    There are more than 40 different strands of HPV and many do not cause any health problems. In 90% of cases, the body's immune system clears the infection naturally within two years. [ 65 ] Some cases may not be cleared and can lead to genital warts (bumps around the genitals that can be small or large, raised or flat, or shaped like cauliflower ...

    ARVs work either by preventing the HIV virus from entering a human host cell, or by preventing its replication after it has already entered. [13] Examples of ARV drugs being tested for prevention include tenofovir, dapivirine (a diarylpyrimidine inhibitor of HIV reverse transcriptase) and UC-781. [14]

  4. Chlamydia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlamydia

    Chlamydia bacteria have the ability to establish long-term associations with host cells. When an infected host cell is starved for various nutrients such as amino acids (for example, tryptophan), [31] iron, or vitamins, this has a negative consequence for chlamydia bacteria since the organism is dependent on the host cell for these nutrients ...

    It is unable to survive more than a few days without a host. [22] This is due to its small genome (1.14Mbp) failing to encode the metabolic pathways necessary to make most of its macronutrients. [22] It has a slow doubling time of greater than 30 hours. [22] The bacterium is known for its ability to evade the immune system and its invasiveness ...

    Women rarely notice a primary infection because the initial ulceration where the organism penetrates the mucosal layer is often located out of sight, in the vaginal wall. In men fewer than one-third of those infected notice the first signs of LGV. This primary stage heals in a few days. Erythema nodosum occurs in 10% of cases. [citation needed]

    If left untreated, gonorrhea can spread from the original site of infection and infect and damage the joints, skin, and other organs. Indications of this can include fever, skin rashes, sores, and joint pain and swelling. [21] In advanced cases, gonorrhea may cause a general feeling of tiredness similar to other infections.

    (Pinta is a skin disease and therefore unrecoverable through paleopathology.) Ancient DNA (aDNA) holds the answer, because just as only aDNA suffices to distinguish between syphilis and other diseases that produce similar symptoms in the body, it alone can differentiate spirochetes that are 99.8 percent identical with absolute accuracy.

  9. Cutaneous leishmaniasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_leishmaniasis

    Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form of leishmaniasis affecting humans. [4] It is a skin infection caused by a single-celled parasite that is transmitted by the bite of a phlebotomine sand fly. There are about thirty species of Leishmania that may cause cutaneous leishmaniasis.
