The recent outbreak of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus has lead many people to read up on essay news, papers, medical manuals, and other forms of literature in order to know more about it. One of the things that people find out in the essay papers that they read is that there had already been so many cases of pandemics throughout history.
One could also join the people who write essay papers about diseases and pandemics by studying the various cases that occurred throughout history. There had been many cases such as cholera, typhoid fever, malaria, leprosy, and studying them side by side may help people learn about them.
One who is writing essay papers about diseases and pandemics can focus on these topics:
1.Transmission – The essay papers can focus on how the diseases spread throughout the populace. There are some which are airborne (SARS), some are due to intake of contaminated items (cholera), while some are due to interaction with insects or other animals (malaria from insect bites).
2.Colonization – During the earlier periods of history, when countries would colonize others, one of the things that they could accidentally bring are diseases. Examples would include how half the native population of Hispaniola in 1518 was killed by smallpox brought by European factors. The essay papers can see other instances when similar events happened.
3.Cure – While some pandemics continued,others had also been successfully stemmed or eliminated all together. A writer can try to discuss in the essay papers, how cures were found for these diseases.
