Limiting spread of infectious disesase - Coggle Diagram
Limiting spread of infectious disesase
Public health campaigns
To teach people how to limit disease spread.
Regular screening
Early detection of breast, cervical or prostate cancer
Provides free packages to detect bowel cancer
Immunisation programs
Childhood immunisation
Mass immunisation for herd immunity
Government regulations
Hygiene regulations in restaurants and health clinics
Provides infrastructure and services to maintain community hygiene
Requires prohibited disease to be reported
Public education
Educating on any media platform
Encouraging a health benefit
QUIT (prevention of lung cancer by quitting smoking)
Slip, Slop, Slap (preventing skin cancer by limiting UV exposure)
Sanitation
Personal hygiene
Washing hands w/ disinfectant
Keeping body openings clean
Washing hair
Community hygiene
Preventing overcrowding (controlled urbanisation)
Controlled sneezing/ coughing
Food hygiene
Cooking fast at high temp
Cooking fast at high temp
Washing hands and food before cooking
Allow air flow in storage
Water hygiene
Boil/ filter water before drinking
Treat water before distributing
Facilities
Community hygiene
Sterilisation of surgical equipment in hospitals
Regular sanitation
Maintaining hygiene standards in restaurants
Garbage & sewage disposal
Farming practices
Must be carried out away from houses
Quarantine
Preventing pathogens from entering into a country (exotic) or between states(endemic) by limiting the movement of its host.
Plant quarantine
Most plants refused entry. Some are fumigated (sprayed with insecticides) before
entering Aus.
Animal quarantine
Animals are kept at quarantine stations and monitored for disease symptoms
before entering Aus.
Human quarantine
Authorities required to notify if anyone entering Aus shows symptoms of a
disease.
Border control
Passengers have to declare/ discard animal products, plant products or soil before entering Aus.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations Provides antigens so that memory B and T cells exist before primary infection.
When the pathogen enters, it is inhibited, reducing the time that it can remain in
the host and spread.
Pesticides
Use of chemicals to kill pests that may be macroparasites or vectors.
Overuse leads to rapid natural selection favoring resistant varieties. May lead to rise of a pesticide-resistant generation.
Genetic engineering
The genome of a species may be altered to give immunity from a pest/ disease (eg. Bt-cotton).
However this can
Decrease biodiversity as modified alleles will be favoured and inherited
Alters evolutionary path
May cause resistant disease/pest variety to emerge as the lack of a host becomes a new selection pressure
