Endemic
a field of science that studies health problems that are within populations
what is epidemiology?
organism capable of producing disease
what is the definition of a pathogen?
an individual exposed to and has traces of the pathogen in them although they have recovered from the disease
What is the definition of an active carrier?
transfer of disease via a particular vehicle
what is a vehicle-borne transmission?
effort to prevent a disease or disorder before it happens
what is primary prevention?
the constant presence of a disease in a community or certain group of people
what is the definition of endemic?
An agent, a host and environment
What is involved in the epidemiology triangle?
an individual who has been exposed to and has the pathogens that can spread the disease at different intervals and/or places
What is an intermittent carrier?
different ways in which disease is transferred
what are modes of disease transmission?
Behavior change of the individual to increase the chances to prevents disease before it happens
what is active primary prevention?
epidemics that arise from a specific source
what is a common source epidemic?
Fomite is an object that can harbor disease and are able to transmit it. For example utensils and clothing
What is fomite?
individual who have been exposed to and have the pathogen but have not become ill or have shown and symptom of the disease
what is a healthy carrier?
a person who has been diagnosed with a health-related state or event
what is case?
does not require behavior change of the individual to prevent the disease from occurring
what is passive primary prevention?
Endemic is within a community or group of people and a pandemic is widespread throughout the world
what is the difference between endemic and pandemic?
An inanimate intermediate involved in the transmission of a pathogen from an infected person or reservoir to a host.
What is a vehicle?
individual who harbors the pathogen and who is in the recovery phase of the disease is still infectious
what is a convalescent carrier?
transfer of a pathogen to a susceptible host by a vector, with the pathogen undergoing reproduction, developmental changes or both while in the vector
what is a biological transmission?
activities aimed at health screening and early detection in order to improve the likelihood of cute nf reduce the chance of disability or death
What is secondary prevention?
epidemics that arise from infections transmitted from one infected person to another
what is propagated epidemics?
the habitat in or on which an infectious agent lives, grows and multiplies and where it depends for its survival in nature
what is reservoir?
An incubatory carrier shows the symptoms and is in the beginning stages of the disease while the intermittent carrier is already exposed to the disease and is very contagious.
How is an incubatory carrier different from an intermittent carrier?
transfer of bacteria or viruses on dust particles or on small respiratory droplets that can become aerosolized when people sneeze or cough or exchange body fluids. Disease capable of transmitting through the air.
what is an airborne transmission?
This prevention attempts to limit disability by providing rehabilitation where disease, injury, and disorders have occurred and damaged
what is tertiary prevention?
