  2. Cholera • Transmission to humans occurs through ingesting contaminated water of food. • If bacteria reach the small intestine, they multiply and secrete a toxin, Cholerage, which disrupts the functions of the epithelium so that salts and water leave the blood causing diarrhoea. Vibrio cholerae is caused of cholera.

  3. Cholera • Prevention • Sterilization • Sewage treatment • Advertisement • Water purification Symptoms ( After 1-5days of incubation period ) • Diarrhoea • Rehydration • Rapid pulse • Dry skins • Tiredness • Nausea • Vomiting Red : highly transmission Yellow : high medium

  4. Cholera Cure • Giving a solution of salts and glucose intravenously to rehydrate the body • If people can drink, Oral rehydration therapy is very useful to reduce losing water in body. Big issue at America

  5. Malaria It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the America, Asia, and Africa. Female Anopheles mosquitoes The disease is caused by protozoanparasites of the genusPlasmodium.

  6. Malaria Symptoms (After mosquito bite from a week to a year) • Fever • Flu • Shaking chills • Headache • Nausea • Vomiting • Prevention • Reduce the number of mosquitoes • Irrigation and drainage ditches • Avoid being bitten by mosquitoes • Use insect repellents • Use drugs to prevent the parasite infecting people • Prophylactic drugs; stopping an infection occurring if a person is bitten by an infected mosquito.

  7. Malaria Cure • Various prescription drugs can effectively treat malaria. It can be diagnosed after a simple blood test. Prevention drugs • Chloroquine : protein synthesis and prevents he parasite spreading within the body. • Mefloquine is expensive and sometimes causes unpleasant side effects such as restlessness dizziness, vomiting and disturbed sleep.

  8. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome; AIDS • AIDS is not a disease. It is a collection of opportunistic diseases associated with immunodeficiency caused by HIV which infects and destroys cells of immune system. • It is spread worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia • If they have antibiotics in their blood, the patients are HIV-positive. HIV virus is caused of AIDS

  9. AIDS Symptoms Initial incubation a few weeks, but up to ten years or more before symptoms of AIDS may develop • HIV infection : Flu-like symptoms and then symptomless • AIDS : Opportunistic infections including pneumonia • TB, and cancers : weight loss, diarrhoea, fever, sweating ,dementia • Prevention • Do not share a needle, toothbrushes, razors or other implements with someone who’s infected • Do use contraception while you have sexual contact • If and individual is scheduling surgery in the near future, and is able, they could consider donating blood for their own use.

  12. TB Symptoms (In few weeks or months of incubation period) • Racking cough • Coughing blood • Chest pain • Shortness of breath • Fever • Sweating • Weight loss • Prevention • Milk must be pasteurised to kill M. bovis • Vaccinated; BCG vaccine when they are children because vaccine for adult is not available. • Once, TB is confirmed, then suffers should be isolated while they are in the most infectious stage.

  13. TB Cure It takes a long time to kill the bacteria as they are slow growing and are not very sensitive to the drugs used. • Drugs; MDR-TB for M. tuberculosis. When drug-sensitive occurs, start to use antibiotics; Rifampicin. • Isoniazid • Direct Observation Treatment A tuberculosis patient at a hospital in Agartala, India.
