IPCC THEORY According to Watts of IPCC Theory (2001), climate change is forecasted to perilously affect the distribution of species, including those transmitting human diseases specifically dengue.
COMRIE THEORY In the statement of Comrie Theory (1993), the risk of dengue disease under climate change Mosquitoes are vectors for many human diseases including malaria, encephalitis-causing viruses, yellow fever, Chikungunya and dengue fever. Much is known about the dynamics of mosquito populations, and a number of models exist for predicting the spread of mosquito-borne disease.
NHS THEORY As to what the NHS Theory (2016) has been stated, is a viral infection that is continuously spreading all throughout the world especially in tropic and sub-tropic

Dengue is defined and supported according to its impacts to humans. According to IPCC theory, climatic conditions affect epidemic diseases specifically dengue. Our country, Philippines, is suffering from climate change which is timely nowadays. The emergence of dengue virus is highly increasing due to our weather condition which is the same as what the Comrie theory uttered. In line with this, NHS (2016) stated that Dengue is a viral infection that is continuously spreading all throughout the world especially in tropic and sub-tropic countries. It includes the Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Pacific and also the Caribbean. In addition to what NHS has been said, Finnegan (2013) stated that it is transferred by a mosquito bite basically the Aedes aegypti and rarely for Aedes albopictus. For Mayo Clinic (2016) dengue fever (DF) causes high fever, intense joint pains, and severe headache. It is caused by any of the four closely related viruses or serotypes which are dengue virus 1 to 4 (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). The different stages of dengue or dengue fever primarily targets adolescent. According to Cleveland Clinic Children’s, adolescence starts at 12 to 18 years of age which is the same with the statement given by AAAS in the middle childhood and early …show more content…

Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? Well 11 years old Salva has. During the Second Sudanese Civil War, Salva was one of several millions of people in danger. Salva was in school one day when gunfire erupted outside.
Valley Fever is predominantly in individuals with weakened immune systems like elderly or pregnant women, those who are exposed to dust and soil, or of African-American and Filipino descent. The increase in awareness of the symptoms associated with Valley Fever has improved treatments and prevention. Educating the population on the symptoms and risks can prevent worsening symptoms and spread of infection to other body parts before it can get worst. There are various risks in the world today, but it is an individual’s duty to seek out proper medical attention and
In the story The Mosquito Solution the scientist took risks by releasing mosquitoes into Brazil’s community. “Despite the experiment’s scientific promise, many people regard the tiny insect as a harbinger of a world where animals are built by nameless scientist, nurtured in beakers, then set loose-with consequences, no matter how noble the intention… Which means the Moscamed team is willing to release the dengue disease no matter what the risk is.” (Reyes 99-103). The scientist released mosquitos around to
People may know about climate change and the drastic changes it is having on the environment, but what they may not be aware of is that another degree increase in the world’s average temperature will cause even bigger problems for people all over. Climate change is long term shifts in temperature and patterns in the weather. Greenhouse gasses, gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere causing it to warm up are at an all-time high due to humans and the amount of fossil fuels we use. The most crucial result of climate change is global health, but animal endangerment and the rise in sea levels are also very important effects.
Amidst all the chaos surrounding my childhood that consisted of adjusting to being the first generation to be born in the united states in my lineage, with parents who hardly knew any English and trying to make a life for their children, to perusing the American dream in America, I was blessed enough to have experienced first-hand compassion from other individuals that made the American dream possible for my family. Having being born in the states, it was important for my sisters and I to travel to Nigeria to visit our native home. Once there, my experience, in terms of the medical treatments, were not as advanced as that of America. Malaria is a commonly contacted disease that can be found in most of the western parts of Africa, and my younger

Have you ever heard of the famous “yellow fever” disease? If you were born right here in North America, you’ve probably never heard of it. Personally, in all my nineteen years I’ve only encountered the name a couple of times but never enough to care very much about it. This is because yellow fever primarily resides outside of North America, where there are harsh environments and extreme changes in social status. Places such as South America and Africa are frequently attacked by diseases, leaving people crippled from loss of strength and eventually even stealing their lives.
Yellow fever which is transmitted by a mosquito can cause: Fever, nausea, it can affect the kidneys and liver, and in most cases it causes death. In the story the people’s eyes and skin turn yellow hence the name “yellow” fever. Yellow fever has affected towns all over and doctors cannot get a grasp on it. The death and sickness gets so bad that people are told to stay inside and not leave for any circumstances other than to leave town. The death in the city rises from the hundreds to the thousands daily.

The book “The Weather Makers: The History and Future Impact of Climate Change” written by Tim Flanner pertains to predicting the global warming consequence on earth and species. In chapter 9, the unraveling world, the author talks about global warming and how it can have a long-lasting and far-reaching impact on our lives. He points out the substantial and rapid change of the climate and its connection with the effects of El Nino and La Nina are also uncovered. Climate change can be a major contributor as to where species live and how they interact. The changes can also be observed by the changing migration patterns of these species.
Personal Statement A frail little girl, who had contracted Malaria upon leaving her country of Nigeria, arrived to America with her family in the year 1996. That little girl was me. Upon my arrival, I received immense care and support from the doctors and nurses of Oakland 's Children 's Hospital. My doctors informed my parents that we came to America just in time to receive proper treatment.
Climate change is the most rising issue of the modern world that is threatening our planet from the last few decades. In the simplest definition, the term climate change refers to the rising of the planet’s temperature, particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. It should be noted that in the last few decades, many scientists and ecologists has discovered the Earth temperature is increasing at an alarming rate and has affected the planet in numerous of way. The constant change in the climate due to various causes is threatening the preservation of the Earth and its human life. It should be noted that the climate change is linked with several of the human activities that are further directed towards the global warming.
Researches show that the average temperature of the planet has been changed during the last decades, as a result, many problems join with it and climate change is considered as the biggest problem around the world. Climate change is one of the results of global warming and it has so many negative disadvantage impacts on earth, including; increasing the events of natural
Global climate change constitutes arguably the single most important threat to mankind. From the onset of the industrial revolution, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), including carbon dioxide (CO2) have increasingly built up in the atmosphere, causing the climate to warm up slowly but steadily (IPCC, 2014). NASA predicts that 2016 will mark the hottest year on record. The effects of global warming are ubiquitous: Greenland’s glacier and the Arctic ice cap are melting, ocean levels are rising, occurrences of extreme weather are increasing, including hurricanes and areas of either intense drought or flooding. Collectively, these changes and their direct consequences are an imminent danger and they directly affect other urgent issues humanity is
