Breeding chinchillas is a great responsibility and must not be taken on lightly. You may already have a chinchilla and think it would be lovely to get him/her a mate. Consider all the facts very carefully before you go ahead. It is always wise to read as much as you can and from as many different sources as you can. I am not a breeder and the information below is basic. Please scroll down the page to see photographs of a chinchilla kit from 1 hour old to 100 days old The parentage of the breeding pair is very important.
Diphtheria: Types list. The list of types of Diphtheria mentioned in various sources includes: 1  Respiratory diphtheria. 2  Cutaneous diphtheria. 3  Malignant diphtheria.
Back to Top Causes. Diphtheria spreads through respiratory droplets (such as from a cough or sneeze) of an infected person or someone who carries the bacteria but has no symptoms. The bacteria most commonly infects your nose and throat. The throat infection causes a gray to black, tough, fiber-like covering, which can block your airways. In some cases, diphtheria infects your skin first and causes skin lesions. Once infected, the bacteria make dangerous substances called toxins. The toxins spread through your bloodstream to other organs, such as the heart and brain, and cause damage. Because of widespread immunization (vaccination) of children, diphtheria is now rare in many parts of the world.
