Ngā tahumaero ka kawea e ngā pepeke

Go to English version

  • Arā ētahi pepeke ngongo toto ka tino whakararu i te tangata, i te mea he kawe tahumaero anō rātou.
  • Arā te puruhi piri kiore o te Rāwhiti Pāmamao (a Xenopsylla cheopis) e kawe ana i te urutā bubonic. I te rautau 14 ko tētahi hauawa o te iwi whānui o Ūropi (e 25 miriona tāngata) i hemo i tērā tahumaero!
  • Ko te waeroa tētahi rōpū pepeke kai toto he kawe tahumaero anō tā rātou. Ko te malaria tētahi o ngā tino tahumaero nei, ā, he tokomaha tonu ngā tāngata e hemo ana i tērā. He waimarie kāore anō te malaria i tatū ki Aotearoa, engari kitea nuitia ai i ngā whenua pārūrū o te ao, ā, ka āhua 120 miriona ngā tāngata ka pāria e te malaria i aua whenua i ia tau.
