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.
Ford trucks were also badge-engineered and sold as Mercury trucks. As a point of history, Ford was in business in Windsor, Ontario by 1904, a year after the Ford Motor Co. was founded on the other side of the Detroit River. The Meteor, Monarch cars and Mercury trucks first appeared in April, 1946 because of Ford of Canadaâs postwar marketing strategy.
