Question

55 POINTS!!!! In a recent Scientific American article..the authors state that 33% of humans are carrying the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria-many without actually getting sick. In addition, 50% of the human population is carrying the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (which causes stomach ulcers) and 50% is carrying Staphylococcus aureus (which causes skin infections). Knowing that carriers are individuals who often do not show any visible signs of disease, what challenges can you think of for health care officials trying to control these types of communicable diseases?

Answer 1

Health care officials can prevent the expansion of communicable diseases by educating people, and by helping them in some aspects like:

A) Proposal disposal of Garbage
B) Proper disposal of human and animal excreta
C) Use of Smokeless chullah (stoves)
D) Protection of food Articles from polutants
E) Provision of safe and germ-free drink water
F) For Self-cleanness (like regular bathing, washing teeth, eyes, hair etc.)

Hope this helps!
