PHIL Images From This Week 19321 9/21/2018 08:00 AM EDT Entitled, "The Isolation of Lymphedema", this image was created by CDC Epidemiologist, Caitlin Worrell, in the Center for Global Health. CDC has partnered with the Indian NGO, Church's Auxiliary for School Action (CASA), to bring simple and effective treatments to individuals suffering from lymphedema in India. The woman pictured here, with advanced lymphedema of both legs, was identified by health outreach workers during a morbidity census that took place in June, 2012, aimed at estimating the burden of this disease in the Ganjam District, Orissa State, India.   13217 9/20/2018 08:00 AM EDT This photograph depicted a North American deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus, which has been determined to be one of the reservoirs and transmitters of the hantavirus.P. maniculatus is a deceptively cute animal, with big eyes and big ears. Its head and body are normally about 2 - 3 inches long, and its tail adds another 2 - 3 inches in length. Depending on its age, you may see it in a variety of colors, from gray, to reddish brown. The underbelly is always white, and the tail has sharply defined white sides. The deer mouse is found almost everywhere in North America. Though this mouse prefers woodlands, it also turns up in desert areas.   19288 9/18/2018 08:00 AM EDT This photomicrograph of a muscle tissue specimen, reveals the presence of numerous embedded, Trichinella spiralis cysts, which were acquired by ingesting meat containing cysts, or encysted larvae, of this nematodal parasite.   19345 9/17/2018 08:00 AM EDT Entitled, "Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning", this photograph depicts an engineer and a student, as they were studying the data recorded during an experimental blast at the Pittsburgh Mining Research Lab.
