Definition of Communicable and Infectious disease and the condition choose.

Infectious diseases and communicable diseases 1.

The following is a brief introduction to the topic:

These diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. These diseases spread when microorganisms from infected people or animals are passed on to other individuals. They can cause death and have long-lasting effects. In this article, we will define and explain the different types of infectious diseases. We also discuss their causes and how they are transmitted. In addition, this paper will discuss and describe three of the Healthy People 2020 goals that pertain to communicable or infectious diseases. The final section of this document will discuss the epidemiological aspect(s) of a selected communicable or infectious disease.

Choosing a condition and its definition

These diseases can spread easily from person to person. Contagious diseases can be transmitted by contact with an animal or person infected, airborne contamination, contaminated food, and water. Some examples of contagious diseases are influenza, tuberculosis or malaria. Infectious disease, however, is caused by bacteria that may be transferred through the contact of an infected animal, person or surface. Hepatitis is an example of an infectious disease, as are HIV/AIDS and chickenpox.

This paper will focus on tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the cause of TB, an airborne infectious disease. It is a disease that primarily affects lungs but can affect the spine, kidneys and the brain. It is possible to spread TB by sneezing or coughing. TB can cause symptoms such as fatigue, fever, coughing, loss of weight, or night sweats.

Tuberculosis: Principles of Incidence and Transmission

TB is caused by several factors. The first way that TB is transmitted occurs when a person breathes in droplets containing bacteria released by an infected individual when they cough, sneeze, or talk. Airborne transmission plays a crucial role in TB. Second, TB can be more common in those who are malnourished or have chronic conditions such as HIV/AIDS. The principle of susceptibility also plays a critical role in the occurrence and spread of TB. Third, socio-economic factors, such as poverty and overcrowding in healthcare facilities, contribute to the occurrence, spread, and recurrence of TB. Social determinants are therefore another important principle in relation to TB.

Tuberculosis and Healthy People 2020: Tuberculosis Objectives

Healthy People2020 objectives provide a health framework that can be used to improve and promote the health in individuals living in the United States. They are based upon a number of factors that influence health including social and economic conditions, health behavior, and access to health care. Healthy People 2020 has three focus areas that are relevant to TB: communicable disease, immunization, infectious diseases and social determinants.

In the case of communicable disease, it is important to decrease the number of diseases that can be prevented by vaccination such as tuberculosis. To reduce the spread of these diseases, it is important to boost vaccination rates. Immunization and infectious illnesses aim at increasing vaccination rates in populations that are susceptible to infectious diseases, such as TB. To reduce the incidence and spread of infectious disease, the objective is to make vaccines more accessible and available. Social determinants aim to decrease health disparities between populations that are affected by infectious diseases like TB. This objective is to reduce the health disparities among populations affected by infectious diseases such as TB.
