Pathogens And Disease Transmission

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

An outbreak of cholera in a city with poor sanitation, an athlete picking up a fungal infection in a shared changing room, and malaria spreading through a region with stagnant water all look like unrelated problems, but each follows directly from the biology of the organism responsible and the route it uses to reach a new host.

This lesson covers how infectious disease develops in a person, the structure and biology of viruses and bacteria, and the specific transmission, treatment and prevention of six named diseases: Ebola, HIV, cholera, gonorrhoea, athlete's foot, malaria and typhoid, including the roles of the mosquito and housefly as disease vectors.

  5. Describe the structure, nutrition and reproduction of bacteria including the interpretation of bacterial growth curves
  6. Investigate the effects of antibacterial agents and antibiotics on the growth of bacterial culture
  7. Know the methods of transmission, treatment and prevention of the spread of cholera and gonorrhoea
  8. Explain the importance of oral rehydration therapy
  9. Know the methods of transmission, treatment and prevention of the spread of athlete's foot
  10. Explain the role of the mosquito (malaria) and housefly (typhoid) in transmitting causative agents of disease
  11. Describe the treatment and prevention of the spread of malaria and typhoid

Akọmọ Ojú-ẹkọ

An infectious disease follows a general course once a pathogen, a microorganism capable of causing disease, enters the body. First is infection: the pathogen establishes itself in the host and begins to multiply. This is followed by an incubation period, the interval during which the pathogen multiplies but the host shows no obvious symptoms, even though they may already be able to pass the infection on. Finally, symptoms appear once the pathogen population, or the toxins and tissue damage it causes, becomes large enough for the body to react visibly.
