Discuss the mechanisms by which infections can result in disease, and theapproaches available to inhibit these mechanisms in an attempt to treat and
\nmanage infectious diseases.<\/p>\n
What is this assignment all about
\nInfectious agents can cause damage and dysfunction at a cell, tissue, organ, or the
\nentire host level. But how do infectious agents cause damage, dysfunction and
\ndisease in their hosts What are the precise biochemical and physiological
\nmechanisms of this damage and is the damage a direct result of the structure or
\nfunctions of the infectious agents, or an indirect result of the host\u2019s response to
\ninfection In order to relieve symptoms and treat the disease, these treatments have
\nto modulate these pathogenic mechanisms. How do the different treatments
\navailable for infectious diseases inhibit or reverse these direct and indirect
\npathogenic processes

\nUnderstanding of the means that infectious agents directly cause damage, dysfunction and disease
\nUnderstanding of damage, dysfunction and disease results from the response of the host to the infectious agents.
\nExamples from all types of infectious agents
\nDescribe means by which direct and indirect mechanisms of damage can be inhibited in an attempt to treat symptoms of the disease
\nThe use of appropriate sources of information (latest) and properly cited and referenced
\nPresentation of work \u2013 is it clear, concise, and scientifically accurate <\/p>\n
