HLT 555 Week 4 Benchmark Assignment, Global Warming and Vector-Borne Disease Paper 1 (Malaria)
Per Friis (2012) a vector is ….as “an insect or any living carrier that transports an infectious agent from an infected individual or its wastes to a susceptible individual or its food or immediate surroundings” and as such the diseases they cause is termed vector-borne diseases. This group of diseases includes malaria, Lyme disease, leishmaniasis, Plague, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, transmitted by vectors such as sand flies, mosquito, biting midges, ticks, mice and rats (Friis, 2012).It would be interesting to explore the vector disease Malaria……………..Continued (5 Pages with References)
HLT 555 Week 4 Benchmark Assignment, Global Warming and Vector-Borne Disease Paper 2 (Lyme)
Sickness brought about infectious microorganisms which is ……to individuals via parasitic arthropods is what is termed as a “Vector Borne Disease”. Bugs or 8 legged creatures are arthropods and these act as vectors. For example: blood sucking insects like mosquitoes, lice, gnawing flier and parasitic 8-legged creature like ticks and bugs are classified as vectors.
According to Mead (2015) Lyme disease is the vector borne disease …..in this paper.

HLT 555 Week 4 Benchmark Assignment, Global Warming and Vector-Borne Disease Paper 3 (Dengue)
Dengue is one of the most infectious vector borne disease that results due to mosquito bite. This virus is closely ….to the virus that causes yellow fever and West Nile Infection. Through epidemiological studies, it has been proved that dengue is dependent on the factor of temperature, specifically in the urban areas. Hence, climate change is one of the major reasons that spreads this vector borne disease. The occurrence of this disease mostly takes place in tropical regions of the world. These include Southeast Asia, Mexico………………………Continued (06 Pages with References)
