The water-related or water-associated infectious diseases are typically arranged in four classes from the environmental engineering point of view, although more complex categorizations have also been proposed [14]. These categories are faecal-oral water-borne diseases, water-washed diseases, water-based diseases and diseases transmitted by water-associated insect vectors. Each type has different causes and potential solutions. Too often the term water-borne disease is erroneously used to name all of them without distinction. 

For those infectious diseases that are transmitted to humans via insect vectors the onset and decline phases of epidemics are rarely observed other than as a reflections of the seasonal variation in the prevalence of the insect. Rather, the disease is endemic within the population group and has a steady incidence of new cases. Diseases such as these are generally controlled by public health measures and environmental control of the vector with vaccination and immunization being deployed to protect individuals (e.g. yellow fever vaccination).

The most extensively used adenoviruses are serotypes 2 (Ad2) and 5 (Ad5) because both are not associated with serious infectious disease in humans. - Similar to retroviral vectors, elements of adenovirus DNA genome are removed to prevent replication once inside the... 

Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites. Human malaria is usually caused by the infection of Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. vivax (Mendis et al, 2001). It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including Asia, Africa, and parts of the Americas. Each year there are about 350-500 million cases of malaria, and more than 1 million people die (CDC, 2009). A series of gossypol derivatives with modified aldehydic groups and hydroxyl groups (Figs. 6.10 and 6.11) have been shown to inhibit the growth of P. falciparum (Razakantoanina et al, 2000 Royer et al, 1986).

Epidemic an outbreak of a contagious, infectious disease. The disease can be transmitted from an infected individual to a non-infected individual by direct contact, droplet inhalation, or vector.
