- Risk factors for disease
- Having a weak immune system
- Chronic underlying health conditions
- Disease Transmission
- Bacterial disease
- Tuberculosis - caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans
- Treatment: Antibiotics and vaccines for some strains
- Transmission: Droplets from the lungs - prevented by using tissues
- Treatment: Antibiotics and vaccines for some strains
- Bacterial meningitis - caused by a number of different bacteria
- Transmission: Direct contact and vaccines available to prevent the spread
- Treatment: Antibiotics
- Transmission: Direct contact and vaccines available to prevent the spread
- Ring rot - disease affecting tomatoes and potatoes
- Transmission: planting infection material and indirect contact with contaminated equipment
- Control: Cleaning equipment
- Transmission: planting infection material and indirect contact with contaminated equipment
- Tuberculosis - caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans
- Fungal disease
- Athletes foot - infection that affects feet
- Transmission: Indirect contact with contaminated objects
- Treatment: Antifungal cream, spray, powder and medication
- Transmission: Indirect contact with contaminated objects
- RIngworm - most common in cattle
- Treatment: Antifungal cream
- Transmission: Direct contact with infected skin
- Treatment: Antifungal cream
- Black Sigatoka - affects leaves of banana plants
- Transmission: Direct and indirect contact
- Control: remove leaves, drainage
- Transmission: Direct and indirect contact
- Athletes foot - infection that affects feet
- Protoctista disease
- Malaria - causes red blood cells to burst and infect a person
- Transmission: Insect vectors
- Treatment: Medication
- Transmission: Insect vectors
- Late blight - cause spores to grow on leaves of infected plants
- Transmission: Airoborne or waterborne
- Malaria - causes red blood cells to burst and infect a person
- Viral disease
- HIV/AIDS - attacks cells of the immune system
- Transmission: body fluids
- Treatment: Antiviral drugs and vaccines
- Transmission: body fluids
- Influenza - caused by a number of strains of virus
- Transmission: Direct and indirect contact
- Treatment: No effective chemical control
- Transmission: Direct and indirect contact
- Tobacco mosaic virus - impacts tobacco plants + tomatoes
- HIV/AIDS - attacks cells of the immune system
- Transmission
- Indirect transmission - pathogens not spread through direct transmission
- Examples: Animal vectors, air or waterborne transmission, formites such as door handles, human movment
- Direct transmission - physical contact made with the infected animal/plant
- Examples: Saliva, blood, semen
- Indirect transmission - pathogens not spread through direct transmission
- Types of pathogens
- Fungi
- Protoctista
- Bacterial disease
