J Unit Task 1 Amebicides Antibiotics Antivirals What they are? Amebicides are agents that destroy amebae infections, especially those that cause amebiasis. Antibiotics are a treatment that destroy or slow down the growth of bacteria. Antivirals are agents that stop the growth and reproduction of viruses. What diseases they treat? Amebicides treat a disease called amebiasis; amebiasis is an intestinal illness that is commonly caught when someone eats or drinks something that is

disease such as cholera bacteria inflicting diarrhea. These infections are easily spread through contaminated water. Emotional stress which has a great impact on the physical as well as the mental health of the population quickly degraded the body immune system. Inadequate quantities and qualities of water to sustain health and personal hygiene, poor environmental sanitation and insufficient shelter are all factors that made cholera more potent. An infectious disease like cholera thrives best in

Manchester, England during 1830 to 1850?” Although we did touch on some scientific data, we mainly focused on historical information to answer our question through our map. For us, our main source of data was the book that included 200 individual cases of cholera in Manchester in 1832. This source allowed us to seamlessly connect two seemingly disparate fields, science and history. To keep our map manageable and not overwhelming, we chose to collect fifty of the most interesting personal accounts,

that cholera was not being spread through the air, but through soiled water in 1813. Once again, he too would face multiple years of push back from colleagues who did not believe that this deadly disease was in the water. As the industrial revolution sparked an eruption of mass spreading of cholera, the invention of steamboats took the isolated pandemic across the seas to the America’s well into the twentieth century. Although advances in technology and medicine have almost abolished cholera in

John Snow attempted and found the source of the Cholera outbreak, using several tools that narrowed in on the here and now. For instance, he in short looked at the commonalities and differences with who and who did not fall sick with the disease, where did they live, where did they work, and what pump supplied the water that they drank. He retrieved this information by going door-to-door, then mapped the data which produced a spatial distribution of the disease. The map then gave him a visual analyzation

body. In this research paper an infectious disease will be explored in depth from its cause, to symptoms to virulence, to forms of treatment and prevention. The Disease Among the most widely known and feared human infectious diseases comes Cholera. Cholera is an infectious disease that has had 7 recorded pandemic outbreaks over the past 2 centuries, taking away millions of lives from across the globe. It is an acute ( critical) intestinal infection that causes copious watery diarrhea

Introduction: The Republic of Senegal is a small country on the tip of West Africa that has long been a beacon of hope for Sub-Saharan Africa. Formerly a colony of France, this French-speaking nation is one of the few countries in Africa to never have a coup d’état or establish an authoritarian government. It is internationally recognized for its Islamic traditions, diverse ethnic groups, fishing, dancing, baobab trees, and hospitality referred to as “la Teranga.” With the population 90% Muslim

In the TGM, Johnson includes scientific evidence and tangents to enrich the story of the cholera epidemic on London. Johnson tries to get a “bird’s eye view” of seeing how cholera spread through London. In that way Johnson tries to get the reader to not only see individual stories of people who contracted cholera but to produce information on how it came about, what it is, and give as much background and insight to get the reader to see information they usually wouldn’t. Johnson also uses these scientific

Public Health Problem Cholera is a waterborne diarrheal disease that can be severely detrimental to a person’s health if not treated properly. According to the World Health Organization, cholera is a bacterial disease that originated in India in the 19th century, with seven pandemics spreading around the globe and killing millions of people.1 The current pandemic is still around, and cholera in present times is estimated to affect anywhere from 1.4 to 4.3 million children and adults every year.1
