The Global Burden of Disease: Main Findings for Sub-Saharan Africa 1 The leading causes of disability in the region, such as depression and low back pain, were largely consistent with the leading causes at the global level; however, communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria accounted for a larger proportion of disability in Sub-Saharan Africa than the world as a whole. The Sub-Saharan Africa region has made overall progress in reducing mortality and prolonging life since 1970; however, some countries showed elevated rates of death within certain age groups and for sexes, between 1990 and 2010.

- Background. Influenza, one of the most common infectious diseases, is a highly contagious airborne disease that occurs in seasonal epidemics and manifests as an acute febrile illness with variable degrees of systemic symptoms, ranging from mild fatigue to respiratory failure and death.or example, influenza A subtype H3N2 expresses hemagglutinin 3 and neuraminidase 2. The most common subtypes of human influenza virus identified to date contain only hemagglutinins 1, 2, and 3 and neuraminidases 1 and 2. H3N2 and H1N1 are the most common prevailing influenza A subtypes that infect humans.

H5N1 is a type of influenza virus that causes a highly infectious, severe respiratory disease in birds called avian influenza (or bird flu).5N1 infection in humans can cause severe disease and has a high mortality rate. If the H5N1 virus were to change and become easily transmissible from person to person while retaining its capacity to cause severe disease, the consequences for public health could be very serious.

- It is important to put these disease burden estimates in perspective. According to WHO there are 10.8 million child deaths globally a year. The number attributed to zinc, vitamin A, and iron deficiencies is 2 082 000, or 19% of the total. Malaria, for comparison, causes less than one million child deaths a year (2). It also causes 2.7% of global DALYs, compared to the roughly 6% caused by iron, vitamin A and zinc deficiencies (2, 3).
