means of this resource‚ may cause the manifestation of new cases of infection. Faecal contamination of drinking water is one of copious faecal-oral mechanisms by which transmission from person to person or from animals to people can transpire. Other pathogens instigate infection when contaminated water is draw on for bathing or recreation. This entails water contact‚ rather than oral ingestion. For these reasons it is essential that the safety of the water sources must be ascertained. Aquatic

Health Organization (WHO). Although the US food supply has achieved a high level of safety‚ microbiological hazards exist. Because foods may contain pathogens‚ mishandling‚ including improper cooking‚ can result in food-born illness. Irradiation has been identified as one solution that enhances food safety through the reduction of potential pathogens and has been recommended as part of a comprehensive program to enhance food safety. However‚ food irradiation does not replace proper food handling

* What is the infectious agent (pathogen) that causes this infectious disease? For example‚ the name of the bacteria‚ virus‚ or parasite. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease that comes from the Hepatitis A virus (HAV). There isn’t a treatment for the disease once you get it. How is this infectious agent transmitted through food or water? Hepatitis A is contracted from eating food and drinking water contaminated with human feces. Eating raw and undercooked fish that was in contaminated

Many are there regardless of our human presence and others are uniquely human pathogens whose access to new susceptible hosts is global diseases and the annual number of deaths they cause. Most of the diseases responsible for mortality are also leading causes of debilitation in humans of all ages. Physical hazards are natural disasters

1.1 and 1.2 Bacteria - are micro-organisms that consist of only one cell. Bacteria multiply by splitting themselves in two‚ which is called a binary fission. Because of this they can increase in number rapidly. The majority are harmless‚ but some can be pathogenic which results in bacterial infection occuring. Bacterial infections can be treated by using antibiotics. Bacteria can evolve a resistance to antibiotic e.g. MRSA. Some diseases caused by bacteria include tuberculosis‚ pneumonia‚ salmonella
