Overview of Tuberculosis

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
disease progresses: fever, weakness, loss of appetite, cough and sputum. Statistics provided by The World Health Organization demonstrate how tuberculosis has continued to climb in spite of significant control  throughout the past century. Estimates from the WHO estimated a total of ninety million cases worldwide during the last decade, with thirty million of those ending up in death.  II. HOW IS IT SPREAD? Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that is spread by fluid that is expressed from one individual  to another; sneezing, coughing and other means of delivery are all that is required to disperse the disease. When tuberculosis is contracted from food borne contamination, the Mycobacterium paratuberculosis  organism is to blame. Milk has been shown to be one of the sources where such harmful bacteria occur. Stemming directly from livestock populations, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis has been  found to be one of the most telltale reasons why humans contract tuberculosis. The cows that produce the milk are infected with this  organism, which can be brought about through psychological stress; this has been a widespread problem particularly in Britain. Because the animals possess the organism within their bodies, it is  only logical that they would pass it along to the humans who ingest their milk. Attempts to quell the organism by way of laboratory infiltration have not proven effective,  inasmuch as there exists significant differences between artificially-produced organisms and the ones that remain "environmentally robust" (Hermon-Taylor et al PG). It is a safe presumption that a significant number of  the global population who has contracted tuberculosis did so through ingesting milk. If this is the case, then, why are only some people at risk for this disease?
