Though these facts give a positive outlook, with progress comes many setbacks. The informative view of Guinea Worm Disease from this documentary gives a good example of global health. With the concern of health worldwide, some of the most critical factors in global health are the following: the determinants of health, measurement of health

Maintaining healthy cultures is essential in achieving the proper outcome expected for this lab. Before preparation of vials, or observation of flies, the workbenches and equipment, such as brushes, pipets, and measuring tools were wiped down with 70% ethanol ,and fly pads, as well as Co2 guns, were thoroughly disinfected with kim wipes. Hands were required to be thoroughly washed with anti-bacterial soap and completely dry, especially before preparation of food. Distilled water and other required sources were regularly changed in order to maintain

The body condition score was and 7/9 and the preservation of the carcass was excellent. There was no evidence of external parasites or signs of trauma, the nostrils were clean, the eyes were within normal limits, and there was no evidence of diarrhea. A fecal sample was obtained from the colon to assess the parasite load.

One of the devastating diseases that was carried to East Africa was sleeping sickness (Ransford 111). The tsetse fly carries the sleeping sickness parasite, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, and transmits it through its bite (African Trypanosomiasis). The isolated tribe’s total lack of immunity and the eastern migratory shift increased both the severity and rapidity of this disease for Eastern African regions. For example, the decline in the population of Lukolela from less than 6,000 in 1891 to only a little more than 700 in 1896, is due to this type of disease transference (Ransford 128).

In the chronic phase, because of low and probably intermittent parasitemia, diagnosis relies on serologic detection of specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that bind to T cruzi antigens (see Fig. 4A). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, indirect immunofluorescence, and indirect hemagglutination are most common methods used. Two positive results from any of these 3 conventional techniques are recommended for a final diagnosis.

The Bubonic Plague seems now to be a problem of the past, but as time goes on, the science world discovers more about the inner workings of the illness. The basics of the plague, however, have been known for a while. As we know it, the Bubonic Plague is no longer an issue in everyday life, but, surprisingly, it is still affecting people around the world. While cases of this can be found in the more rural parts of the United States, it is primarily an issue in third-world countries, where rats and fleas are more prominent, and there is a lower state of cleanliness (Sutyak, Katia. n.d.).

The article “Flies’ Feet Can Spread Bacteria” explains how Pathogens and Bacteria can be spread by flies’. Scientists experimented on houseflies and blowflies in which their laboratory experiments prove that flies can pick up bacteria on their legs and then deposit the microbial bacteria elsewhere. In addition, many scientists believe that flies can contribute to the rapid transmission of pathogens and outbreak situations. In other words, flies may be associated with the transfer of bacteria in outbreaks of diseases. These flies mostly stay around places with trash and sewage. For example, many of the test flies were in Brazil where the acquired bacteria from sewage and transferred to other locations. The flies’ legs are the most crucial factor

Another major risk in the jungle would be Schistosomiasis, or “snail fever”. It is a worm disease

An individual slowly, painfully, and agonizingly wanders into the emergency room. They complain of having a fever, vomiting profusely, and are experiencing a severe headache. The physician notices in the patient history that this individual recently went on an excursion to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa. The physician inquires with the patient about their recent trip and the patient excitedly, but wearily, tells the doctor all about the African safari. The individual also informed the doctor that they arrived home just a few days ago and recalled coming across several dead fruit bats and even a large dead gorilla; in which he got close enough to take a picture with, similar to as if he was claiming it for a prize. With this information, the physician immediately sends the patient to the laboratory to have their blood drawn, mentioning in the order to handle the patient and the specimen with utmost care and caution. It is crucial for healthcare workers, especially phlebotomists, to practice proper standard precautions to prevent the spread of contagions and blood borne pathogens. The patient mentioned above would be a prime example for why such measures are taken and why the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has implemented particular protections. Every day phlebotomists are exposed to various infections, therefore, it is crucial that their daily practice concerning universal precautions does not fail; the consequences could be deadly

Although my family is fortunate to always have running water in their homes, a large population of Kenya’s women and children devote their days to fetching clean water from scarce fresh water sources to bring back to their homes. Along with water shortage, water pathogens are an ongoing issue in Kenya, as the people have been left unprotected against recurrent epidemics such as parasitic worms and cholera through the country’s running water.

As mentioned before, attachment is defined as a strong feeling of affection or loyalty for someone or something. However, the background in the process of attachment is vigorous. As a human, it is traditional to be fixed over a character drawn by curiosity or fondness of that person. On the contrary, attachment can lead to many different responses on to why they attach to you, one might have a bond between both partners while on the other hand, one can vary due to the fact, that one individual can be attached without sharing their emotions to the other person. Although this may be true in some cases, the process of attachment has three strides. The first step of

1. Define attachment, including reference to key theorists/researchers in this field and the contributions they have made.

In 1853, lungsickness arrived though accidently imported cattle into the Cape Colony. A debate spread about how to treat it, and because of the lack of veterinary services, it was confirmed that a medical profession should come to treat it. Looking into diseases and wild animals on a closer level, chapter five discusses bacteria. Friedrich Loeffler isolated a bacteria from diseased mice and concluded it was not possible to infect other animals of other species. Additionally, in the past 50 years, governments have made it a priority to control the populations of wild animals, as many of these animals hold diseases that cause health problems. Moving on, the next chapter explains a report from The Pasteur’s Institute in Riga that focuses on the interpretation of data on rabies epidemiology and post exposure vacation, its modification, results, and scientific work. In addition, it talks about the importance of vaccinations. On rabies, it talks about statistics associated with it as well. After diseases became apparent, public health became a priority. Because of the meat scares, a larger importance was placed on the cattle and meat inspection. Veterinarians stepped in at this point, and were asked by farmers to look at the animals and try to reduce diseases in attempt to improve food
