Diseases”‚ published in the online newspaper “CBSNews” in 2009 [1]‚ argues that climate warming is allowing disease-causing bacteria‚ viruses and fungi to move into new areas where they may harm species including humans. The author believes that pathogens that have been restricted by seasonal temperatures can invade new areas and find new victims as the climate warms and winters grow milder. In my opinion‚ the article is structured in a very effective manner: it first presents what would happen if

The biomedical model is viewed as the absence of disease. It is believed that disease is caused by the presence of a pathogen‚ and when the pathogen is killed‚ health can be restored. The current view of health is the biopsychosocial model. The biopsychosocial view is based on the belief that disease results from a combination of biological‚ psychological and social influences.

My research shows the rise in antibiotic resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent‚ self-duplicating‚ and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83).

Abstract Global warming is defined as a serious phenomenon recently and also it will impact the human health. The impact of the global warming on infectious diseases has been highlighted in this paper. The infectious diseases have been emphasized in two major classifications which are the water and the foodborne infectious diseases as well as the vector borne infectious diseases. Even if the global warming is not easy to solve‚ there are some methods should be taken to mitigate this phenomenon.
