Spread of Infectious Diseases

Virus Simulation Write a one liner summarizing what happened with the simulation.

How diseases Spread Vector Borne –Through mosquitos, flies, rats Common Vehicle –Contaminated items –Food, water & equipment

How Diseases Spread Droplets –Coughing, sneezing & talking Contact –Person to person Airborne

HOW ARE DISEASES SPREAD?

Epidemics An outbreak of a disease that affects many people in a confined region Examples: –Bubonic Plague –Smallpox

WHAT IS AN EPIDEMIC?

Pandemic Outbreak of disease that affects a large number of people in a number of countries Examples –Spanish Flu of 1918 –HIV/AIDS –Swine Flu

Pandemic Examine the infographic Compare & Contrast 2 Pandemics by filling in a venn diagram Be prepared to discuss

WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PANDEMIC?

Curbing the Spread of Disease Quarantine –Identifying the contaminated people & separating them –Are rarely used today –Drawbacks identifying all the sick people not all sick people show symptoms Doesn’t block all ways of spreading germs

Curbing the Spread of Disease Your Immune System Controlling Vectors –Ex. Spraying mosquitos to control Malaria Sanitation –Keeping food, water & environment clean

Curbing the Spread of Disease Antiseptics –chemicals that kill germs –Used to sterilize medical tools Washing Hands

IDENTIFY WAYS TO CURB THE SPREAD OF DISEASE?
