Blood contact transmission Respiratory tract Infectious diseases are transmitted via the respiratory tract and they can range from a mild cold to many life threatening diseases. This is the most common method of transmission of infectious diseases in an early childhood environment. Germs pass through the…

national borders. Coupled with economic development, globalization has altered the human health and disease exposure by altering the relationship between disease, its treatment, and people’s immune systems. Once a certain degree of development has been reached, an epidemiological transition occurs, greatly improving the mortality and fertility rates of a population. Aging, Infectious and Chronic Diseases The evolutionary theory of aging proposes that…

Modes of infectious disease transmission Infectious diseases are contagious contra -indications towards beauty treatments, created by organisms such as bacteria, fungi or viruses. The human body carries many living organisms internally and externally that are treatable, although if left undiagnosed the organisms may cause disease. Bacterial Infections, (Impetigo, Conjunctivitis or Styes), Viral Infections (Herpes Simplex, Shingles or Warts), Infestations (Scabbies, Head lice or Pediculosis)…

Parasites are one of the four major classes of pathogenic organisms that cause infectious diseases (Janeway et al., 2001). They are replete in Sub Sahara Africa because of suitable climate and socio-economic situation favouring their growth and that of their vectors leading to easy spread and perennial persistence of parasitic diseases in the population (Pullan and Brooker, 2008; Froeschke et al., 2010, Patz et al 2000). Plasmodium falciparum is the commonest specie of Plasmodium parasite…

interesting infectious disease. It has been called many things, including the kissing disease and its nickname mono.

The virus mono spreads and causes many other problems for people in both the past and the present because of the symptoms and how it has to be treated. Mononucleosis is a viral disease. A viral disease is when the disease invades people’s normal cells and uses them to grow. The…

“High Rates of Antibiotics Prescriptions for Outpatients with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Japan, 2013-2015: A Retrospective Cohort Study”, which we would like to submit for publication as an original research article in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. This manuscript consists of 20 text pages, 3 tables, 3 supplementary tables and 1 supplementary figure. High rates of antibiotic prescription, especially broad-spectrum, accelerate selective pressure on microbials to acquire resistance.…

decreased by an estimate of 34% due to the awareness and treatments of ART. By 2012, the use of ART had increased by 68% which is over half of the population in Sub- Saharan Africa that was receiving the support. So it is acknowledged that the infectious diseases will dramatically reduce, however, the impact of children is still a serious problem. Out of 3.4 million children globally, 3.1 million resided in Sub- Saharan Africa. The progression of decreasing HIV/AIDS in children is slow,…

Have you ever heard of the rare disease called tetanus. In fact most people don’t know what it is but it’s an infectious disease that contains bacterium clostridium tetani which is a bacteria that enters the human body from either a cut or a puncture.tetanus is usually found in soil,dust, and manure.this disease was founded in 1884 when 2 scientist named carl and ratlone injected animals with pus from a human body containing tetanus,but in 1889 a scientist named nocolaier found out that tetani…

Infectious diseases and Infections Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Many microorganisms live in our body and in our environment, in which most of them are advantageous such as bacteria found in our intestine is useful for food digestion and fungi used for foods such as mushrooms and yeast. However, in certain conditions these organisms can also cause illnesses. Infectious diseases can be transmitted, directly or indirectly, from one person…
