Introduction Every country is susceptible to potential outbreaks of large scale diseases. These infectious diseases cause a multiplicity of problems, specifically extreme numbers of death with those afflicted. Diseases like SARS, HIV/AIDS, and Ebola have claimed the lives of many, but what if we could predict the spread of new infectious diseases? That is the purpose of this paper. Mathematics will be used to map how diseases could spread, as well as determining the susceptibility of infection in certain regions....

Microorganisms are small living organisms that you are unable to see without a microscope. They live inside of the host (endoparasites). There are five main types of microorganism’s; bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses and parasites. Microorganisms are also known as pathogens and are around us daily, in every environment.

Cholera is a disease characterized by extreme bouts of diarrhea (Somboonwit, Menezes, Holt, Sinnott, and Shapshak, 2017). In the 19th century, Cholera was believed to be a disease caused by breathing “bad air”, however researcher John Snow showed that cases of the disease were clustered around a public well (Symington, 2016). Upon inspecting the water from the well, John Snow discovered the presence of white particles floating giving weight to his theory that the disease was caused by waterborne bacterium...

Biodiversity relates to the degree of abundance and richness of life present in a specific region. This could refer to a distribution of species having distinct characteristics, difference in genetic makeup, or in terms of the presence of varying ecosystems in a certain area (Brown & Cohen, 2019). According to World Health Organization (2020), “People depend on biodiversity in their daily lives, in ways that are not always apparent or appreciated.” It is said that humans highly depend on services...

Tuberculosis (TB) is (still) a prominent bacterial infectious disease, causing a reported 1.6 million people to die last year. The BCG vaccine was used as a treatment for TB since the early 1900s, however, this has still failed to stop the transmission of the disease, particularly in regions that are affected by dis-proportionately high cases of tb (known as high burden areas). There are several theories around the BCGs lack of efficacy in certain areas, such as genetic variations in...

Infection prevention is important within healthcare settings. This is because people who come into hospital or use other healthcare services are at risk of infection. When people access these healthcare services, they are usually already ill and may be less able to tolerate infection. An infection is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites that are not normally present in the body. Some infections can cause the patient to have no symptoms whereas other infections...

Recent debate surrounding the efficacy of vaccinations has sparked controversy regarding the effectiveness and safety of mass vaccination programs. This dispute in society has led to the misconception that vaccines can cause severe side effects including illness, disease and death. (WHO, 2019) The outbreak of distrust in vaccines has left the concept of mass vaccination programs eradicating infectious diseases deemed infeasible. Mass immunisation involves delivering immunisations to a large number of people at one or more locations within a short...

Introduction to the Zika virus: The Zika virus (ZIKV) was discovered in 1947 in Uganda and named after the Zika forest. ZIKV is classified as a flavivirus, denoting a family of viruses that are arthropod-borne, enveloped, and contain RNA as their genomic material. The Zika virus is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, commonly found along the equatorial belt stretching from Africa to Asia (Gorshkov et al, 2018). ZIKV replicates in the mosquitos’ gut epithelial cells and salivary glands and remains...

The strong relationship between malnutrition and infection was originally described by Scrimshaw et al. (47). From this framework, much investigation was done in this area and there is a total agreement among authors that mortality is significantly more elevated in undernourished child compared to healthy ones. The study by Man et al. (48), which included a large population of hospitalized Gambian children, clearly illustrated the relationship between undernourishment, characterized by lower weight relative to age, and higher mortality indexes associated...

Infectious diseases are diseases caused by organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites. The continuous growth of the Human population is causing an increase in the spread of infectious diseases. Due to the growth of the spread of infectious diseases the human population is decreasing. I feel like the bigger the population gets, the more infectious diseases spread more rapidly because of the indirect and direct effects population growth has on humans. ¨The spectrum of human pathogens and the...

To answer the question if infectious diseases influence the risk of civil conflict it is necessary to measure the exposure to infectious disease pathogens and the number of civil conflict incidences. MHV-pathogens are utilized to measure the exposure to infectious diseases. Pathogens can be divided into three different host categories. If only humans can serve as host like with HIV, it is human only. If only animals serve as host, like plague, the pathogen is classified as zoonotic. If both...

There are many factors that influence the transmission and contraction of infectious diseases. Some individuals are more vulnerable to infections, due to other serious health conditions or a weaker immune system. For instance, young children have not yet developed their immune systems. A common cause of immunodeficiency is poor nutrition. This is because great nutrition is needed in order to support the immune response. Moreover, lifestyle choices, for example, stress, has a negative impact on the immune system, and this...

For the vast majority of our history as a species, groups of humans have always interacted with other groups thereof. This has led to the spread of communicable diseases that have brought about illness and death. The carnage wrought by the bubonic plague in Eurasia in the 14th century and by smallpox and strains of influenza in North and South America in the 16th century are striking manifestations of this phenomenon (Cunha 2004). As our technological empowerment has increased exponentially,...

Introduction Based on the original broad claim, initial research was conducted to establish specific diseases that were common in Asian countries as well as certain geographic factors within Asia that affect infectious disease susceptibility; it was found that malaria cases notably increased in areas near deforestation. Thus, the original research question was formulated: “Does an increase in deforestation cause an increase in cases of Malaria?” Refinements to the research question were necessary to further developing the question, these refinements considered...

New Diseases Introduction A disease is a certain condition that affects an organism by weakening the body’s general functions and psyche; it is also affiliated with particular symptoms and signs. The factors that contribute to an organism having a disease may be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic factors originate within a host and could be caused by a disorder from that host, which compromises the processes of body organs or genetic features of the host. Extrinsic factors are when a host...

Increasing globalisation and continued human induced environmental degradation is enhancing the ability for infectious diseases to emerge and spread. Globalisation, climate change, urbanisation and livestock intensification are all features of the modern human society disrupting the natural ecological system and altering disease transmission (Patz, J.A. et al 2000). Changes in population size, density and distribution, aided by international migration and mobility further emphasises the likelihood emerging diseases will traverse entire continents and rapidly spread in short periods of time.
