EBOLA VACCINE SHOWS PROMISE FOR GORILLAS AND CHIMPS


SUMMARY


Scientists believe that an Ebola vaccine could help protect gorillas and chimpanzees from deadly disease. It is estimated that the virus has ended up with a third of the primates.

Dr. Peter Walsh of the University of Cambridge, who led the research, told the BBC that they have shown that this is a safe vaccine.

And Ebola in humans and great apes is closely linked. Many human outbreaks have started after people came in contact with the gorilla.

To see if vaccination could help, a vaccine was tested on 10 captive chimpanzees at a research center at the University of Louisiana Lafayette in the US.
Six animals received the drug orally, and four were injected with it. They found that the vaccine gave an immune response and did not cause health complications, said Dr. Walsh.
The trial was carried out before the ban on chimpanzee research entered its place in the US.

VOCABULARY

Wiped out: aniquilat
Vaccine: vacuna
Further: més lluny
Threat: amenaça
Carcasses: cadàvers
Bushmeat: silvestres


CONCLUSION

It is good news that researchers find a cure for primate ebola.
Although I have deconcentrated that many people became infected by contact with these animals.
I do not understand why it was forbidden to continue the investigation. They are not supposed to saved many lives.

There are 4 types:

The lucid ones: Are dreams that can be controlled. It occurs when the individual is aware that it is dreaming.

The premonitory: Are visions that we have in the dreams of future events

The Nightmares: It's when the Sleep is Restless, anxious and Stubborn

The sexual: When we dream that we have sexual relations

The most common dreams: 


Fly: To dream that you are flying is the symbol of freedom. They symbolize our inspiration. To dream that you are flying like a bird, it means that you're going through bad times or tough times in your life.

To dream that you can not move or call: That means in real life you have difficulty expressing emotions or feelings.

Falling into the abyss: It means that you are losing control of your life and you have fear of failure also means that you have too many responsibilities and need to get away from them.

MY TRIP TO ITALY 

Last year we went trip to Italy. I think it was in spring, specifically in May.
We had to be in front of the institute very early to get to Barcelona airport.
Meanwhile, at the airport we met a famous football player, that Joel took a picture with him.
It was my first time that I got on a plane and I loved it: the sights, when we landed, the milieu, I was quiet even I listening to the shouts of Dikra hahahaha, she was afraid.

Once we landed we were very excited and visited the tower of Pisa where we took the photo. Then we went to a restaurant where we ate pizza (the best I've ever tasted).
Then we moved to a hotel in Montecatini where we had dinner.

We then moved in one hotel, much better than the other, to Florence during two days. We went to visit the Duomo where we were 3 or 4 hours in queue to enter. Once up there you could see the whole city, it was spectacular.
We visited Pisa, Florence, Rome, Siena and Lucca.
In Rome, we went to visit the Colosseum where a scene of Gladiator was recorded.
One night we went to the disco where Dikra stumbled upon a chain but she recovered.


There was one day that we went to the Vatican City which was the day we were most tired because we could not rest and Marylou it got lost. We also visited the Trevi Fountain.

Before we left my friend and I went to a supermarket to buy food and I took a boat of chocolate that shortly after the cruise we realized that the chocolate was hazel hahahahaha.
On the cruise, we discussed with other travelers Valencia students, were stressful but at night it was fun because we went to the disco.

In conclusion, it was my best trip because we were very close together, we laughed a lot, especially when we had got free time. We met very nice people.
