Module 7: Physical and Chemical Changes, Procedures for Limiting Disease, Antiviral and Antibiotics - a podcast by HSCbiology

Analyse responses to the presence of pathogens by assessing the physical and chemical changes that occur in the host animal's cells and tissues

Investigate and analyse the wide range of interrelated factors involved in limiting local, regional and global spread of a named infectious disease

 

Investigate procedures that can be employed to prevent the spread of disease, including but not limited to:

• hygiene practices


• Quarantine


• vaccination, including passive and active immunity


• public health campaigns  


• use of pesticides


• genetic engineering

Investigate and assess the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals as treatment strategies for the control of infectious disease, for example:

• Antivirals


• antibiotics
  

Investigate and evaluate environmental management and quarantine methods used to control an epidemic or pandemic
