Pathogens And Disease Transmission

Muhtasari

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 seven named diseases: Ebola, HIV, cholera, gonorrhoea, athlete's foot, malaria and typhoid, including the roles of the mosquito and housefly as disease vectors.

Maelezo ya Somo

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.
