I think you'd find better information about the disease-fighting efforts in other countries by checking the World Health Organization's website:\n\nhttp://www.who.int

An epidemic is an illness that a lot of people catch, and it can be lots of different things like influenza or polio. Plague is one type of illness, like the black plague, and is also an epidemic if almost everyone catches it.

There was a WHO report on tropical diseases in 2004 that might be helpful:\n\n\nTropical disease death statistics by worldwide region: \n\nAbout 56,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in Africa 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 16,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in The Americas 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 36,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in South East Asia 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 15,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in Eastern Mediterranean 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 5,000 deaths in Western Pacific 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004)\n\n\nAlso, here are some statistics on yaws in southeast asia from the WHO web site:\n\nAbout 5,000 cases are reported annually, 4,000 in Indonesia, 1,000 in Timor-Leste and a few cases in India.\n\nThere is a lot on yaws on the WHO web site. I am not sure if it lists deaths due to yaws anywhere, however. What if you contacted the WHO and asked?\n\n----------------\n\nHere is another little bit of information from another site:\n\n"In 7157 West Indian cases treated in various hospitals there were only 185 deaths, a mortality of 25.8 per thousand (Nicholls)."\n\nfrom third reference.\n\n--------------------\n\nIn the early 50s, there were 25-100 million cases per year, world wide (from 4th reference).\n\n------------------------\n\nIndonesia reported 11414 cases of yaws in 1982 (5th reference)\n\n-----------------------\n\nthere were 17609 cases of yaws reported in the solomon islands in 2001 (6th reference)\n\n-----------------\n\nI am not sure if this is on the internet, to be honest. Or if it is, it might be in an obscure place.

Are you asking, "What variety of health problems effect the modern world on a global scale"? If so I'd cite:\n\n- AIDS\n- Bird Flu\n- West Nile\n- Lack of sanitation in the "second world"\n- Lack of adequate nutrition in the "third world"\n- Obesity

Bartonellosis is an infectious bacterial disease with an acute form (which has a sudden onset and short course) and a chronic form (which has more gradual onset and longer duration). The disease is transmitted by sandflies and occurs in western South America. Characterized by a form of red blood cell deficiency (hemolytic anemia) and fever, the potentially fatal acute form is called OROYA fever or Carrion's disease. The chronic form is identified by painful skin lesions.

Pandemic refers to a situation or disease that is wide- spread, (as opposed to 'Epidemic', the "Epi' meaning on the surface") . The 'Pan' part of the word is similar to 'all', like 'Panorama' is a view that takes in everything. You could say that AIDS was 'Pandemic' in the world today, or Obesity is 'Pandemic' in the USA
