Cryptosporidium Hominis Essay

Poor hand hygiene - spread of germs from one patient to another or spread for hands to surfaces.

Some of the most emerging and re-emerging agents of the waterborne diseases are; Cholera which is caused by the ingestion of water that is infected by Vibrio Cholerae. This is a painless form of diarrhea characterized by watery stool. Dysentery which is caused by Escherichia Coli. Typhoid that is caused by Salmonella typhi which is usually accompanied by fever is yet another disease. Gastroenteritis diseases caused by Giardia and Cryptosporodia and some species of hepatitis are also known to be caused by water (CDC, 2011). These disease causing agents find their way into the human body through infected water that people from the poorer communities in Uganda use and have no option of cleaner water.

Fungi are multi-celled organisms that form a third Kingdom of life, along with the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom.

To help the prevention of infection spreading is by knowing the method of washing your hand because we carry most bacteria sue to the open air that we come in contact with. For example we use are hands to shake hands with someone holding or touching objects. When you are performing any form of hand hygiene you will need to make sure that you have washed your hand with anti-bacterial liquid soap; this is to help prevent any bacteria which we already have on our hands. In all health and social care settings an automatic liquid dispenser should be placed so that when washing hands any individual doesn’t touch or need to even sneeze any part of the liquid

Very simple steps can be taken in order to prevent the virus, or stop it from spreading. Hand washing with hot soapy water is a must, especially if you believe you may have handled an infected surface. Most importantly, if you are not feeling well or believe you may have been infected, avoid preparing food for others and always make sure to stay home when you are sick to avoid giving it to others.

It is not known how the B hominis infection spreads. The number of people infected seems to increase in areas where sanitation and personal cleanliness

canis can cause an enlarged abdomen, diarrhea, and vomiting in puppies whereas adult dogs do not show any signs except for diarrhea (Bassert and Thomas 452). T. cati do not produce clinical signs in both kittens and adult cats except for abdominal distention, dehydration, diarrhea, and rough hair coat in heavy infections (Bassert and Thomas 452). T. leonina in puppies and kittens shows similar clinical signs to those of T. cati (Bassert and Thomas 452). B. procyonis causes little pathology in the small intestine of the raccoon and does not produce clinical signs in dogs and cats (Bassert and Thomas 454). However, it can cause severe neurologic signs and death if the animal ingests an egg with second stage larva (infective) that can migrate through the intestinal wall and to the neural tissues, such as the brain and spinal cord (Bassert and Thomas

Water-borne diseases are caused by the ingestion of water contaminated by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites. These pathogens are spread through the feces or urine of an infected individual (africaneeds). The most common diseases are cholera, guinea worm and typhoid. People can easily contract these diseases if there is no system of sewage collection and treatment. In fact, almost 2.5 billion people worldwide do not have access to adequate sanitation (UN water). Climate change can also impact the water crisis in Africa. Water is necessary for survival, and when areas get

An individual must be sure to wash their hands after expose to public places and avoid contacts with the mouth, eyes, and nose as these areas are prone to possible exposure of the virus. Before preparing a meal, individuals must wash their hands to expel any possible viral particles as poor sanitation leads to infection.

In response to these comments, it was then that the FDA added three additional pathogens to the list of qualifying pathogens: Coccidiodes species, Cryptococcus species, and Helicobacter pylori. Coccidiosis species, Cryptococcus species, and Helicobacter pylori. Coccidiosis is a disease caused by fungi from the genes of Cryptococcus that affect living organisms such as humans and animals. Living organisms usually contract this by inhaling the fungi, thus resulting in lung infection that can travel to the brain causing further harm for the organism. Two individuals were first identified with the fungus between 1894 and 1895. The Cryptococci’s can be found worldwide. The main way that disease is spread is also through inhalation with the particular fungus that happens to be associated with several species of bird, particularly old pigeon waste and bat guano.

Do not use regular kitchen utensils (Advice on Contaminants in Game). Thoroughly wash any knives, butchering tools, work surfaces, hands and any other part of the body that has been exposed to animal tissues, blood, urine or feces with soap and water (Advice on Contaminants in Game). Equipment should then be rinsed with boiling water or sanitized with a chemical sanitizer. Additional precautions against CWD include soaking cleaned knives and tools for one hour in a fresh solution of household chlorine bleach mixed with an equal amount of water, air dry, then rinsing with clean water (Advice on Contaminants in Game). Wiping down cleaned counters and other surfaces with 50 percent bleach solution and allowing them to air dry also helps prevent the spread of the potential infections (Advice on Contaminants in Game). If bleach contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately wash affected areas with water and remove affected clothing (Advice on Contaminants in Game). When cleaning with bleach or harsh chemicals, make sure enough fresh air is available because bleach may cause eye, nose, or throat irritation (Advice on Contaminants in Game). Also, remember to air dry all bleached items. This will help kill off as many germs as

should try to prevent the spread of germs by using good personal hygiene. Lucy Moore, a nurse

Prevention and control are done by avoiding direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person and

Prevention methods include frequent hand washing before eating and preparing meals. International travelers to developing countries should use bottled water or boiled water for drinking and brushing teeth, and avoid ice cubes. It is better to eat well-cooked heated food and to peel raw fruits and vegetables. Surveillance and control procedures should include: providing safe drinking water and proper disposal of sanitary waste, monitoring water beds

     Person to person transmission can occur through poor hygiene habits or by handling human waste. Daycares and nursing homes are at a high risk for person to person transmission because of the high risk of handling infected feces. Family outbreaks are common, as are outbreaks among children at nurseries (Donnelly & Stentiford, 1997).
