Black Death Script In Medieval Europe, trading was very common. Ships would be in and out of ports every day, all day. This was going to change. In October 1347, 12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina after a long journey through the Black Sea.. When the people gathered to greet the ships, they met the most horrifying surprise: many of the sailors aboard were dead or gravely ill. The people noticed mysterious black boils that oozed blood and pus. Seeing this, the people gave the mysterious illness ?Black Death?. Early Morning at home owners house: Berta is laying in her bed. She is over the covers.She is starting to wake up. Homeowners:: Why are you not up working? Get up this instant! Berta: I can?t get up. I don?t feel well.

Courteney Higgs Sally Murphy 2B October 20, 2014 Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, referred to as CJD, is a prion-based disease in which severe brain damaging occurs. The disease is known as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Spongiform refers to the characteristic appearance of infected brains, which become filled with holes until they resemble sponges under a microscope. Prions are proteins that were not folded properly in the folding process. They replicate by converting properly folded proteins in the host to look like the same misfolded structure that they have. Which means that healthy brain tissue deteriorates into an abnormal protein that the body cannot break down.
