The use of light could detect bacteria faster than the current laboratory-based detection system. Sheila MacNeil and researchers at Sheffield University have identified a mothod that could ascertain the presence of bacteria in less then a minute by using light, reported the only edition of BBC News. The technology could have wide applications in would healing, counter-terrorism and screening patients ofr MRSA (bacterial)infection,the experts said. The scientists are developing a portable kit in which specially designed molecules emit a light signal when bound to bacteria.
Causes Parasites External parasites are notorious for causing alopecia in dogs. Ticks, lice, fleas and mites can all cause intense itching and scratching, which leads to hair loss. Mange (a skin disease) may also cause localised to generalised hair loss. Fungal infections Fungal infections of the skin (called ('Dermatophytosis') can cause partial to complete alopecia with scaling and redness. Some fungal infections are zoonotic, which means that they have the potential to cause skin lesions in people as well. Bacterial infections Bacterial skin infections can cause alopecia with redness, skin crusting and circular patterns of hair loss. Bacterial folliculitis is the most common cause of multi focal alopecia. Allergies Allergic pets have itchy skin, and in response they scratch or chew out their hair. Pets can be allergic to: 1. Foods- Grains (wheat, soy, corn, pork, meat, fish, milk, yeast. 2. Contact allergies- Walking through grass, chemically treated floors or ...
