What is HEALTH?
Health is more than simply the absence of disease.
It can be defined as your physical, mental and
social wellbeing. If you are in good health you are…
•Free from disease
•Able to carry out normal physical and mental tasks
•Well fed, with a balanced diet
•Usually happy, with a positive outlook
•Suitably housed with proper sanitation
•Well integrated into society
Draw a table with 4 columns showing what
type of microbe causes these infectious
diseases…

Match the key word to the definition
1. The
rate of occurrence of new cases of a particular
disease in a population being studied
2. A branch of medical science that deals with the
incidence, distribution, and control of disease in a
population
3. A micro-organism which causes disease
4. The total number of cases of a disease in a given
population at a specific time.
5. Anything which impairs the normal functioning of the
body.
6. ‘A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity’
(World Health Organisation)
7. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in
a different organism while contributing nothing to the
survival of its host, even causing it damage

Malaria
Plasmodium lifecycle
• Zygotes of the parasite undergo a stage of asexual reproduction in the
mosquito’s gut wall
• The parasite returns to the blood and invades the red blood cells
• Here the parasite produces gametes (sexual stage)
• More reproduction within RBCs causes these cells to swell and burst (lysis)
• The mosquito feeds on the blood of a non-infected human
• Anopheles mosquito ingests a blood meal from an infected human
•
Plasmodium is transferred from the human to the stomach of the mosquito
• Plasmodium transferred from mosquito to human
• Plasmodium migrate to the human’s liver to undergo asexual reproduction
• Fertilisation occurs

Can you explain each of the following trends in
epidemiology of disease? (use pg 167 to help if unsure)

People who live in crowded conditions are at most risk
of contracting TB
From the middle of the 19th century the incidence of TB
has decreased
In the late 1980s there was a dramatic increase of TB
in the UK
There are certain strains of antibiotic resistant TB
emerging
