Abnormal amount of incidents impacting people's health, can be related to contaminated water, pathogens within local grocers or pollution from an industrial zone
What is Epidemic
Strategic preparation and education in order to evade morbidities and pathogens
What is Primary Prevention?
Inanimate items that have traces of physically transmissible illness
When physical contact is made by a pathogen carrying vector with an unexposed living organism
An individual who is host to an illness and continues to spread it without succumbing to its symptoms
What is Active Carrier?
Excessive damages to health, environment or people on much grander scale than epidemic
Early detection and analysis of an individual’s morbidity is essential to developing a special plan to combat the morbidity
What is Secondary Prevention?
Invertebrate animals, that carry an illness picked up from an animal and injected into another
What is Vector?
When an individual makes contact with a body of water or surfaces that are hosting a pathogen
What is Vehicle-borne Transmission?
An individual who remained unaffected from any contact with agent or source of infection
What is Healthy/Passive Carrier?
Hazards that are constant in communities or locations, nearby oil drilling can cause harms related to water contamination, homes in lower income areas can still be structured with asbestos
What is Endemic?
When an individual has already been diagnosed and been impacted from the morbidity, this prevention is meant to resist, slow and do away with the illness
What is Tertiary Prevention?
Location where an illness reproduces or festers, through or on an agent
What is Reservoir?
Aerosolized spray of the nose or mouth and other particles make contact with orifices other an individual
An individual who is infectious, and demonstrates the infections symptoms at the beginning of infection point
What is Incubatory Carrier?
An individual can have been exposed to a pathogen and is one of the sources of exposure for other individuals
Individuals practicing positive lifestyle changes where they make a conscious effort
Vertebrate animals that carry the illness then contact a person through itself or another agent
What is Zoonosis?
When the pathogen alters and develops all while being within the host, therefore being different than before it entered
What is Biological Transmission?
An individual who is capable of distributing the infection to other individuals or fomites at any stage of infection
What is Intermittent Carrier?
A basis in which to understand that epidemics have a multitude of qualities that can lessen or worsen the impact the severity of the pathogen
What is Epidemiology Triangle?
Prevention provided through sound public policy, improving prevention on a larger scale
What is Passive Primary Prevention?
Transport entity or mechanism for illness carrying agents to travel and infect
What is Vehicle?
Transmission from contact from an affected individual to another through sexual intercourse, or illnesses such as neonatal diabetes
What is Direct Transmission?
An individual who throughout the majority of the recovery phase, continues to be infectious
What is Convalescent Carrier?
