Explanation
Syphilis is caused by a spirochete (spiral bacterium) called Treponema pallidum. The symptoms of syphilis occur in three stages. The first stage usually consists of a painless lesion called a chancre at the organism's site of entry. The second stage begins when the organism enters the bloodstream. Symptoms such as fever, flu-like illness, a skin rash, hair loss, and swollen joints may come and go over a period of several years. In the third stage, permanent brain damage, heart disease, and blindness often occur. AIDS is a viral disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease, and its causative organism is Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Typhoid is caused by the bacillus bacterium Salmonella typhi.

About Biodiversity and Variety of Life
Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, binomial nomenclature and shared characteristics to organize life into kingdoms. The major groups include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals, with comparisons based on cell type, cell wall, nutrition, body organization, reproduction and evolutionary relationships; prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
