Definitions
A model that consists of 4 elements: host, agent, environment, and time
What is a epidemiology model?
Vapors rising from a rotting refuse or stagnant water
What is miasmas?
A human in which diseases occur
What is the host?
Indirect transmission to humans by mosquito water
What is modes of transmission?
A connection between a stressor (environmental factors) and health issues/diseases
What is association?
The study and analysis of health and disease conditions within a population
What is epidemiology?
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile
What is humors?
Able to move between an agent and host, causing the spread of a disease
What is a vector?
Carried on tiny particles that stay suspended in the air and travel on air currents
What is airborne transmission?
Level of prevention is used when the host begins to react to the agent or in the pathogenesis stage.
What is secondary prevention?
Who, what, where, when, why, and how
What is epidemiology variables?
First father of epidemiology
Who is Hippocrates?

What is the agent?
Person to person transmission
What is direct transmission?
Level of prevention may include rehabilitation or palliative care

What are the 6 links of break the chain?
The first to claim that a disease was transferred from one person to another person who then develops the disease, called contagion
Who is Fracastorius?
Used to show the relationship between the elements of the epidemiology model
What is venn diagram?
Including both a vehicle and vector-borne contact
What is indirect transmission?
A confirmed relationship between a stressor and a disease
What is causation?
Feces, water, and food
What are examples of a reservoir?
The roman emperor's personal physician who added two new elements to Hippocrates humors
Who is Galen?
Within the epidemiology model, this is needed for disease to happen
What is the interaction of the agent, host, and environment?
a transfer of infectious agent from a vector's body to the host
What is a mechanical vector?
Used when there are indirect and direct causes (often including the DOH) that is related to health issues
What is a web of causation?
