Neurosyphilis is considered infectious but is not transmitted from person to person. Generally, a disease like this is caused by an infectious agent and not spread between people. Neurosyphilis, although infectious, is not a genetic disease. It is not caused by a defective or abnormal gene.
The first motor truck was built in 1896 by the German automotive pioneer Gottlieb Daimler. Daimler's truck had a four-horsepower engine and a belt drive with two forward speeds and one reverse. It was the first pickup truck. Daimler also produced the world's first motorcycle in 1885 and the first taxi in 1897.
It was the U.S. Armyâs use of trucks in World War I that gave the trucking industry its first big boost. A great number of military vehicles were manufactured, causing an industry-wide production rise from 92,000 trucks in 1916 to 227,250 units in 1918.
