Which of the following is true about neglected tropical diseases? Group of answer choices Though they impact billions of people, most of these diseases are very expensive and difficult to treat Older adults are most vulnerable to these diseases, while children are relatively unaffected by them given their strong immune systems. These diseases affect relatively small populations, but have very high mortality rates They impact billions of people and are relatively easy to treat given sufficient funding and an efficient implementation of that funding

Compare the prevalence of neglected tropical diseases to the much better known and deadlier HIV/AIDS. Discuss two reasons why would it make sense to shift health funding toward these diseases and away from HIV research?
All of the following are true of biological vectors EXCEPT: Some of the most important global diseases, such as malaria and typhus, are transmitted by biological vectors Pathogens reproduce in the vector as part of their life cycle None of the above (All are true of biological vectors) Many biological vectors are arthropods, such as insects or arachnids Pathogens are passively transported on the vector's feet or body parts, without reproducing
Create a self-monitoring checklist to prevent the spread of communicable diseases based on the five types of disease transmission. Choose only one from the following: airborne, foodbome, waterborne, vector-borne, or blood-borne diseases.
Write short explanatory notes on how change of lifestyles and modernization contribute to the spread of diseases under the following concepts/topics: through food production, ability to store food longer, increasingly domesticated animals, increased consumption of raw foods, the worldwide trade of agricultural products through food production: Here you should focus on how modern processes contribute to the spread of diseases. For example, Modern processes involved in food production increase the risk of food contamination with pathogenic microorganisms. This can come from machinery used for food processing or food handlers. The answer given should have sufficient points for marks allocated. Your explanations can be supported by examples of microorganisms or diseases. ability to store food longer: growth of microorganisms in food stored for extended period. Consider factors such as temperature fluctuation, poor packaging etc. increasingly domesticated animals: How an increase in…

A fake country of Wathu has been giving a virus treatment tablet for free to poor citizens who exhibit symptoms. The tablet makes somewhat sick people feel a bit better and reduces the death rate of those who are extremely sick. Nobody sells counterfeit pills and no prescriptions are needed for the tablets. Some of the poor Wathu citizens are selling their treatment tablet to richer citizens for $400, which is what the rich citizens would have to pay to the treatment center per tablet. The marginal cost of production is $400. How would prohibiting these voluntary transfers of treatment tablets affect total surplus?
Which of the following statements is incorrect? a. Epidemiologists need to focus on evidence and data concerning diseases or other health outcomes, and not on their personal opinions or beliefs b. Many of the historical figures in epidemiology did not have a formal background in epidemiology or public health c. It is not possible for epidemiologists to function in the absence of sophisticated computers, software, high speed internet, and well-equipped labs. d. In addition to understanding acute infectious diseases, epidemiology also examines risk factors for chronic and/or non-infectious health conditions including mental health issues, substance use, cancers, cardiovascular conditions, and the implications of trauma, violence, and systemic racism.
What is the main reason that infectious diseases are becoming more common in modern times? A. Global population increase which brings humans farther from wild animals and their environments. B. Global population decrease which brings humans closer to wild animals and their environments. C. Global population decrease which brings humans farther away from wild animals and their environments. D. Global population increase which brings humans closer to wild animals and their environments.
