Write short explanatory notes on how change of lifestyles and modernization contribute to the spread of diseases under the following concepts/topics:
through food production,
ability to store food longer,
increasingly domesticated animals,
increased consumption of raw foods,
the worldwide trade of agricultural products
through food production: Here you should focus on how modern processes contribute to the spread of diseases. For example, Modern processes involved in food production increase the risk of food contamination with pathogenic microorganisms. This can come from machinery used for food processing or food handlers. The answer given should have sufficient points for marks allocated. Your explanations can be supported by examples of microorganisms or diseases.
ability to store food longer: growth of microorganisms in food stored for extended period. Consider factors such as temperature fluctuation, poor packaging etc.
increasingly domesticated animals: How an increase in…
List three factors that contribute to the emergence of infectious diseases.
List five reasons for an increase in numbers of emerging infectious diseases

Although people living with HIV/AIDS can receive antiretroviral therapy and live many years, they are extremely susceptible to co-‐infections. Even with medication, the combination of HIV/AIDS and TB is often fatal. In Swaziland, a small country nestled in Southern Africa, the total population in 2010 was only 449,900 people. Of that population, the total number of people living with HIV/AIDS was 33%. In 2010 the total number of deaths in Swaziland was approximately 13,000. In the same year the number of HIV-related deaths was reported as 9,300. Question: What was the cause-specific mortality rate from HIV per 1000 people? (round to the nearest whole number)?
