Through the example of the H5N1 virus, explain
how diseases are fast spreading due to
globalization and increased movement of
people.
Write short explanatory notes on how change of lifestyles and modernization contribute to the spread of diseases under the following concepts/topics:
through food production,
ability to store food longer,
increasingly domesticated animals,
increased consumption of raw foods,
the worldwide trade of agricultural products
through food production: Here you should focus on how modern processes contribute to the spread of diseases. For example, Modern processes involved in food production increase the risk of food contamination with pathogenic microorganisms. This can come from machinery used for food processing or food handlers. The answer given should have sufficient points for marks allocated. Your explanations can be supported by examples of microorganisms or diseases.
ability to store food longer: growth of microorganisms in food stored for extended period. Consider factors such as temperature fluctuation, poor packaging etc.
increasingly domesticated animals: How an increase in…
