Diseases

There's nothing to stop someone from putting animal or plant diseases on this list... (Separate section please.) Valerius Tygart (talk) 18:18, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I give you the right to add it yourself, you marginally lazy beggar (free one for animals: rinderpest, which is flat-out eradicated). 180.200.140.188 (talk) 11:22, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same back at ya, ya barely tolerable coprocephalic. (Knew about rinderpest aleady... So don't congratulate y'self too much...) Valerius Tygart (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, the suggestion is not helpful. Rinderpest was NOT eliminated from the US, bright guy, since it has never been seen in North America. 143.85.18.26 (talk) 20:55, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Eradicated versus eliminated

Technically they are eliminated, not eradicated per [1] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:47, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair 'nuff. Change made. (Tho' the heroes of the National Malaria Eradication Program & the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease would disagree...) Valerius Tygart (talk) 16:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest deleting babeoisis from list

Babeosis is listed as eliminated from the US, but there is no citiation. Moreover, the Wikipedia page for the disease says that it occurs seasonally in the Northeast. See Babesiosis#Epidemiology.

It's possible that the initial author of this section meant specifically the type of babeosis carried by Babesia bovis. But according to the same link as above, this is a cattle disease; the other diseases on this list occur in humans.

If someone is able to clarify the sourcing, that would be great. If not, I will delete this entry in a week. Thanks!` Mgllama (talk) 20:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With no objection or other reply to this suggestion, I deleted the listing for babeosis today. Mgllama (talk) 20:39, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
