	FOREWORD
		Control of communicable disease is the legally designated responsibility of the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) and the local health department.
		Control of communicable disease among school children requires careful observation and reporting of symptoms by all school personnel and parents to the school nurse or other designated health team member.
		Although school nurses are not required by law to report individual cases of communicable diseases, it is important to maintain communication with the local health department concerning outbreaks or clusters of communicable diseases.

		It generally includes surveillance and control of infectious disease and promotion of healthy behaviors among members of the community.
		The WHO sets standards and provides global surveillance, but national bodies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia in the U.S.A. and their local affiliated Medical Officer of Health are usually the lead in responding to Public health threats.
		This was the case, even though Redi showed in the 17th century that fly eggs were required for maggots to be generated in dung heaps and Lazzaro Spallanzani, in 1768, proved that microbes came from the air, and that regeneration could be prevented by boiling in a hermetically sealed container.

		One way of proving that a given disease is "infectious", is to satisfy Koch's postulates (Robert Koch), which demand that the infectious agent is identified in patients and not in controls, and that patients who contract the agent also develop the disease.
		The field of infectious diseases also occupies itself with the diagnosis and therapy of infection.
		Doctors who specialise in the medical treatment of infectious disease are called infectiologists or infectious disease specialists.

		Intestinal anthrax is rare and more difficult to recognize, except that it tends to occur in explosive food poisoning outbreaks; abdominal distress is followed by fever, signs of septicemia and death in the typical case.
		Laboratory confirmation is made by demonstration of the causative organism in blood, lesions or discharges by direct polychrome methylene blue (M’Fadyean)-stained smears or by culture or inoculation of mice, guinea pigs or rabbits.
		The disease spreads among grazing animals through contaminated soil and feed; among omnivorous and carnivorous animals through contaminated meat, bone meal or other feeds; and among wildlife from feeding on carcasses infected with anthrax.

		The insurance company would then be faced with a choice of paying all claims without complaint (thus losing money and possibly going out of business) or denying the claims (thus outraging patients and their families, discouraging potential customers, and becoming a target for lawsuits and legislation).
		Some other factors that cause an increase in health insurance prices are health related: insufficient exercise; unhealthy food choices; a shortage of doctors in impoverished or rural areas; excessive alcohol use, smoking, street drugs, obesity, among some parts of the population; and the modern sedentary lifestyle of the middle classes.
