I will be talking about yellow fever. Yellow fever is a very easy disease to get and it’s very deadly. Yellow fever is also known as sylvatic fever. This is a pretty fatal virus‚ people who get infected (20-50%) may die. Usually people will get this disease by going to different places like jungles and tropical places like that‚ so usually travelers and people who live in those kinds of environments will get it. A lot of what i’m going to be talking about is how this disease spreads‚ what causes

The interest is not just academic—answers could help avert future bouts of the virus.Right now‚ with no vaccine against the virus‚ the best defense available is reducing mosquito habitat in areas where dengue fever is common. New clues about why some communities appear dengue-hardened could yield better protective measures. One research group is now scouring

Multiple Strategies Needed to Control Malaria? * Multiple strategies against malaria are needed because there are numerous species of vectors and four species ofPlasmodium. * Some populations of Plasmodium‚ especially Plasmodium falciparum‚ are resistant to drugs‚ so alternative drugs need to be used. * Research needs to be done on new drugs as a "reserve weapon" for future cases of drug resistance. Unfortunately‚ drug resistance is more common in malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum‚ the
