Water-borne diseases

social, and environmental aspects. All these dimensions converge together to form particular places of health that influence disease exposure and transmission. King asserts that a political ecology framework applied to health provides insight into “how health is situated within political, economic, cultural, and environmental systems that intersect to shape the spread of disease and decision-making options” (King 49). By taking into account these dynamic multiscalar processes, we can see how…

Infectious Diseases Infectious diseases are spread through four methods of transmission they are 1. Respiratory tract transmission 2. Fecal-Oral transmission 3. Direct contact transmission 4. 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…
