simian reservoir of malaria is probably of limited significance for the human population in the Philippines. For his work on filariasis‚ Dr. Cabrera received the Philippine Legion of Honor‚ a Presidential Award in 1996. With the elucidation of the epidemiology and life cycles of filarial parasites‚ preventive measures in the form of drug treatment of human cases as well as measures against the mosquito vectors can be implemented. Dr. Cabrera also worked on the control of ascariasis. With the model he

A high level of knowledge will be demonstrated with a detailed description of both communicable and non-communicable diseases as well as an understanding of epidemiology. I will then find a communicable and non-communicable disease example and describe the biological basis of each disease with an explanation to how the body responds to the disease.

Abstract Influenza affects millions and causes more than 30‚000 deaths in the US every year. Vaccination has to be done annually and yet effectiveness of the vaccine is variable due to multiple strains of the Influenza virus and the difficulty in predicting the strains for vaccine production. The question I researched in this experiment is whether or not there is a significant correlation between the degree of match between the strains of Influenza and the vaccine (measured as the percentage of
