Students use the European Union's struggle with Mad Cow Disease as a starting point to study the spread of infectious diseases across geographical boundaries.

Students research about the different symptoms of tuberculosis. In this biology lesson, students perform a case study on this infectious disease using WHO's database. They explore current treatment for TB.

Students compare and contrast the spread of infectious diseases and population growth. In this biology lesson, students identify the exponential growth pattern of spreading diseases. They relate this to HIV infection and AIDS.

In this health worksheet, students identify various infectious diseases and explore the available options for stopping or preventing the spread of disease. They participate in a simulation experiment on how to measure and prevent. There...

Students explore how the study of diseases, epidemics and disease management offers opportunities for exploration of biological evolution, immune systems, interaction between humans and their environment, and interaction among organisms....

An overview of malaria and the types of Plasmodium that is carried by the Anopheles mosquito infecting red blood cells and liver cells in the human body. Symptoms of malaria are also discussed.

The three-step process of diagnosing malaria is explained.

After malaria has been confirmed by lab or biochemical diagnosis, treatment must begin immediately. But first the type of Plasmodium causing the infection, whether the patient has severe or non-severe infection, and if the parasite is...
