acontaminated drinking water. The greatest development failure of the 20 century was the failure to provide clean drinking water and sanitation services to all the Earth's people.More than a billion people are without access to clean water,and 2.4 billion lack sanitation services.Cholera,dysentery,...
An infectious disease can be defined as an illness due to a pathogen or its toxic product, which arises through transmission from an infected person, an infected animal, or a contaminated inanimate object to a susceptible host. Infectious diseases are responsible for an immense global burden of ...
The initial vesiculoulcerative lesion in LGV, if seen, is difficult to differentiate clinically from other ulcerative genital lesions. Early inguinal adenopathy must be differentiated from pyogenic adenopathy (secondary to distal infection due to staphylococci or streptococci), granuloma inguinale,...
rickettsia and viruses are said to caused goat diseases, low quality feeds and poor management practice can predispose to metabolic disorders, which can caused losses due to reduced productivity and death [2]. Diseases are very important to farmers and affect the production of small ruminants in ...
This time the atrophy could have been due to injured nerves paralyzing the hand and allowing it to wither. Another likely cause is polio meningitis. Polio is caused by a virus—an organism so small that it is not even visible with an ordinary high power microscope. The tiny virus is found...
Pine seedlings are susceptible to the disease for a short period and will outgrow their vulnerability. Wind, insects, and water can all carry the infectious spores to the soil. Dirty hands, contaminated tools, or hose ends can add pathogenic fungi. Once introduced, the pathogens move from ...
To estimate the burden due to contaminated food, we then applied proportions of infections that were estimated to be foodborne from a global expert elicitation. Waterborne transmission of disease was not included. We estimate that 29% (95% UI 23–36%) of cases caused by diseases in our study...
The lake water was found to be contiminated due to a gully channel that washed the faeces into the lake at point C. Conclusions This outbreak was likely caused by drinking lake water contaminated by faeces from a gully channel. We recommend treatment of drinking water, fixing the vandalised ...
The germs in the faeces can cause the diseases by even slight contact and transfer. This contamination may occur due to floodwaters, water runoff from landfills, septic fields, and sewer pipes. The following picture shows the faecal-oral routes of diseases transmission. ...
