1. Part 2

2. EPIDEMIC VS. PANDEMIC
EPIDEMIC IS A MORE LOCALIZED OUTBREAK OF DISEASE. CAN COVER REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY.
PANDEMIC SPREADS AROUND THE GLOBE AND INTO DIFFERENT CONTINENTS.

3. EPIDEMIC VS. PANDEMIC
EBOLA WAS AN EPIDEMIC IN AFRICA CONFINED TO A CERTAIN REGION.
SWINE FLU WAS A PANDEMIC BECAUSE IT SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD MOSTLY DUE TO TRAVEL BY AIR

4. IMPROVEMENTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH
SCIENTISTS STUDY MICROBIAL PATHOGENS TO FIND WAYS TO TREAT AND PREVENT DISEASES
BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH-
COMPUTER MODELS-
CELL CULTURE
ANIMAL MODELS
HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS

5. CARDIAC DEATH PREDICTIONS
COMPUTER MODELS
RUNNING COMPUTER SIMULATIONS TO PREDICT SPREAD OF DISEASE
EPIDEMIC PROJECTIONS
CARDIAC DEATH PREDICTIONS

6. CELL CULTURES
GROWING CELLS AND OBSERVING THEIR PROPERTIES

7. ANIMAL RESEARCH Animal Model Medical Benefit for People
Table 1. Medical Research with Animals Saves Lives
Animal Model Medical Benefit for People
Dog Discovery of insulin
Monkey Polio vaccine
Mouse Rabies vaccine
Pig Skin grafts for burn victims
Pig Computer-assisted tomography (CAT) scans
Rabbit Corneal transplants
Rat Carcinogen screening

8. TESTING OF MEDICINES OR VACCINES ON HUMAN SUBJECTS HOOKWORM VACCINE
HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS
TESTING OF MEDICINES OR VACCINES ON HUMAN SUBJECTS
HOOKWORM VACCINE

9. LET’S CONTINUE

10. PUBLIC HEALTH AND PREVENTION OF MICROBIAL DISEASES
SAFE FOOD HANDLING ( SANITATION GRADES FOR RESTAURANTS)
GOOD HYGIENE- (WASHING HANDS, ETC.)
ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMICALS (ANTIBACTERIAL SOAPS, WIPES, ETC.)

11. INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY
PROVIDES QUALITY CONTROL IN PREVENTING THE GROWTH OF BACTERIA AND SPOILAGE IN OUR FOOD SUPPLY. (food preservatives)
PRODUCE PHARMACEUTICALS TO PREVENT AND TREAT THE SPREAD OF DISEASE

12. Now let’s finish!!!!!

13. BACTERIA Single-celled, no nucleus, are the smallest LIVING organisms.
Are found everywhere, air, water, soil, inside of your body and on your skin.
They multiply very rapidly under favorable conditions and form colonies of millions of cells.

14. VIRUS
A microscopic particle that gets inside of a cell and often destroys the cell.
NOT LIVING!

15. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
PROTISTS
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Most are single-celled
Are eukaryotic ( they have a nucleus)
Can be parasites

16. FUNGI
Are heterotrophs that are so different they had to be given their own Kingdom. ( ARE EUKARYOTIC, RIGID CELL WALLS, NO CHLOROPHYLL)
four types that you need to know:
Threadlike fungi ) sac fungi
Club fungi
Lichens

17. THE BOTTOM LINE
BE THEY GOOD OR BAD, THE HEALTH OF HUMANS AND THE EARTH DEPENDS ON MICROBES!

18. VECTORS
Are mechanisms (other than people) that spread disease without getting sick itself.
EXAMPLES-
RATS
TICKS
MOSQUITOES
