Basic Knowledge
These are organic components of food that are needed to aid the body in maintaining good health.
What are vitamins?
This person studied Cholera, involving investigations and research. He is known for being one of the most important contributors in the field of Epidemiology.
Who is John Snow?
This prevention does not need any changed action from the individual.
What is passive primary prevention?
This carrier has been exposed to a disease and carries a pathogen even if they have had the disease before.
What is Active Carrier?
This transmission requires contact between two people. One person is infected and the other is susceptible.
What is direct transmission?
The study of determinants of health-related states of events in human population along with prevention and control of health issues.
What is Epidemiology?
This person was a nurse and worked on improving sanitary conditions for soldiers in the 1950's. She helped save many peoples lives by doing this.
Who is Florence Nightingale?
This is the prevention that requires action before a disease happens. This includes lifestyle changes, good behavior choices, and health education.
What is primary prevention?
This type of carrier is infected with the disease, that may be in recovery from it, but can still spread this disease.
What is a Convalescent carrier?
This transmission happens when the disease is spread without two people touching. An example can be through air.
What is Indirect Transmission?
This term means that a disease has spread from one country to another country. This also means it spread at a fast rate.
What is a pandemic?
This person contracted a disease that didn't show symptoms, but this person was spreading it because they cooked for families. This person ran from the officials because they didn't understand what was going on.
Who is Typhoid Mary?
This prevention is needed before the disease occurs, and the individual must do it. An example is changing eating behaviors, and to stop smoking.
What is Active primary prevention?
This carrier is someone who has been exposed and carries the disease, but doesn't show any signs of being sick.
What is a Passive Carrier?
What is Vector-borne transmission?
This is where a pathogen lives, survives, and thrives. The pathogen can be nonliving or living. This place is also where the pathogen grows and multiplies. (Ex: Decaying organic matter)
What is a reservoir?
This person described disease from a rational perspective rather than a supernatural perspective. He suggested that future doctors watch diseases spread and times that they spread to be able to treat people in an effective way.
Who is Hippocrates?
This prevention type is used to catch a disease before it become a serious problem. An example of this prevention is going an getting screenings done to find cancer. This way further prevention can take place before the disease gets worse.
What is secondary prevention?
This type of carrier has been exposed to the disease, is infectious, shows symptoms, and has the ability to transfer the disease to someone else.
What is a Incubatory Carrier?
This transmission occurs when the disease is on an inanimate object, and can infect someone without them knowing. This can occur in swimming pools for example.
What is Vehicle-borne transmission?
This type of epidemiology study involves finding associations, questioning, analyzing, and identifying causes of health-related issues within events.
What is analytic epidemiology?
This person discovered that sailors would get sick while at sea. He thought at first that the weather and time of year was causing these sailors to be sick, he then did future research and found it was their diet.
Who is James Lind?
What is Tertiary prevention?
This type of carrier is someone who has had the disease, carries the disease, can spread the disease anywhere, at anytime, and in different intervals of being sick.
What is a Intermittent Carrier?
This type of transmission happens when a change in the life of the disease happens before it infects a new person.
What is biological transmission?
