It is interesting to note that the areas with the highest frequency of sickle cell disease also have infection with Plasmodium falciparum that causes malaria in human. In the United States‚ there is an estimated population of 270 millions about 1‚000 babies are born with sickle cell disease each year. It means there are 1-2% of all babies having this disease in the total

In Africa and other developing countries‚ it also accounts for millions of dollars in medical costs. Malaria‚ however‚ is a curable disease if promptly diagnosed and adequately treated. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the parasite plasmodium. In recent years‚ most cases in the U.S. have been in people who have acquired the disease after travelling to tropical and sub-tropical areas. Over 200 million cases worldwide are reported each year. Estimates of deaths caused by malaria exceed

The Search for better health – notes on all parts except first hand pracs • Discuss difficulties in defining the terms health and disease. Health is defined as the complete physical‚ physiological‚ mental and social wellbeing of an organism. It is not merely the absence of disease. Disease can be defined as a state which prevents correct functioning or impairs bodily function. It is difficult to define these terms as they are very subjective and dynamic‚ i.e. they differ from person

the simplest multicellular organisms have cells that depend on each other in order to survive. Some organisms are partially uni- and multicellular‚ like Dictyostelium discoideum. Other can be unicellular and multinucleate‚ like Myxogastria and Plasmodium. ‘Candidatus Magnetoglobus multicellularis’‚ related to Deltaproteobacteria‚ is a multicellular prokaryote. It is neither unicellular‚ nor a colony. Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic size and are thus classified as microorganisms.

There are 2 ways that the fomites can be transmitted. These include direct and indirect transmission. Direct transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects‚ or to vectors such as insects or animals. Direct contact infections spread when microorganisms pass from the infected person to the healthy
