Dengue is a disease that is a health problem in the tropics and subtropics. There are 4 serotypes of dengue virus, DEN1-DEN4 and all of these serotypes are transmitted through the bite of female Aedes Aegypty mosquitoes. The big concern of the world health experts is the possibility of spreading dengue and becoming an uncontrolled epidemic. So this research is intended to be able to suppress dengue cases. We used is SIR-SI by adding all human classes do not or use repellent. The analysis conducted basic reproductive numbers  which will be reviewed when R0<1  and R0>1 . Furthermore, to illustrate the model was carried out simulation which resulted in the fact that the higher the level of repellent use in humans would reduce the spread of dengue.

How do COVID-19 experts psychologically manage the pandemic and its effects? Using a full year of press briefings (January 2020–January 2021) from the World Health Organization ( N = 126), this paper evaluated the relationship between communication patterns and COVID-19 cases and deaths. The data suggest as COVID-19 cases and deaths increased, health experts tended to think about the virus in a more formal and analytic manner. Experts also communicated with fewer cognitive processing terms, which typically indicate people “working through” a crisis. This report offers a lens into the internal states of COVID-19 experts and their organization as they gradually learned about the virus and its daily impact.

Throughout the world, infection with parasites is extremely common. Prevalence is highest in the warm countries of the tropics and subtropics, but infection occurs in all climatic zones. The figures usually quoted for the prevalence of specific parasites attain values akin to those used to describe astronomical distances. The World Health Organization (1985) estimated that some 2582 million of the earth's inhabitants live in areas where they risk contracting malaria and that many – in Africa south of the Sahara alone probably 200 million – remain chronically and persistently infected. Estimates for other parasites are similarly impressive; 600 million at risk of infection with schistosomiasis, with some 200 million actually infected; 900 million exposed to lymphatic filarial parasites, with some 90 million currently infected; for onchocerciasis, probably some 40 million cases spread throughout Africa, Central and South America and the Eastern mediterranean. Yet, impressive as these estimates may be, they are dwarfed by those for some intestinal helminths. Recent assessments suggest that 1 person in 4 of the world's population carries Ascaris lumbricoides (Schultz, 1982), while the same proportion is believed to be infected with one or other of the hookworms (Gilman, 1982).

The relentless spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)1 has been exponential, with an alarming number of deaths2 putting health systems under severe strain. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID-19 a pandemic3 and health experts cannot predict when a vaccine may be available, or when the spread will slow.

A key outcome in medical education is the training of doctors to acquire the knowledge and understanding of the basic science that underpins clinical practice. The graduate will be able to apply to medical practice biomedical scientific principles, method and knowledge relating to: anatomy, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, nutrition, pathology, pharmacology and physiology .’ (Tomorrow’s Doctors 2009, GMC, UK). In this, the last of the themed chapters of questions that map to the Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences, we will test knowledge of infectious diseases and the host immune responses that counteract them. Despite the shift of the world health problem to non-communicable diseases in recent times (Global status report on non-communicable diseases 2010, World Health Organization), infectious diseases remain a major health problem in many parts of the world. Even in developed countries, epidemics and outbreaks of infections are not infrequent events, pandemics sporadically crop up at the least expected times. In addition, microorganisms constantly evolve to escape the host immune response and to develop resistance to treatments that have been developed. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep up our knowledge and to develop new treatments.

Scabies is still a health problem in the world, including Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 stated that scabies is included in the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) which requires large-scale control. In Indonesia, according to data from the Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia the prevalence of scabies in 2017 is 6% of the total population in Indonesia. Discussion on the incidence and prevention of scabies from various regions in Indonesia so far is still not comprehensive. This review will provide an overview related to epidemiology and preventive measures against scabies so that scabies cases in Indonesia can be controlled properly

Abstract: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed COVID-19 a pandemic, in response to the more than 1,00,000 confirmed cases globally in more than 100 countries, and the persistent threat of spreading further. Presently, there is no medicine to cure or vaccine to prevent the spread of COVID 19. The only way to curb its menace is taking precautionary measures as advised by Health experts. Social distancing i.e. maintaining a minimum distance of 1-1.5 meter between two individuals is one of the proactive measures advised by WHO. In this paper, an ATMEGA (open source) based Smart wearable device “Manav Rakshak” is proposed. It can be worn while travelling outside home and will help in maintaining the social distancing thereby curb the spread of COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is, to date, the health problem with the highest impact in the 21st century. The World Health Organization has recommended several prevention and control measures to deal with this pandemic. In this context, social communication plays a key role. In this article we argue that the potential of communication efforts to close the gaps in the COVID-19 response worldwide won´t be fully accomplished until they do address equity-related issues.

Death Data

The 2019-2020 global pandemic has been caused by a disease called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This disease has been caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). By April 30 2020, the World Health Organization reported 3,096,626 cases and 217,896 deaths, which implies an exponential growth for infection and deaths worldwide. Currently, there are various computer-based approaches that present COVID-19 data through different types of charts, which is very useful to recognise its behavior and trends. Nevertheless, such approaches do not allow for observation of any projection regarding confirmed cases and deaths, which would be useful to understand the trends of COVID-19. In this work, we have designed and developed an online dashboard that presents actual information about COVID-19. Furthermore, based on this information, we have designed a mathematical model in order to make projections about the evolution of cases and deaths worldwide and by country.

This paper represents the COVID-19 Economic impact and pandemic that’s affecting our globe widely. The virus is sweeping across the world, parting a trail of efficient and group dent in its wake. Coronavirus has gone with new evils and miseries in the large-scale nation and health. The profitable force of the coronavirus is subsequently critical that the experts predicted that the forthcoming large scale depression would be as like as the 1929 terrible depression or at slightest will cross over the 2008 monetary crisis. Countries adopted a national scale lockdown as a head march to enclose the coronavirus. For that altogether, money-making  behavior and everyday energy stopped, barren cities and the street feels like hollows. The macro monetary brunt of the coronavirus and the outlook of the macro cost-cutting measure after the epidemic ends. Corona infection is increasing rapidly in India and the number of people falling victim to the coronavirus infection. The coronavirus disease continues to increase across humankind next to a path that is tough to predict. The health, caring and socio-economic policies adopted by countries will control the rate and dilution of the recovery. The World Health Organization and health experts and doctors are advising people to be safe to raise awareness.
