Lecture 25 hiv epidemiology, virology and immunology. Major historical pandemics include typhoid, plague, smallpox, cholera, flu, tuberculosis, malaria. Major current pandemic = hiv/aids, malaria and tuberculosis. There are a range of disease that have reappeared or those that were never-seen before e. g. nurs, sars in 2018. 1990 2013 causes of death globally shifted to fewer infectious disease but aids kills many more, fewer malaria. 36. 7 million people are li(cid:448)i(cid:374)g (cid:449)ith hiv glo(cid:271)ally a(cid:374)d 30% do(cid:374)"t know their status. Most people of living with hiv are in sub-saharan africa, then. Australia has 27,000 people living with hiv one of the lowest rates globally. This is because of public health incentives like clean (cid:374)eedle distri(cid:271)utio(cid:374) to drug takers (cid:271)ut i(cid:374)fe(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s are (cid:374)ot declining yet. Global burden of major infectious diseases/year: hiv/aids = 1. 3 million deaths, falling since 2005, tb = 1. 4 million deaths, falling since 1990, malaria = 855,000 deaths, falling since 2004, viral hepatitis = 1. 45 million deaths, steadily increasing.
