Definition Of Tropical Disease
- Tropical diseases are diseases that
spread in tropical areas - These diseases include infectious diseases
and non-communicable - Infectious and non-infectious diseases
Indonesia: tropical, multi-ethnic, genetic, social
culture
Agent --->> Environment--->>Host
Environment is an important factor
affect the balance between the host and
agent
Environment consists of physical and non-physical factors.
The physical environment includes:
•Geographical circumstances
•Humidity
•Temperature
•Neighborhood
Non-physical environment, including:
affect the balance between the host and
agent
Environment consists of physical and non-physical factors.
The physical environment includes:
•Geographical circumstances
•Humidity
•Temperature
•Neighborhood
Non-physical environment, including:
- Social (education, employment)
- Culture (customs hereditary)
- Economics (micro policies and local policies)
- Political (leadership succession influence policy and prevention prevention of a disease)
Factor of disease-causing agents:
chemical, mechanical, stress (Psychological),
and biological (bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungi)
One of the properties is the virulence of the disease agent
Virulence is the ability or
malignancy of a disease-causing agent
to inflict damage on target
Things to note about the host
includes:
•
Characteristics (age, sex, occupation,
descent, race, lifestyle)
•
nutrition or endurance
•
the body's defenses
•
personal health
•
symptoms and signs of disease
•
treatment
1.
Direct contact (sex, skin,
varicella)
2.
Air (spray saliva, sputum or sneezing)
3.
Food and Drink
4.
Vectors (mosquitoes, fleas, dogs, cats, monkeys)

The most important thing: breaking the chain of transmission
(Stop the disease-causing agent contact
with the host)
Emphasizes prevention of risk factors
disease (environmental and behavioral)
Infection by Bacteria
(Tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, neonatal tetanus,
typhoid fever, leprosy, plague, anthrax, leptospirosis)
Infection by Viruses
(Dengue, chikungunya, measles, hepatitis, rabies,
HIV-AIDS, varicella, bird flu, SARS, polio)
Infection by Parasites
(Malaria, worms, filariasis)
chemical, mechanical, stress (Psychological),
and biological (bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungi)

Virulence is the ability or
malignancy of a disease-causing agent
