In Another Village A Mother Died By Amporn Summary

Ecological factors that encourage the Anopheles mosquito, and thus also encourage the prevalence of malaria include: being near the equator, densely populated areas, warmer temperatures, standing water, maintaining water for irrigation and deforested areas. (Holy p.1)

Malaria is a very contagious parasite transmitted through mosquitoes to humans. Those at risk are individuals living in areas conducive to the breeding of mosquitoes, especially those that allow the mosquitoes to complete their growth cycle. Everyone is at risk

They lived at the bottom of hilled areas, which were frequently flooded. The houses were unsafe and definitely not sanitary. In these families there were often eight or more children but in the parents eyes they saw it as more money to be earned for the family. Even though there were that many people in the families they still lived with many more in crowded houses that were often only 2-3 rooms. The houses that they lived in were made from iron, which is extremely hot in summer and almost unbearably cold in the winter months. Because there were so many people living in the houses, diseases were spread extremely easily. These diseases included whooping cough, tuberculosis and diphtheria. Even though today these diseases are easily curable, back in the 20th century there was limited medical knowledge and even if there were the poor wouldn’t be able to afford the

Ex: Many people in Texas had malaria as well as Dengue Fever due to their large mosquito population.

These people had very poor food offerd them cuasing there bodues to be “thin and frail” as stated in document 7. Due to them being weak and frail many of them had poor immune systems cuasing them to be more prone to deasises. The laborers lived miserble lives working 12 hours a day and going home to poorly furnshex homes.

They were recruited to have better style of living, but it quickly took a turn for the worse. They overworked, lived in a very tight, crowded environment. Their wages were incredibly low. Due to living in such tight quarters, they would often attract diseases such as typhus, cholera, and other crowd diseases. Moreover, the employers would treat them very poorly. Often inattentive workers were subjected to likely lose fingers, hands, or whole arm. Due to factory’s owners lack of supervision, the worked place became even more crowded and overall

Also, a malaria surveillance and response program was implemented to insure urgency in attacking this

Mosquitos is a problem faced by the world it appears many times in the novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor,” “(Bloor)When Paul's mother Caroline complains to the HOA that the muck fire in the yard is going out of hand and should be dealt with asap. The HOA decides to try different ways to get rid of it each attempt worse than the last from putting it out with a fire extinguisher to flooding the fire with water. When the hoa decides to flood the Fisher’s backyard muck fire they didn’t take in account that they not only failed to resolve the conflict of the fire but added another job to their list. The HOA unintentionally invited the dreaded mosquitos to Lake Windsor Downs when they flooded the fire. The mosquitoes are blood thirsty creatures they will bite anyone and anything to get their food, blood.

The harsh journey, causing thousands of people to pass away from the cholera epidemic, and turning the land from an appealing area to live into the biggest

The lack of control over housing allowed slums to be built, the poverty in these conditions led to malnutrition. Cholera and Typhoid epidemics bred quickly in the slums and it

Malaria (also called biduoterian fever, blackwater fever, falciparum malaria, plasmodium, Quartan malaria, and tertian malaria) is one of the most infectious and most common diseases in the world. This serious, sometimes-fatal disease is caused by a parasite that is carried by a certain species of mosquito called the Anopheles. It claims more lives every year than any other transmissible disease except tuberculosis. Every year, five hundred million adults and children (around nine percent of the world’s population) contract the disease and of these, one hundred million people die. Children are more susceptible to the disease than adults, and in Africa, where ninety percent of the world’s cases occur and where eighty percent of the cases

Slave like conditions - Many victims are forced to live in deplorable conditions; becoming malnourished from lack of proper nutrients/unhealthy diet.

In contrast with Dunaway, who talked about how industrial shrimp farming id destroying the ecosystem. An important issues was that the government would provide safe public water systems where shrimp farms were, which threats water available for household usage. In comparison with Kerbo who mentioned the top causes of death in poor countries were no safe drinking water, sanitation, and vitamins. Working in these poor conditions put the workers at risk of getting sick. In comparison with the other reading, foods security is a problem everywhere. These countries that are working in poor conditions are dealing with the same issues that cause death. In contrast, Dunaway elaborates more on women working in these poor conditions. Pointing out the

Living standards as described by Blainey (2000) were bleak. Most people lived in one roomed, small stone houses, often with four or more sharing one bed. Homes often remained unheated due to scarcity of wood (Blainey 2000, p. 423). People were largely uneducated and knew little about healthcare. Sewerage was disposed of in the same rivers that were used to drink and wash from. These contaminated rivers were used to supply water to the growing crops. This had a huge impact on health, causing infection in around two out of every three people in rural areas (Blainey 2000, p. 415). Lack of hygiene and knowledge of healthcare led to shorter lifespans.

Malaria is one of the ten most common, yet deadly diseases in the world. It is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of Anopheles mosquito, which is active between dusk and dawn. Malaria occurs in over 100 countries and territories.
