Emerging Diseases,antibiotic Resistance, And Biosecurity

Question 1

What are the two types of emerging disease?

Answer 1

Newly recognized diseases that have not previously been observed
Ex. Covid19

Known diseases that have increased in incidence or expanded their geographic, host, or vector range

Question 2

How many emerging diseases are zoonotic?

Answer 2

MOST
Over 65%

Question 3

What type of zoonotic disease has the highest rate of incidence?

Answer 3

Most zoonotic diseases, in order of incidence
•Bacteria
•Helminth
•Virus
•Protozoa

Question 4

What are some examples of short lived emerging diseases?
Why do they die out so fast sometimes?

Answer 4

MERS-CoV
Infected from camels to human
SARS (sudden acute respiratory system)
West Nile Virus

Why did they die?
*It may kill the host too fast
*Hard to jump hosts
*Vaccines

Question 5

Human factors involved in the emergence of disease

Answer 5

Climate change

Increased number and exposure to vectors
*Mosquitoes moving north
*Longer seasons leading to more ticks

Changes in land use (more wildlife contact)

Socio-economic factors (ability to travel)

Vaccine hesitancy
