Diseases: Malaria or Cholera

Page history last edited by Kevin 12 years, 11 months ago

 

Harrison / Solah / Kevin / Jacky / Hannah / Noah 

 

  1. As a group you will co-construct your leaning about your chosen Global topic. 
  2. Over the next 5 days, you will research your topic in relation to PEPS and using the Success Criteria as a guide. 
  3. All research will have to be sourced and put into jot notes. 

 

1.  Physical-Physical Landscape of the Earth

(location, country size, time zone, natural resources, important physical landforms, climate)

 

For Malaria:

-Malaria is transmitted from  mosquitoes infected with a parasite called Plasmodium.

-Mosquitoes breed in water which can pollute the water, so when people drink it, it can cause Malaria 

-out of 11 countries of the Region, 10 countries are under Malaria pandemic

-Malaria is spread when a forest in Africa is deforested releasing the misquotes carrying plasmodium.(A.K.A malaria)

-Malaria is a widespread in the tropical subtropical areas including sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Americas  

-plasmodium is a genus of parasite protists

-The genus plasmodium was described by Ettore Marchaifava and Angelo Celli. 

-Angelo Celli was an Italian physician and zoologist who studied malaria.

-In 1880, a man named Ettore Marchaifava helped him study a new protozoan discovered by Alphanse Laveran and which they called plasmodium. 

-Plasmodium was founded by a man named Alphonse Laveran 

-258,000 people in Pakistan were infected with cholera, malaria, or pneumonia

For Cholera:

-Cholera is a water born disease and can be contacted if drank from an infected water source.

-Cholera is an infection caused by the bacteria Vibrio Cholerae, people get infected by cholera when they eat or drink food that is infected by vibrio cholerae.

-In northern Europe, resorts were closed because of the affects of algae. This can also cause a disease.

-during the years of 1999 to 2003 contributed to the swift spread of mosquitoes that transmit the virus.

-giant flood in Pakistan was infected with cholera

-flood hit the northwestern parts

-flood hit in August

-258,000 people in Pakistan were infected with cholera, malaria, or pneumonia

 

 

2.  Economic- Forms of Trade, work or any money related activities

(currency, GDP, major exports and imports, literacy rate etc.)

 

For Malaria:

-In Africa in general they pay an approximately 12 billion dollars to research a cure for Malaria, per year.

-Sometimes we can do runs to raise money for a cure for malaria 

- the stop malaria project is a project where money is donated to try to stop malaria

-PSI like stop malaria donates money to stop many diseases

-Some governments are not strong enough to stop Malaria because they sometimes like to save money and not help people with Malaria.

For Cholera:

-people raised money for the memorial of the people who died of cholera

-Cholera like some other water diseases will cost the government billions of money to clean the water

-Cholera affects tourism and it decrease tax revenues

-Many people are raising money for a vaccine for cholera

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Political- Government Activities, laws, or any symbols related to these activities

(forms of government, capital city, political leaders)

 

For Malaria:

-the government is trying to stop Malaria by making a program called "stop malaria"

- the stop malaria project started in 2008 and is being attempted to be finished in 2013

- the stop malaria project is a project where money is donated to try to stop malaria

-PSI is a large corporation that targets many diseases like malaria, and HIV and is trying to stop it

-PSI like stop malaria donates money to stop many diseases

-Some governments are not strong enough to stop Malaria because they sometimes like to save money and not help people with Malaria. 

For Cholera:

-The government is trying to stop cholera by advertising programs for people who want to participate in it such as runs and other stuff

-Some places don't have a government to stop cholera. 

-The Dominican Republic is trying to stop Cholera. 

 

 

 

4.  Social- People and the cultures, beliefs and traditions that define them

(languages, religion, celebrations, recreation, values, immigration, population etc.) 

 

For Malaria:

-Malaria means bad air in Italian

-Malaria can be healed only if the person gets it sooner 

-In Africa, malaria kills more people every year more than HIV and Aids do.

-in the Netherlands, malaria was a big problem in the 1960s, lots of people died between, 1960-1969.

- malaria kills 1-3 million children a year every 30 sec a Child dies of malaria 90 per cent of malaria cases acre in sub Saharan Africa and Asia

-malaria is responsible for a staggering amount of deaths over children the majority of children are under five     

-Malaria was named by the Romain's (mala) air (aire) floating up from nearby swamps is in a fact caused by a single parasite called plasmodium   

For Cholera:.

-1 879 people died from cholera in four different countries.

- Oral re hydration solutions are used to rehydrate cholera affected people with a combination of salt, sugar, and water.

-4147 infected in Haiti

-292 are dead in Haiti

-Cholera is spreading around at an alarming rate

If I am correct guys what my sister says is that cholera is a disease where you begin to have diarrhea and vomiting. When this happens the disease could continue and make you have more diarrhea and vomiting till you dehydrate yourself forcibly but unwillingly. When you're dehydrated you have a lack of water and you need water to live so in the end you will DIE. So this disease is very deadly if not treated. Fortunately you can help prevent worsening by doing a process called ' Oral Rehydration Solution' a solution of sugar and salt water to rehydrate the infected.

Everyone needs to continue to research and highlight in your own words the key ideas in jot notes from what you are reading (books or websites). Your research at this time should not include inferences. Use PEPS as a lense to guide you through your reading.

at 7:03 pm on Feb 13, 2011

What does PsI stand for? who typed it
