This is really good , in addition you could also mention the type of causative organism (bacteria, virus, worms etc.) in the causative agents as it will be difficult to identify the type of organism from their names.

I appreciate the comprehensive nature of the above article; nevertheless listing the name of the causative agent (viz. bacteria/virus) would have made it much more useful..

dr.murthy
August 14, 2015 at 12:31 pmI appreciate the effort. but I think you need to include the parasitic disease also which are more common in India. like Malaria, worm infestations etc. because the rural anemia is a big problem in India, caused by hook worm infestation transmitted by out door defecation
good job..
dr.murthy
August 14, 2015 at 1:03 pmCorrection. Sorry. worm infestations are there. but Malaria is not included.
