Summary of “Achieving STOP TB Partnership Goals” The ultimate destruction of TB depends on the identification and treatment of all TB cases. Driving social factors such as poverty‚ immunosuppression‚ smoking‚ diabetes and poor health services make eradicating the current TB pandemic crucial in trying to control the epidemic. Current research has been focusing on early detection‚ treatment‚ and vaccination. The STOP TB Partnership was formed in May of 2000 by the World Health Assembly in efforts

pesticides are being created and should be used instead of the glucose based ones. There have been advances in the use of pathogens such as bacteria‚ fungi‚ and viruses that are probably the most important methods of pest control. One of these is Bacillus thuringiensis‚ which is a commercial pesticide. One of the pluses for using pathogenic pesticides is that they are usually not harmful to humans and safe for beneficial insects. These methods are called IPM (integrated pest management). Several

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person. It is a serious condition but can be cured with proper treatment. TB mainly affects the lungs. However‚ it can affect any part of the body‚ including the bones and nervous system. Typical symptoms of TB include: having a persistent cough for more than three weeks that brings up phlegm‚ which may be bloody weight loss night sweats high temperature (fever) tiredness

Actually‚ relatively few species of bacteria cause disease in humans‚ animals‚ plants‚ or any other organisms. In fact‚ all organisms made up of eukaryotic cells probably evolved from bacteria-like organisms‚ which were some

John Snow – The Father of Modern Epidemiology By Amy Blackburn John Snow – The Father of Modern Epidemiology Introduction Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease in human populations: who has the disease‚ how much disease they have‚ and why do they have it (Hydroville Curriculum Project‚ 2004). Epidemiologists study disease in groups of people‚ or populations. They study the general information about the populations. This form of research is largely field work. You‚ as an
