so they are very susceptible to becoming infected with the disease; their body is unable to fight against the pathogens that enter their body when they have been bitten by a mosquito. The most important factor associated with malaria is the increased risk in poverty as the ONE CAMPAIGN state that malaria increases poverty risks for the community and all the countries affected.

20th century, infectious diseases predominated as the highest cause of mortality in both developing and non-developing counties affecting 42% of the world’s population (Tulchinsky and Varavikova,2000; Boutayeb and Boutayeb,2005). This is the era that was heavily reliant on the biomedical model to diagnose illness which focused primarily on the proximal causes of disease (factors that act directly to cause a disease) and was confined to the objective measures for disease treatment (diagnosis solely

Epidemiology Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: Abstract Descriptive epidemiology is based on two important premises which are central in the field. The first premise states that disease does not occur in isolation. Secondly, patterns of disease occurrence are placed under three important categories of person, place and time. This paper seeks to build understanding on the three areas by giving relevant examples where they are applied.

infectious agent fails to cause injury to cells or tissues, the infection is asymptomatic. If the pathogens multiply and cause clinical symptoms, the infection is symptomatic and once the infectious disease is transmitted directly from one person to another, it is a communicable or contagious disease. The presence of a pathogen does not mean that infection will begin. Development of an infection occurs in a cycle that depends on the presence of an infectious agent or pathogen, a reservoir or source

the spread of infectious disease. Over the course of time, that definition has expanded considerably in order to accommodate the complexity of ever-changing populations, their environments, and increasing occurrences of disease. Epidemiology is a branch of public health that studies of the frequency, distribution, and determinants of disease in human populations. It studies the patterns of diseases in human populations and how to control health problems associated with disease. The epidemiologist performs

Summary Global bio-security threats such as the spread of emerging infectious diseases (i.e.,avian influenza, SARS, Hendra, Nipah, etc.) and bioterrorism have generated significant interest in recent years. There is considerable effort directed towards understanding and negating the proliferation of infectious diseases. Biosensors are an attractive tool which has the potential to detect the outbreak of a virus and/or disease. Although there is a host of technologies available, either commercially or
