Preventing the Spread of Disease
Disease is an illness that affects the proper functioning of the mind or body.
A communicable disease is one that can be passed from one person to another.
A non communicable disease is one that can’t be passed.

Causes of Communicable Diseases
Pathogens are tiny organisms that cause disease.
An infection is a condition that occurs when pathogens enter the body, multiply, and damage cells.
Bacteria are tiny one celled organisms that live nearly everywhere.

Bacterial Diseases

Many bacterial diseases can be treated with antibiotics. Viral infections can’t. They are now treated with prescribed medication.

Viral Disease
A virus is the smallest disease-causing organism.
Examples:ColdFluHepatitisMeaslesMumpsChicken pox

Other types of Pathogens
Fungi are primitive life-forms that feed of organic materials. Example- Ringworm
Protozoa are single-celled organisms that are usually harmless but that can cause certain diseases. Example-Malaria
Rickettsias- disease causing organisms that resemble bacteria but multiply like viruses. Example- Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

How are Pathogens Spread?
Direct contact-body fluids, kissingIndirect contact-sharing drinking glassesContact with a Vector (an insect)Other contacts- food, water, undercooked
meat.

Preventing the spread of disease
Good personal hygieneIf sick determine the contagious period.

The Body’s Defenses Against Infection
First line of Defense-stop the entry. Eyes, skin, stomach, mucous membranes and saliva.
The immune system is a combination of body defenses made up of cells, tissues, and organs that fight off pathogens and disease.
Immunity is your bodies ability to fight off disease.

The Lymphatic System
A secondary circulatory system that helps the body fight pathogens and maintains a fluid balance.
White blood cells are called lymphocytes.B cells produced in the bone marrow, they
help develop immunity to pathogens.T cells are produced in the thymus gland,
they attack invading pathogens.Immunity is present at birth.Vaccinations-figure 17.3, pg. 453
