spasms. It has no effect with the mental condition of the patient. Botulinum neurotoxins attack the peripheral nervous system. Pneumococcal bacteria (Streptococcus pneumonia) cause the Pneumococcal meningitis. This occurs when the bacteria moves through the bloodstream and infect the “meninges,” a membrane found in the brain and spinal cord. Chagas disease is caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. These bacteria affect the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract and heart. Most victims of these bacteria suffer cardiac damage and often an apical aneurysm. Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) known also as the sleeping sickness is caused by the Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and T b. rhodesiense.

Bacteria are using the quorum sensing in order to coordinate gene expression. It is a system a system of stimulus helpful for the decision-making of many decentralized systems. Obviously, all of these are possibly transmitted to us from untidy surroundings. These may be from the direct contact to dirty stuffs, or may be from bites of insects that are habitants also of unclean surroundings. Therefore, to avoid all these, it is a must that we practice personal hygiene. It is a must that we live in a healthy environment and in a healthy lifestyle.
