Answer 1

Name of disease	Causative agent	Common mode of transmission	Pathogenesis and virulence factors	Epidemiology	Prevention and treatment
Trichomoniasis	Trichomonas vaginalis	Intercourse/sex	adherence, contact-independent factors, hemolysis and host macromolecules	120 million caases reported per year mostly in African americans	Have safe sex ,use of condoms
Streptococcal Acute Glomerulonephritis	Streptococcus bacteria of the types 12, 4 and 1	group A strep that lives in throat and nose can can be spread the disease from person to person when they cough /sneeze.	proteins that possess antigenic determinants, having affinity for sites in the glomerulus ,interacting with them and causing type II hypersensitivity reaction.	Causes deaths and 472,000 cases reported approximately and 404,000 of those cases occur in children	Antibiotioc therapy and control of blood pressure.
Cystitis	Mostly caused by E.coli bacteria.	Trasmitted from bacteria that move from bowel to urinary tract and sex.	The bacteria enters via urethra to urinary tarct and attach to urinary bladder and form a biofilm that is resistant against body 's immune response.	most common in women between age 16-35 years	hygienic conditions,and intake of antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
Condylomata acuminata	human papillomavirus	penetrative sex	Viral proteins that cause infection in cutaneous and mucosal epithelium.	Prevalent moslty in the US (10–20%)	Vacciantion
Syphilis	Treponema pallidum bacteria	sexually transmitted or personal contact with syphilitic sore, known as a chancre.	Bacterial pathogenic proteins	Causes deaths in both males and females if untreated.	vaccination and safe sex, treatment with antibitics
genital herpes	herpes simplex virus	genital contact or secretions, viral shedding	hyperesensitivity reaction	16 %of Americans in ages of 14 and 49 are mostly affected.	use of antivoral medicines such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir, safe sex
Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome
Candidiasis	Candida /yeast;common is Candida albicans	mother to infant during childbirth	Virulence factors	75% females are affected with the infection in the Western Hemisphere,	Use of antifungal medications such as clotrimazole, nystatin, fluconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B, and echinocandins,maintain oral hygiene,personal hygiene
Lymphogranuloma venereum	Chlamydia trachomatis	sexually transmitted	The organism gets entry to skin by breaking through it and then travels from the site of inoculation to the down the lymphatic channels where it multiplies in the mononuclear phagocytes of the lymph nodes.	Disease occurence has been reported in East and West Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, India, and the Caribbean basin	Treatment involves antibiotics such as  tetracycline and erythromycin.
Chancroid	streptobacillus Haemophilus ducreyi.	sexually transmitted	Involves a local tissue reaction tyat leads to development of erythomatous papule, which goes on to progres to form a pustule in 4–7 days,finally undergoing necrosis to ulcerate.	not a global incidence	use of antibiotics azithromycin,ceftriaxone,,erythromycin and safe sex.
