A
  • bilhartzia- ( type of worm that burrows from sains out and then into your foot) thrives under condition 10-30C
  • malaria - mosqiyooes can only survise in walm tempertures and breed in water so just prior to the monsoons there is a spike in cases and in summer + no cases in cold highland regeins
  • Influensa - cold and flue season in the autum and winter months in northern regains. influensa spreds more quickly as more people are inside in close proxemity, inhancing the neighbourhood effect

    4. non countires at this stage but soem groups such as mongolian herds men
  • stage 2-
    1. some healthcare
    2. life ex rises 50 years
    3. still main cause of death is CD as people dont live long enough for NCD
    4. uganda (LIDC’s)
  • stage 3
    1. life expectacy rised to 60-70 years
    2. india
    healthcare and eduction can prevent most CD
    4. mortallity is predominatly NCD and its at this point NCD sike the most
  • stage 4
    1. NCD are cured and delayed in their onset
    2. life ex is high 80-70

Q

how does presciptation influence desease distrabution

A
  • water born infectious diseases
    1. chorella - river which peopel use for sewage over flow ( increse with cliamte change and in wet season vs droughts)
    2. typhus
  • malaria
    1. stagnent water breedign mosquitos ( increse with cliamte change and in wet season vs droughts)
    2. ethopia low tranition actober - may vs high in during and after the rainy season, which lasts from June to Septembe in wet and sirght after wet season
    3. ( infection rates are 73% higher in sptembre for instnce..)
  • influensa
    1. prefures less humid conditions ( may see decrese with climate change + increse in wintre ) ( also relates to neighbourhood effect)
    2. H1N1 spred faster when it got to uk vs its orginial outbreak in mexico in 2009
  • decreased P 25s in the air
103

neighbourhood effect

104
Q

what causes haiti choreela

A
  • 2010 eath quake
  • nepalease aid workers seage leaking into locla river
105
Q

what physical factors made haiti worse

A
  • hazard of eath quake
    1. brought aid workers
    2. infastructure already destroyed ( taht there was) ( water and heigein - incresed spred)
  • heavy precipitaion
    1. hurricane thomas novembre 5th 2010 when earth quake was only jan 12th - this was seemingly most significnat as aid workers came stright after quake but novmbre ( 10 months after was when outbreak occured)
    2. flood rivers that people used for sewage and latirnes + rapis
    3. + when hati was sandy in 2015 when country was just recovering
  • hati hot (av temp 24-32C’) chorrella prefures temps 27-10 degrees to spred most rapidly.
106
Q

case study for natural hazard effecting disese

A

Haiti

107
Q

what type of diffusion was haiti

A

relocation then expansion

108
Q

human factors effceting haiti out break

A
  • aid workers - significant as ource
  • low development
    1. poor eduction and access to resources - use river for sewage and cooking and drinking etc and may not no how to proppely snitise it before - lack of even awareness of imortance of snitation
    2. helth care etc
    3. sanitation- lacko fwater and snaitaion infasturcture as cant aford + what was tehre not rebuilt after eath quake
  • unstable gove
    1. poor responce
  • dependency on river
    1. use rice padi feids for food which were flooded with contam water + river to transport goods
  • no imunity
    1. not expirence ( not endemic to area) so lack of inumity
  • polulation
    1. Haiti, Port-au-Prince capital ( mill peopel live there ) - 10th of population
    2. speratly most pop depend on Artibonite River (320K) in lenth - allowed for quick spred and continous flow ( although not port-au- prince)

    2. 80% bellow pov line
    3. 40% without acess tobasic health care
    4. poorest coutnry in the west
113
Q

why was haiti chorella significnat / very sad

A
  • chorella is easly treated by rehydrating and othe basic medical aid so 14,000 shouldnt have dies

119
Q

case study for an \EDd expirencing incresed disease risk / from polution

A

Delhi - capital of india

120
Q

when is smog in delhi most prevelan t and why

A
  • ( winter mounths and the dryy season)
  • late October to early February
  • farmers often burn crop residues in late October and November, resulting in the release of smoke and pollutants into the air
  • in wet season water vapour will ondense around P25s and when it falls a srain will wash it out air - links to the water cycle
  • Diwali Celebrations: The festival of Diwali, usually celebrated in October or November, involves the bursting of firecrackers. The resulting emissions from fireworks can worsen air quality and contribute to the smog - less signifcant
  • where cold air gets trapped close to the ground, preventing the dispersion of pollutant
  • more cars on the road in wintre perhaps
  • Temperature inversions in wintre - coller air may be trapped near surface while walmer air above, this means polutions arnt cleared
121
Q

how might disease caused from polution be reuduced from climate change ?

A
  • incresed presipitaion
    1. water vapour condenses around P25s and when it falls as rain wasghes them out the air
122
Q

what shoudl you call polutants

A

P2.5s not P25s

vecotors

134
Q

huamn factors taht effect malaria in etheopia

A
  • deprivation
  • this is jsut about the most significnat factor that efefct all othe factors
  • resources
    1. lack of health care servsied as gov poor
    2. lack of doctors 1 doc per 5000 people
    3. however now pharma comapies seloign mediction act cost value - still expenive
  • eduction
    1. peopel arnt aware of dangers or hwo to protect themself _ e,g dont work at nigth and sllep outside
    2. lack of doctors 1 doc per 5000 people
  • stage of developmet
    1. 75% work in primary sector- workign outside, exposed to vector
    2. individuals cant aford preventative things like mosquito nets or pestiside house sprays
  • however etehopia doe have free basic health acre
    1. lack of facillitys and care to be effectiev
  • missused of marlia drugs
    1. parisights becoming more resilliant - inadiquit dosage so parisight adaps and survivives
  • working conditions
  • majority primary secotor - outside exposed to vector, harvising tking place after dark when coller but vectors more active - also farmers will sleep in feilds
  • urbansisation
    1. more mosquito ( vector breading grounds0
    2. addis ababa 4.8 mill pop
    3. incresed pop density - fatsr spred
  • population movemtn - (migration + flows of peopel place)
    1. week popiltical power to prevent interegional migration - results in migrnat flows between countries making it hard to readicate for a particular nation- also in africa alot of nighbouring countries where as autrailia could eradicat epartyly as its an isolated iland.
    2. intaregioanl migration from lowland rural aread to highland urban ( economic migranst ) - spred where want before.
  • **irrigattion schemes ** ( link with water cycle and huamn intervention with it )
  • irrigation cannels to uban areas dry out in heat. this leads to more breaing grounds for the mosquito vectors
135
