WHAT IS A HEREDITARY DISEASE?
A hereditary disease is caused by an abnormality in a person’s genetic material .It is a disease passed down through several generations within the same family and is transmitted from parent to child.
WHAT IS A PHYSIOLOGICAL DISEASE?
A physiological disease occurs when the normal working person’s body is being affected due to the malfunctioning of organs or structural changes of cells changing overtime causing illness. CHRONIC DISEASES
Asthma-Physiological, Hereditary
Hypertension-Physiological
Obesity-
Cancer-Physiological
Coronary heart disease
Diabetes mellitus
Asthma Asthma is a disease where the bronchial tubes constrict, inflammation and wheezing may occur as well as coughing and shortness of breath .Some allergens that may trigger asthma includes airborne irritants, stress and excess exercise. One can control Asthma by avoiding or removing the source. Asthma may be treated by the use of an inhaler or taking antihistamines to reduce inflammation.

WHAT IS A VECTOR?
A vector is a living organism that transmits an infectious pathogen into other living organisms.
VECTORS COMMON TO THE CARIBBEAN VECTORS DISEASES
1. APHIDS
Viral disease in plants
2. RATS
Leptospirosis
3. ANOPHELES
Malaria & Elephantiasis
4. TICKS
Lyme disease
5. HOUSE FLIES
Cholera & Typhoid
HOW THEY TRANSMIT THEIR DISEASES
Houseflies feed on decaying plant and animal materials, garbage, faeces and urine. They then collect germs on parts of their bodies while feeding. These germs are then passed on from one person to the next where these persons who come in contact may become ill with diseases such as typhoid, cholera or dysentery among others.
Mosquitos spread many diseases. The anopheles mosquitoes spread diseases such as malaria or elephantiasis. This is done by the mosquitos feeding on
