Symptoms:
None during early incubation period (7-17 days), afterwards:

high fever

chills

headache

severe back pain

abdominal pain

vomiting

After a few days, these symptoms will dissipate and a rash will be observed. Rashes can break into abcesses filled with fluid and pus.

Prevention:
Widespread vaccination is the most effective way of prevention

Quarantine of those infected due to the highly contagious manner.

Transmission:
Highly contagious during rash phrase.
Treatment: No effective treatment however the smallpox vaccine if applied within four days of viral exposure can prevent or significantly lessen the severity of smallpox symptoms.
Populations Affected:

# data[].attributes.body
Symptoms:
Fever, Anaemia, nausea, headaches, muscle pain, shivering, sweating, enlarged spleen.

Prevention:
Reduce number of mosquitoes, avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, use drugs to prevent the parasite infecting people.
Stocking ponds, irrigation and drainage ditches and other permanent bodies of water with fish which feed on mosquito larvae
Spraying  bacteria which kills mosquito larvae but do not harm other forms of life
Mosquito nets over beds to prevent being bitten while sleeping
Prophylactic Drugs

Transmission:
Through being bitten by a female mosquito which has been infected with Plasmodium.
Blood contact - Blood transfusion.

Treatment:
Usage of anti malaria drugs such as quinine, chloroquine and Doxycycline. Prevents infection from happening.

Populations affected: (2012 data)
80% of infections are in Africa
90% of all deaths were in Africa
Tropical areas
Poorer communities, who cannot afford drugs or mosquito nets to protect themselves

# data[].attributes.body
Symptoms:
- severe diarrhoea
- dehydration
- weakness
- electrolyte imbalance
- kidney failure
- death within hours if untreated

- safe food handling and preparation
- effective general hygiene

Transmission:
- food-borne
- water-borne (when water supply is contaminated with human faeces containing cholera bacteria)

Treatment:
- with oral rehydration salts containing glucose and electrolytes, which are taken up by active transport by th intestinal cells.
This reverse the
- oral cholera vaccine
