INTRODUCTION
Disease is a condition in which the normal functioninig of the body is disturbed. Many times such conditions may not be very serious and can be cured but some times these conditoins are serious and even fatal. There are many ways disease can be spread like:- * BACTERIA * VIRUS * PARASITIC WORMS * PROTOZOA * FUNGI This project will discuss about the disease spread by * BACTERIA * VIRUS * PARASITIC WORMS

Disease Spread By Bacteria
Disease spread by bacteria are * TUBERCULOSIS * CHOLERA * TETANUS * SYPHILLIS

TUBERCULOSIS : Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affect the lungs. Tuberculosis is curable and preventable.TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected.About one-third of the world's population has latent TB, which means people have been infected by TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill with disease and cannot transmit the disease.

Symptoms and diagnosis
Common symptoms of active lung TB are cough with sputum and blood at times, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats.

CHOLERA : Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It has a short incubation period, from less than one day to five days, and produces an enterotoxin that causes a copious, painless, watery diarrhoea that can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death if treatment is not promptly given. Vomiting also occurs in most patients.
Symptoms and diagnosis
Rapid heart rate.Loss of skin elasticity (the ability to return to original position quickly

    For most individuals, including Ms. Q’s co-workers and customers, the body’s immune system would likely suppress the disease. It would be necessary however to anyone who had been in close contact with Ms. Q. to be made aware, if she in fact had active TB. Active tuberculosis is actually much less frequent than a tuberculosis infection. With that being said, Ms. Q. would not have been infectious to others unless she had active tuberculosis that had gone untreated. When a healthy immune system is doing its job, TB can lay dormant for years. However, because this disease can be contracted through the air by breathing in droplets expressed when infected individuals cough, it is imperative that those individuals in close contact with Ms. Q. be given the skin test to ensure they have not had a positive reaction to the bacteria. This is especially true in this case, if the disease was active and went unrecognized, and considering that Ms. Q. was not isolated during a possible active period of the infection. Whether the disease is active or latent plays a crucial role in determining…

    It affects both the lungs and the brains of a victim. Symptoms of tuberculosis that affects the lungs can be severe coughing and it varies depending on the affected organ (Koch, 1882). A factor that leads to the spread of consumption is environmental change (Cohen, 2000). Changes in nature affect both humans and animals and if nature is infected with an air-borne disease like TB, it occupies an area rapidly. Climate change can also spread this infectious disease. For example, strong winds along with rain can transport TB to a different area, thus creating an epidemic (Cohen, 2000). Another factor that aids the spread of this infectious disease is international travel and commerce. If an individual is infected with TB then travels to a different country, there is a possibility it could infest another person (Cohen, 2000). However, this disease is not obtained from person-to-person contact. It is contagious because it is spread through the air and one can obtain it by…

    According to the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention, Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria normally infects the lung but can invade any organ such as the spine, kidney and brain. If the infection is not appropriately treated the person can die (CDC, 2012). There are two TB related conditions: latent TB infection and TB disease. TB is transmitted from person to person via droplets from the throat and lungs of people with the active respiratory disease. For instance, coughing, sneezing, speaking, or singing by someone infected with TB; people in close proximity may inhale these microorganisms and become ill (World Health Organization, 2014a). TB is not transmitted by kissing, shaking hands, sharing foods, sharing a toilet seat or using the same tooth brush.…

    Tuberculosis, TB (tubercle bacillus) or MTB (mycobacterium tuberculosis) is a widespread, and in numerous cases fatal, communicable disease produced by a variety of forms of mycobacteria. The disease is distributed within the air when individuals who are infected with active TB infection sneeze, cough, or pass on breathing fluids throughout the air. Generally infections are asymptomatic, meaning they feel or show no symptoms, and dormant, but then again approximately one in ten dormant infections in the long run move on to the active disease. If left untouched, active TB is fatal to more than half of those infected.…
