What are Modes of Transmission?
Arises from infections transmitted from one infected person to another
What is Propagated?
Individual who was exposed and who harbors infectious agent
What is an Active Carrier?
First disease case in population
What is a Primary Case?
Health screening and detection activates used to identify disease
What is Secondary Prevention?
Uninterrupted and immediate transfer of an infectious agent from one person to another
What is Direct Transmission?
Occurrence of cases of illness at an extensive region, country or continent
What is a Pandemic?
Individual who was exposed, carries pathogen but does not have symptoms
What is a Healthy or Passive Carrier?
Person infected as a result of being in contact with primary case
What is a Secondary Case?
Providing rehabilitation when disease, disorder, or injury has already occurred and caused damage
