Question

Contrast the modes of transmission of the following diseases: rabies, Lyme disease, yellow fever, West Nile disease, anthrax, and plague. Which of these diseases could be virtually eliminated in humans by control of the disease vector and which could not and why?

Answer 1

Disease	Mode of transmission
Rabies	the bite and virus-containing saliva of an infected host
Lyme disease	Bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is spread through the bite of infected ticks.
Yellow fever	bite of infected Aedes or Haemagogus species mosquitoes
west nile	bite of an infected mosquito
anthrax	inhales spores that are in the air (aerosolized) during the industrial processing of contaminated materials
plague	Yersinia pestis

Rabies can be treated by vaccination it can completely eliminated in humans

Early stage of lyme/anthrax/plague can be cure by antibiotics

Yellow fever/west nile is not curable disease it is deadly flu , we can try to prevent it by some vaccine but it can not virtually eliminated by the human disease
