The vector borne diseases that I will be comparing to schistosomiasis are Chagas and Japanese Encephalitis. Even though these diseases are all vector borne it does not mean that there are not their individual differences. Amongst all three of these diseases the aspects that can be compared are transmission and vector, people most at risk and symptoms produced by each. The main thing in common with these three diseases is also the main difference right off the back besides their names. For schistosomiasis

This idea wouldn’t just be for people that live in a dessert but for any part of the world that struggles to have enough good clean (3), (5) The water that they get still has things wrong with it: It may still have E. coli or Hepatitis A or Schistosoma.

INTRODUCTION In Malaysia, rivers have been used as a source of water and various development needs. There is no denying that water is a very significant natural resources. Irrigation, industrial and domestic needs consume water while other development such as recreation, hydroelectric power generation, and transportation rely on the quality and availability of water (Talib, Ariffin, & Baharom, n.d.). However it seems that humans have not realized how significant it is. Deprivation of their quality
Although the !Kung San of southern Africa differ greatly from the people in the west African nation of Mali, both areas share similar problems. Both suffer from diseases, illnesses, malnutrition, and having to adapt to the ever changing and advancing cultures around them. What I found to be the most significant problem that is shared between both areas is that the people suffered from a lack of education. In the book Dancing Skeletons: Life and Death in West Africa by Katherine A. Dettwyler, there

While reading my textbook for my nutrition class, I came across this horrific picture that disturbed me to the core. It prompted me to want to know more about what this all means. (PICTURE) B. Establish Credibility: According to the CDC, it is estimated that 801,000 children under the age of 5, around the globe, die
Parasites and their Virulence Why do some parasites kill the host they depend upon while others coexist with their host? Two prime factors determine parasitic virulence: the manner in which the parasite is transmitted, and the evolutionary history of the parasite and its host. Parasites which have colonized a new host species tend to be more virulent than parasites which have coevolved with their hosts. Parasites which are transmitted horizontally tend to be more virulent than those transmitted
