Disease Carriers
A host who is actively still spreading disease.
What is an Active Carrier?
The study of disease and events that attribute to disease in populations and people.
What is Epidemiology?
Where pathogens live.
What is a Reservoir?
The first disease case brought to the attention of epidemiologists.
Preventing a disease or disorder before it happens.
What is Primary Prevention?
An asymptomatic host who spreads the disease.
What is a Healthy/Passive carrier?
Describing how a disease is moving though a population.
What is Descriptive Epidemiology?
An in animate object that is capable of disease transmission.
What is a Fomite?
What is an Endemic?
This method of prevention requires a behavioral change on the persons account to prevent infection.
What is Active Primary Prevention?
An infected host who is just starting to display symptoms (i.e is in the incubation period) and has the ability to spread disease.
What is an Incubatory Carrier
Higher than normal cases of a disease in a community of people in a given time.
What is an Epidemic?
An invertebrate animal that transmits disease.
What is a Vector?
A person who has been noted to have the symptoms of a disease but has not yet been diagnosed.
What is a Suspect Case?
Health screenings, and other detection methods aimed at preventing disease severity by early detection.
What is Secondary Prevention?
An infected host who has the ability to spread a disease to many different places or via many different time intervals
What is an Intermittent Carrier?
Describing how disease moves through a population.
A non-living method of transport that carries pathogens from their reservoir to susceptible hosts.
What is a Vehicle?
The entire duration of disease from the moment of infection to incubation and finally to either recovery of host or death.
What is time?
The act of limiting disease progression after diagnoses by providing proper treatment and rehabilitation.
What is Tertiary Prevention?
A host in the recovery phase of disease who is still infectious.
What is a Convalescent Carrier?
The active pursuit of finding and calculating disease data, testing hypothesis, finding correlations, and identifying the cause of disease in populations.
What is Analytic Epidemiology?
An infectious disease in humans caused by a pathogen that normally infects vertebrate animals.
What is Zoonosis
The ability of a program to REACH/ be within reach of the people who could benefit from its effects.
The attempt to restore a person with a disease back to functional health.
What is Rehabilitation?
