1.0 Description of the article
The paper will review an article published in the emerging infectious diseases journal on “Reduced Efficacy of Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITN) and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) for Malaria Control in Pyrethroid Resistance Area, Benin”. The study compared the effectiveness of pyrethroid insecticides used in ITN and IRS in two villages, Ladji and Malanville. In most of the malaria-endemic African countries, including Benin, ITN and IRS are the principal methods used in preventing malaria through vector control. In the two vector control methods, pyrethroid has been the preferred insecticides in the last decade due to ...

Introduction

Zika is a mildly infectious viral disease whose main mode of transmission is the chomp of an Aedes species mosquito that is already infected with the virus. The mosquitoes exist in two types, Aedes aegypti, and Aedes albopictus . Emergence and spread of the virus are accredited to the Zika forest which is located in Uganda. The disease was first discovered here in 1947. The initial infections on the human species were reported in 1952 in some parts of South East Asia and Topical Africa. Since the time the disease was first reported, minimal cases have been recorded to date ...

1.0 Introduction
Malaria is a devastating public health problem in Benin and is the principal cause of mortality and morbidity among children under five. The annual malaria mortality in Benin is more than 1000. In addition, it is an enormous economic burden to households in Benin with many households spending up to 25% of their income on prevention and treatment of the disease. Given that in Benin, a person can contract the disease an average of 3-6 times every year, the direct and indirect economic implication of malaria is enormous. As matter of fact, Malaria is endemic in Benin and ...

The “bottom billion” refers to the poorest people in the world and not necessarily countries. Although they may be concentrated in the poorest countries in the world, especially in Africa, they are also found in many developing countries across especially across the globe. These people suffer from many problems as a result of their country’s situation apparently because the country itself is so poor and cannot provide itself with requirements for survival ; the kind of aid it is receiving simply is not appropriate and is thus not working ; it is ravaged by war and similar problems ; or, poor governance ...

In the 1940’s, scientists in Uganda discovered a breathtakingly beautiful forest on the edge of Lake Victoria, near Entebbe. The Zika Forest, originally spelled Ziika meaning “overgrown” in the local language, proved to be a valuable resource to virologists studying all varieties of disease (Kron, 2016). The Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) of Entebbe established a protection program for the forest in order to maintain a satellite location for extended research studies.
Research here in 1947 revealed the first detection of its namesake, the Zika virus (Aggarwal et al, 2016). Initially isolated in a Rhesus monkey, the Zika ...

INTRODUCTION

Lack of access to health care systems is believed to be a major cause of the high mortality rates, within all age groups in the world today. The case is true for children as it is for adults. It is also very evident among the poor lot. Although each state has put in place policies to enhance easy access of health systems, some factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and education cause a constraint to the access to this health care systems and facilities. Unaffordability of health insurance is also an obstacle that many people have to overcome in order ...

Dengue fever is one of the famous mosquito-borne human viral disease globally that is a public health emergency. This virus is transmitted through a bite from a female mosquito with the virus predominantly mosquitoes from the Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus species. It has become widespread reaching hyper-endemic magnitudes in urban and semi-urban tropics, and the dengue virus causes Dengue Fever. This condition affects infants, children, and even adults meaning nearly half of the population is at risk of this condition. Moreover, Several people are suffering from it always recover without any further issues because the fatality rate is ...

Yellow fever is a classic viral hemorrhagic fever and is an example of diseases of antiquity. It was first described in 1667 in Barbados. The name of the disease is derived from the appearance of those infected (usually a yellow tinted skin). It was earlier called as Yellow Jack because jaundice is a prominent sign in severe cases. Devastating epidemics of yellow fever were prevalent in the Americas, Europe and Africa from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. The mortality rate for yellow fever is about 20% (Narins 2003).

Cause

Yellow fever virus belongs to the genus Flavivirus (Family: Flaviviridae) and is the ...

Introduction

Malaria is a key public health predicament and cause of much distress and untimely death in the poorer areas of tropical Africa, Asia and Latin America. In many endemic areas it is becoming increasingly complex to control because of the resistance of the parasite to anti- malarial drugs and the failure of vector control measures. Malaria is mainly caused by plasmodium species of the Coccidia family of Parasites. The most pathogenic species of the plasmodium species is plasmodium falciparum which is responsible for almost 90% of malarial infections in the world. The Coccidia are intracellular parasites that reproduce asexually by a ...

Executive summary

It is evident that Malaria remains to be one of the main issues affecting children in Sierra Leone. Essentially, the high child mortality rate resulting from Malaria infections in Sierra Leone has become a critical concern. This position has been reiterated by the National Health Sector Strategic Plan. The organization revealed that Malaria has become both a health, social and economic challenge to the country. In essence, it has been identified that the disease is the primary causative agent of children deaths in the nation. Although there are other diseases that account for children deaths, Malaria still remains a ...

History of dengue

Dengue is described by the World Health Organization (n.d.) as a fast emerging pandemic viral disease with worldwide prevalence. The viral disease was initially traced to the epidemics in Java and in Egypt in 1779. Some literatures trace back the virus and its vectorsto the Chin Dynasty. It was hypothesized that the disease occured in the Western hemisphere in the midddle of the 17th century and believed to originate from tropical America. However, some researchers would point out that the accounts of dengue outbreaks were traced back during the 18th and 19th century in Southeast Asia.The dengue outbreaks in ...

It is public that malaria was a key factor in changing history of America. We will try to focus on this topic, having in mind Wikipedia sources and book called ``1493: Uncovering the World Columbus Created``, by Charles C. Mann.
Mann dedicates attention to the fact that malaria played big role in re-shaping the America`s history as the instant result of European arrival. Nevertheless, in 1493, he shots to malaria, and presents several surprising instances of how malaria have predisposed key happenings in the history of the America, with consequent knock-on special effects on Europe as well. Mann ...

Abstract
For many years, human beings have continued to suffer from diseases, both the kind caused by their own bodies as their age degenerated and the kind caused by infectious pathogens. During this time, human beings have constantly developed new ways of eating and living, and actual genetic or physical changes have evolved with the aim of minimizing the impacts of these diseases. This paper seeks to examine the issues of societal/cultural changes, the origins of human diseases and bioterrorism. This includes examining historical societal/cultural changes for human evolution are responsible in transmission of diseases to human beings ...
