Globalization of Infection Diseases

Globalization is a series of complex process which includes the exchange of cultures. Globalization is causing the destruction of people cultures; this is because we have a consumer mentality, everyone wants to get more and more material stuff. We always are thinking to get the latest devices like cellphones, LCD TV, computers, video games, etc.; instead of thinking how help others that need food, water, and clothes. As a result of the globalization, each country has part of other nations. As a consequence of this exchange of culture, also there are things which don’t want to be transmitted outside, like infection diseases (ID) that can be easily spread around the world. whenever a person travels to another country , it is possible that he or she are infected with a command disease that can affect a huge population, but they don’t know; so, when they have a direct contact with other persons, and in this moment is potential some possibility to transmit an infectious disease. The exchange among cultures spread infections easily and fast; for example, AIDS, cholera, diarrhea, yellow fever etc.

The exchange of cultures is a big way to meet people, but is a big way to come down with infectious diseases, why? Because citizens in the moment when they interact between them, is very probably who they have diseases, in cases like unprotected sexual intercourse. The most dangerous infectious diseases about unprotected sexual intercourse is the HIV/AIDS, (this condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through direct contact with a bodily fluid, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid and breast milk, as a consequence of this practice without protection. On the other hand there is prostitution, that create an opportunity to get different kinds of diseases, because they are unprotected to the society, by the way, they get different costumers who can be transmitted to HIV. Also do to poverty, prostitution is very common in different countries, because is one of the few jobs that people can be do, even thought this is a dangerous employment.

Historically infectious diseases have been the most important contributor to human mortality. The term infectious diseases does not refer to any kind of illness; just imagine that in high income countries dead from infectious diseases (ID) can be commonly caused by diarrhea, HIV/AIDS, etc. Meanwhile other countries in Africa (third world countries) there is more mortality do to ID; is commonly caused by hunger, consuming contaminated food, even polluted water, germs etc. The process of globalization potentially influences a broad range of biological, environmental factors. An infection occurs when a microorganism survives and multiplies whiten another usually larger organism. The infected organism (human being) usually called the host.
