  Lyme Disease and the Eye
Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease that often goes unrecognized until it has affected many parts of the body, including the eyes.
In Europe, years before the recognition of lyme disease in the United States, a different species of ixodes tick was found to spread a rash and meningitis (an inflammation in the brain).
Parts of the eye that may be affected include the uvea, the middle layer inside the eye, the cornea, part of the outer coat of the eye; the iris, the colored circle around the pupil, and the choroid, a layer of blood vessels in the eye.

 How Diseases Spread
Infectious diseases are caused by germs, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Infectious diseases that commonly occur among children are often communicable or contagious and may spread very easily from person to person.
Germs must be present in the environment, either through a person carrying the germ or through infectious body fluids, such as discharge from the eye, nose, mouth, or digestive (gastrointestinal) tract; in the air; or on a surface.

Spreading the virus is one of the biggest worries that people have when they are first diagnosed with genital herpes.

The risk of spreading the disease is high during an outbreak.

 Slaughter 'spreading disease' | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
The Ministry of Agriculture's mass slaughter policy is scientifically mistaken, helps to spread the disease, is agriculturally and economically suicidal, and could be be illegal under European law, documents obtained by the Guardian suggest.
The document, whose author asked to remain anonymous, suggests that the long delays in slaughtering and disposing of carcasses have already led to new infections and that each unrecognised animal with foot and mouth could be expected to result in between five and 50 new infections within seven days.
The report paints a dismal picture of the spread of the disease and suggests that the government has no idea how far it has spread.

 Person-to-person spreading of disease worries experts - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
New diseases have emerged periodically throughout human history, but the one the world is struggling to contain and explain today has aroused intense concern largely because it is the first often life-threatening illness to surface in nearly two decades that spreads directly from one person to another.
Other new, sometimes deadly respiratory diseases have erupted around the world the past decade, but they were transmitted from animals to people and subdued by killing or segregating the animal carriers.

 Wisconsin Mad Deer Disease Spreading - No Surprise
Wasting disease: Whitetails Unlimited says CWD findings could raise new fears ------------------------------------------------ A new test that found preliminary indicators of chronic wasting disease in wild deer in more than a dozen additional counties could lead to a new wave of fear about the disease among hunters, the leader of Whitetails Unlimited said Thursday.
The DNR found chronic wasting disease in 3 bucks shot near Mount Horeb in 2002, marking the first time it was found east of the Mississippi River.
A landowners group critical of the DNR's handling of the disease says hunters should be told that deer are testing positive for the disease with one test but not the other, giving them the most complete information in deciding whether to eat the venison.

The disease's cause and how it spreads remain a mystery, though theories are emerging and the scientists said they will seek state and federal money for further studies.
But in recent years, the researchers said, shells have become fully enveloped by the disease, and in the worst cases have rotted entirely.
Hans Laufer, a professor emeritus of molecular and cell biology at the University of Connecticut, said he believes lobsters may contract the disease from alkylphenols, chemicals that are byproducts from industrial sources.

 CNN.com - Live exports spreading BSE - expert - June 11, 2001
Despite tough measures against meat-based feed introduced in 1996, the disease has spread further than governments first feared due to a muddle of live animal shipments and flawed feeding practices in Europe, the scientists said.
UK scientists said other east European countries were likely to have the disease, linked in 1996 to the fatal human form, new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which has claimed the lives of about 100 Britons.
Dealler said one infected cow could pass on the disease to 50 others and even if potentially risky parts of the animal were never used, the disease could hit two or more other cattle.
