World War I, and to a lesser extent, World War II, brought soldiers all over the world and then back home. The Spanish Flu pandemic is the most severe result of these transmissions.
So much to do, so little time.

Other good answers:
• New transportation technology like airplanes
• Poor hygiene
• Misunderstanding of scientific principles of disease transfer
• War
• Poverty/poor living conditions
Your turn.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Campylobacter seems more like a foodborne illness, but everything else is OK. There's also Guinea Worm Disease, which is quite important because it's approaching global eradication.cemsc10 wrote:There's lots but Cholera, Campylobacter, and Giardia come to mind first.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
It's also transmitted through water as well, and I always find it so cool how certain diseases are eradicated, it's like humans winning the war against the disease .
Question: What are the 3 types of anthrax? Explain how each one is transmitted.

[b]cutaneous anthrax[/b] is spread through contact through the skin, generally through lesions or open cuts that allow anthrax spores into the body. Cutaneous anthrax affects the skin and the area around the site of infection. [b]gastrointestinal anthrax[/b] is spread through eating undercooked or raw meat infected with anthrax. Generally, it affects the upper GI tract and often spreads to the stomach and intestines. [b]inhalational anthrax[/b] is spread through the inhalation of anthrax spores. It starts with lymph nodes in the chest and then spreads through the respiratory system, often causing breathing problems.
