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