    Types of diseases transmitted, the causes and
    preventions
    1)Dengue Fever
    Cause :Through Mosquito Bites
    Dengue viruses are spread to people through the bites of
    infected Aedes species mosquitoes
    Preventions: Wear protective clothing. When you go into
    mosquito-infested areas, wear a long-sleeved shirt, long
    pants, socks and shoes.
    Use mosquito repellent. Permethrin can be applied to your
    clothing, shoes, camping gear and bed netting. You can also
    buy clothing made with permethrin already in it. For your
    skin, use a repellent containing at least a 10% concentration
    of DEET.
    2)Leptospirosis

    Cause :Leptospirosis is caused by a bacterium called


    Leptospira interrogans. The organism is carried by many
    animals and lives in their kidneys. It ends up in soil and
    water through their urine.

    Preventions:Keep away from infected animals, especially


    wild rats. Rats and other rodents are the main carriers of
    the bacteria.Be careful if you have to handle wild rats or
    come in contact with their habitats.
    PREDICTION OF DISEASES PROGRESSION BASED ON THE
    STATISTICAL GRAPHS FROM MINISTRY OF HEALTH
    SUGGESTIONS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
    1)We can have a campaign in school for students to teach
    awaerenss about disease in Malaysia
    2)Use technology to take care of yourself. From health
    monitoring to consulting with doctors and identifying
    outbreaks months ahead, health apps are here to guide you

    3)Keep your environment clean and free from potential


    risks. Use insect repellents, discard empty cans and
    bottles that many become mosquito breeding grounds.
    4)Practise good personal hygiene at all times. From
    washing your hands, preparing food, and caring for pets
    to covering your cough, tending to wounds and not
    sharing utensils, small steps can make big differences.

    5)Keep up with your vaccination schedule. If you


    are a parent, make sure your child receives all the
    vaccinations recommended by the Health Ministry.
    If you are travelling, make sure you do your due
    diligence and get vaccinated.
    Thank
    you!!
