What is Case?

What is Primary Case?
Am individual who has been wxposes to and harbors a pathogen for but is not showing any symptoms.
What is Healthy Carrier?
Does not require behavior changes for a individual to prevent themselves from a disease.
What is Passive Primary Prevention?
When the pathogen undergoes changes as part of its life cycle while within the host before being transmitted to a new host.
What is Biological transmission?
A field of science that studies health problems within populations
What is Epidemiology?
a result of a person being affected after coming in contact with the primary case.
What is Secondary case?
An individual who has a pathogen is in the beginning stagers and can affect other people
What is Incubatory Carrier?
Aimed at the health screening and detection activities used to identify diseases.
What is Secondary Prevention?
When a pathogen uses a host such as a fly to as a mechanism for a ride for nourishment.
What is Mechanical transmission?
involves finding and quantifying associations, testing hypotheses, and identifying causes of health- related states or events
What is Analytic Epidemiology

What is Tertiary Prevention?
Occurs when an arthropod such as a mosquito conveys the infectious agent.
