what are communicable diseases
0:02
communicable diseases are illnesses
0:04
caused by infectious agents that can
0:06
spread from person to
0:08
person these infectious agents include
0:10
bacteria viruses fungi and prozzoa these
0:13
diseases can spread through various
0:15
transmission methods including direct
0:17
contact respiratory routes and
0:20
waterborne
0:21
transmission disease transmission
0:23
involves four key components first there
0:26
must be a source of infection such as
0:28
infected humans animals or contaminated
0:31
environments second there must be a mode
0:34
of transmission which is how the
0:35
infectious agent travels from the source
0:38
to a new host third there must be a
0:41
susceptible host someone who lacks
0:43
immunity or has vulnerable health status
0:46
finally there must be a conducive
0:48
environment that allows the pathogen to
0:50
survive and spread
0:53
let's see how these components interact
0:56
to cause disease spread it starts with a
0:58
source of infection such as a person
1:00
carrying a pathogen the pathogen is
1:03
transmitted through a specific mode of
1:05
transmission and reaches a susceptible
1:07
host who lacks immunity all of this
1:10
occurs within an environment that
1:12
supports the survival and spread of the
1:14
pathogen when all four components are
1:17
present communicable diseases can spread
1:19
through populations
1:22
understanding these components is
1:24
crucial for developing effective
1:26
prevention and control
1:28
strategies communicable diseases can be
1:31
categorized in multiple ways helping us
1:33
understand their transmission and
1:36
characteristics first let's look at
1:38
categories based on transmission methods
1:41
interic diseases affect the intestinal
1:43
tract and include conditions like
1:45
chalera and hepatitis A foodborne
1:48
illnesses are transmitted through
1:49
contaminated food with common examples
1:51
being salmonella and ecoli infections
1:54
waterbornne diseases spread through
1:56
contaminated water including giardiosis
1:59
and cryptoperidiosis bloodborne
2:01
pathogens are transmitted through blood
2:03
and other body fluids such as HIV and
2:06
hepatitis B sexually transmitted
2:08
diseases are primarily spread through
2:10
sexual contact including chlamyia and
2:13
syphilis
2:15
now let's examine how diseases are
2:17
categorized based on the type of
2:18
pathogen viral diseases are caused by
2:21
viruses which require host cells to
2:23
replicate common examples include
2:25
influenza and co 19 bacterial diseases
2:29
are caused by bacteria single-sellled
2:31
microorganisms examples include
2:33
tuberculosis and strep throat fungal
2:36
diseases are caused by fungi including
2:38
yeasts and molds examples include
2:40
candidasis and athletes foot protozoal
2:43
diseases are caused by single-sellled
2:45
protozoans malaria and toxoplasmosis are
2:48
common examples parasitic diseases are
2:50
caused by larger parasitic organisms
2:53
examples include infections from
2:54
tapeworms and
2:56
roundorms it's important to note that
2:59
many diseases fall into multiple
3:01
categories they can be classified by
3:03
both their transmission method and the
3:06
type of pathogen for example hepatitis A
3:09
is both a viral disease based on its
3:11
pathogen and an entic or foodborne
3:13
disease based on how it spreads
3:15
understanding these categories helps
3:17
medical professionals diagnose treat and
3:20
prevent the spread of communicable
3:23
diseases direct contact transmission is
3:26
a common way for communicable diseases
3:28
to spread from person to person direct
3:30
contact transmission occurs when
3:32
disease-causing pathogens transfer
3:35
directly from an infected person to
3:37
someone who is susceptible to
3:40
infection there are several types of
3:42
direct contact transmission including
3:44
touching kissing sexual contact and
3:46
exposure to bodily
3:48
fluids when physical contact occurs
3:51
between an infected person and a
3:53
susceptible individual pathogens can
3:55
transfer from one person to another
3:59
several diseases spread through direct
4:01
contact cold sores caused by the herpes
4:04
virus can spread through skin contact or
4:06
kissing scabies is caused by tiny mites
4:09
that transfer during prolonged skin
4:11
contact many sexually transmitted
4:14
infections require intimate contact for
4:17
transmission preventing direct contact
4:20
transmission involves several strategies
4:22
wash hands frequently with soap and
4:24
water avoid contact with those who are
4:26
infected use protective barriers during
4:28
sexual contact cover wounds and skin
4:32
lesions and avoid sharing personal items
4:34
with
4:35
others direct contact transmission of
4:38
diseases can be effectively prevented
4:41
through proper hygiene and appropriate
4:43
behavioral
4:45
practices fecal oral and waterbornne
4:47
transmission occurs when pathogens in
4:49
human or animal waste contaminate food
4:52
water or surfaces the fecal oral
4:54
transmission cycle begins with an
4:56
infected person who sheds pathogens in
4:58
their feces these pathogens can then
5:00
contaminate water or food sources which
5:03
are consumed by a new host completing
5:06
the cycle of infection poor sanitation
5:09
infrastructure creates ideal conditions
5:11
for feal oral disease transmission
5:14
communities with inadequate toilets
5:16
contaminated drinking water limited
5:18
handwashing facilities and crowded
5:20
living conditions face the highest risk
5:23
several critical diseases spread through
5:25
the fecal oral route cholera causes
5:27
severe watery diarrhea and rapid
5:29
dehydration typhoid fever presents with
5:32
high fever and is caused by salmonella
5:34
typhi hepatitis A infects the liver
5:37
causing inflammation and jaundice
5:39
rotoirus is a leading cause of severe
5:42
childhood diarrhea
5:44
worldwide in communities with poor
5:46
infrastructure waterbornne diseases
5:48
spread rapidly when multiple households
5:50
share contaminated water sources
5:53
pathogens cycle through the community
5:55
inadequate sewage treatment and waste
5:57
disposal further contaminate water
5:59
supplies while limited clean water makes
6:02
proper hygiene difficult prevention of
6:05
fecal oral diseases focuses on several
6:07
key areas improving access to clean
6:10
water through proper treatment systems
6:12
developing adequate sanitation
6:14
infrastructure promoting handwashing
6:16
with soap and ensuring safe food
6:18
handling
6:21
practices vectorbor and foodborne
6:24
transmission represent two significant
6:26
ways that infectious diseases spread
6:28
vectorbor diseases are transmitted by
6:30
living organisms primarily insects that
6:33
carry pathogens from one host to another
6:36
the most common vectors include
6:37
mosquitoes ticks and flies each can
6:40
transmit different types of
6:42
pathogens vectorborn diseases are
6:45
responsible for over 700,000 deaths
6:47
annually major examples include malaria
6:50
deni fever lyme disease and zika
6:54
virus the vector transmission process
6:57
involves three main steps first a vector
7:00
such as a mosquito feeds on an infected
7:02
host ingesting the pathogen the pathogen
7:05
then multiplies or develops within the
7:07
vector finally when the vector feeds on
7:10
a new host it transmits the pathogen
7:12
potentially causing
7:18
infection now let's examine food born
7:20
transmission where pathogens spread
7:22
through contaminated food and beverages
7:25
three major foodborne pathogens are
7:27
salmonella found in raw eggs and poultry
7:30
ecoli common in undercooked beef and
7:33
lististeria which can contaminate dairy
7:35
products and deli
7:37
meats food contamination can occur at
7:40
multiple points from farm to table
7:43
initial contamination often occurs at
7:45
the source where pathogens from soil
7:47
water or animal waste can enter the food
7:50
supply during processing and
7:51
distribution improper handling
7:54
crosscontamination or inadequate
7:56
cleaning can introduce or spread
7:57
pathogens in food preparation areas poor
8:00
hygiene inadequate cooking temperatures
8:03
or crosscontamination between raw and
8:05
ready to eat foods can allow pathogens
8:08
to survive and multiply finally when
8:10
contaminated food is consumed it can
8:12
cause foodborne illness with symptoms
8:14
ranging from mild discomfort to severe
8:17
life-threatening conditions both
8:20
vectorbor and foodborne transmission
8:22
routes present significant public health
8:24
challenges and require specific
8:26
prevention strategies which we'll
8:29
explore in the next
8:34
section proper hand hygiene is one of
8:37
the most effective ways to prevent
8:38
disease
8:40
transmission follow these six key steps
8:42
for effective handwashing first wet your
8:45
hands with clean water then apply soap
8:48
and create a good lather scrub all
8:50
surfaces for at least 20 seconds make
8:53
sure to clean between your fingers and
8:54
under your nails rinse thoroughly with
8:56
clean water finally dry with a clean
8:59
towel studies show that proper
9:01
handashing can reduce respiratory
9:03
illnesses by 16 to
9:07
21% respiratory etiquette prevents the
9:09
spread of droplets when coughing or
9:11
sneezing always cover your mouth and
9:14
nose with your elbow when coughing or
9:16
sneezing using tissues to catch
9:18
respiratory droplets is also effective
9:21
if you're sick wearing a mask protects
9:23
others around you research indicates
9:26
proper respiratory etiquette can reduce
9:28
droplet spread by up to
9:31
80% vaccination is one of the most
9:34
effective preventive health measures
9:35
ever
9:36
developed vaccines provide individual
9:39
immunity against specific diseases they
9:42
also create herd immunity which protects
9:44
vulnerable community members vaccines
9:47
prevent severe disease complications and
9:49
reduce healthcare burdens ultimately
9:52
they help eradicate diseases globally
9:54
according to the World Health
9:55
Organization childhood vaccines prevent
9:58
2 to three million deaths
10:01
annually avoiding close contact with
10:03
sick individuals reduces your risk of
10:06
contracting communicable diseases
10:08
maintain distance from people showing
10:10
symptoms of illness if you're sick stay
10:12
home to protect others during disease
10:15
outbreaks avoid crowded places when
10:17
necessary practice social distancing of
10:20
1 to 2 m during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic
10:24
social distancing measures reduced
10:26
influenza transmission rates by
10:30
23% safe food preparation practices
10:32
prevent foodborne illnesses always wash
10:35
your hands before handling food
10:37
clean all food preparation surfaces and
10:40
utensils thoroughly keep raw and cooked
10:42
foods separate to prevent
10:44
crosscontamination cook foods to proper
10:46
temperatures to kill pathogens
10:48
refrigerate perishable foods promptly
10:51
according to the Centers for Disease
10:53
Control following proper food safety
10:55
practices could prevent up to 40% of
10:58
foodborne
11:00
illnesses let's look at the overall
11:02
effectiveness of these personal
11:03
prevention strategies when consistently
11:06
applied these simple prevention measures
11:08
work together to significantly reduce
11:10
disease transmission studies show they
11:13
can lower overall transmission risk by
11:15
50 to
11:17
70% by incorporating these strategies
11:20
into your daily routine you can protect
11:23
yourself and help prevent the spread of
11:25
communicable diseases community level
11:28
prevention strategies are crucial for
11:29
controlling the spread of communicable
11:32
diseases across populations
11:35
key community prevention strategies
11:37
include proper shelter and site planning
11:40
clean water supply systems adequate
11:42
sanitation facilities vector control
11:44
programs and environmental
11:47
management proper shelter and site
11:50
planning prevents disease transmission
11:52
by reducing overcrowding ensuring
11:54
adequate ventilation and separating
11:56
waste disposal areas from living spaces
11:59
and water sources
12:02
clean water supply systems are essential
12:04
for preventing waterbornne diseases
12:07
effective systems include water source
12:09
protection treatment facilities that
12:11
kill pathogens and distribution networks
12:14
that prevent
12:16
recontamination adequate sanitation
12:18
facilities break the fecal oral disease
12:20
transmission cycle proper systems
12:23
include toilets connected to treatment
12:25
facilities that safely process waste
12:27
before disposal preventing environmental
12:29
contamination
12:32
vector control programs reduce disease
12:34
transmission by controlling populations
12:36
of mosquitoes flies and other disease
12:39
carrying insects effective programs
12:41
combine insecticide spraying habitat
12:43
modification through drainage and
12:45
personal protection methods like bed
12:49
nets environmental management addresses
12:52
disease risk factors in the community
12:54
environment this includes proper waste
12:56
management eliminating standing water
12:58
where vectors breed and creating cleaner
13:01
living spaces to improve overall public
13:04
health community interventions have
13:06
proven highly effective in rural
13:09
communities combined water and
13:10
sanitation improvements reduce diarrheal
13:13
diseases by up to
13:15
85% in urban settings comprehensive
13:18
vector control programs decrease deni
13:20
fever cases by 75%
13:24
community education and participation
13:26
are essential for successful disease
13:28
prevention when communities are actively
13:30
involved in identifying needs designing
13:33
interventions and implementing solutions
13:36
programs become more effective and
13:39
sustainable for maximum impact community
13:42
level prevention requires an integrated
13:44
approach when shelter planning water
13:47
systems sanitation facilities vector
13:50
control and environmental management
13:51
work together they create resilient
13:54
healthy communities with dramatically
13:56
lower disease
13:58
rates as we look to the future several
14:01
major challenges threaten our progress
14:03
in controlling communicable diseases
14:06
antimicrobial resistance occurs when
14:08
bacteria viruses and other pathogens
14:10
evolve to resist treatments this
14:13
threatens our ability to treat common
14:15
infections climate change alters the
14:18
patterns of disease transmission as
14:20
temperatures rise disease carrying
14:22
vectors like mosquitoes and ticks expand
14:25
into new
14:26
regions over the past two decades we've
14:29
witnessed the emergence and spread of
14:31
several new infectious diseases these
14:34
outbreaks remind us of the constant
14:36
threat posed by emerging pathogens
14:40
human activities significantly
14:42
contribute to disease emergence
14:44
deforestation brings humans into contact
14:46
with new pathogens global travel allows
14:49
diseases to spread rapidly and
14:51
urbanization creates dense populations
14:53
where diseases can easily
14:56
transmit despite these challenges there
14:58
is hope continuing research and
15:01
innovation help us develop new tools to
15:03
fight disease global surveillance
15:05
systems provide early warnings of
15:07
outbreaks and coordinated action between
15:10
countries strengthens our collective
15:12
response by addressing these challenges
15:14
together we can build more resilient
15:17
health systems capable of detecting
15:19
preventing and responding to future
15:22
disease threats
