This section continues with the study of infectious diseases. The diseases in this section are
either commonly known diseases, such as ringworm or athlete’s foot, or are considered
reportable diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis or Lyme disease. For those diseases, the
Centers for Disease Control recommends that incidences of these diseases be reported to the
state health department and the CDC. The CDC tracks diseases such as rabies, botulism, e-coli,
or anthrax to prevent the spread of them or to reduce the risks of the diseases to individuals.
Learn more about these common infectious diseases and why states and the federal
government require them to be reported.

Mycoses, or fungal diseases, are generally mild in humans. With a high level of immunity to
fungi, the body’s natural defenses can usually prevent or limit any infection. Some, like ringworm,
if treated, can be cured or controlled. Others invade the body and may require long term or
repeated treatments. Two of the most common fungal diseases are athlete’s foot and ringworm.

Tuberculosis is a bacterial respiratory disease that was referred to as consumption in your great
grandparents' day because it “consumed” the body. Although treatable and once thought almost
eradicated, TB is again on the rise. It strikes those without resources, such as the poor or people
in under-developed nations and those with weak immune systems, like HIV patients. why is TB

Rabies, smallpox and bird flu are all caused by a virus and are extremely dangerous to humans.
Because they are caused by a virus, we can only treat the symptoms. We must rely on the
body’s natural immune system to fight off the infection. Prevention is very important for these
viral infections.

A vector is an insect that transmits disease. Vector-transmitted diseases can be quite serious,
but treatable if diagnosed early. Lyme disease – transmitted by a deer tick – is easily mistaken
for the flu or other mild infections. It can be quite debilitating. Malaria – transmitted by a mosquito
– was a common problem for soldiers who fought in the Pacific during World War II. Even today
more than one million people die from malaria each year, mostly in tropical continents with poor
economic conditions.
West Nile virus is also transmitted by mosquitoes. It can produce mild flu like symptoms or
severe muscle weakness and confusion resulting from encephalitis, which is a swelling of the
brain. In its more severe forms, because it can be mistaken for other illnesses, it can be fatal.
Controlling malaria and West Nile virus means controlling the mosquitoes that transmit them.
