Virus, bacteria, fungi, protists
What are the four main types of pathogens?
100
Eyepiece, coarse focus, fine focus, stage.....
What are parts of a microscope?
100
Globes, textbook illustrations of an atom, toy dinosaurs.
What are examples of models?
100
Refers to an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area.
What is an epidemic?
100
This is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease.
What is a vaccine?
200
These can cause sickness, diarrhoea, rashes and life-threatening fevers. They turn your cells into factories to make more copies of these pathogens. HIV is an example.
What are viruses?
200
Most ______________ colonies appear white, cream, or yellow in colour, and fairly circular in shape.
What is bacteria(l)?
200
It allows us to view a concept or object that we would not be able to observe otherwise. Additionally if designed well it can help us understand a concept and make predictions or plans based on our new understanding.
What are the advantages of models?
200
Is the sudden occurrence of a disease in a community, which has never experienced the disease before or when cases of that disease occur in numbers greater than expected in a defined area. The 2014 Ebola scenario in West Africa started as this, which initially affected three countries.
What is an outbreak?
200
Macrophage, T-cell, B-cell, dendritic cell....
What are components of the immune system?
300
They can cause sickness and diarrhoea in your intestines, and life-threatening infections in tissues all over your body. They use a flagella to help the move.
What is E. coli
300
________________colonies generally look similar to bacterial colonies. Some species, such as Candida, can grow as white patches with a glossy surface.
What is yeast?
300
It is only a representation and not the real thing. Therefore it will only be accurate to a certain extent. These can vary widely in quality and so if we will make predictions or plans based on them we need them to be of the highest quality in order to avoid making errors.
What are the disadvantages/weaknesses of models?
300
Name the outbreak that occurred in London in 1854 that was stopped by the scientific analysis of Dr. John Snow.
What is cholera?
300
Proteins in the blood that are produced by the body in response to specific antigens (such as bacteria). Each microbe has different shapes on its surface, that only match one of these.
What are antibodies?
400
Those that survive in our digestive systems cause severe diarrhoea. They can use cilia to move around. They come in many different sizes and shapes.
What are protists or protozoa?
400
Form, surface, opacity, chromogenesis....
What are basic elements you can identify for all colonies.
400
Dr. John Snow, the Centre for Disease Control, Epidemiologists
What is groups or people that use models to help prevent the spread of disease.
400
This refers to an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people. The black death or small pox would be examples.
What is a pandemic?
400
This is a toxin or other foreign substance (such as an invading microbe) which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies
What is an antigen?
500
They grow by making new cells, and spread using spores, which float around in the air. Penicillium roqueforti is an example.
What is fungi?
500
Circular, irregular, filamentous, rhizoid
What are terms to describe the shape/form of a colony?
500
In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number (sometimes called basic reproductive ratio, or incorrectly basic reproductive rate, and denoted) of an infection can be thought of as the number of cases one case generates on average over the course of its infectious period, in an otherwise uninfected population
What is R nought or Ro?
500
A recent increase in amount or virulence of the agent, Agent in a new setting, An enhanced mode of transmission, A change in the susceptibility of the host Factors that increase host exposure or involve introduction through new portals of entry.
What are the causes of an epidemic?
500
These are are prescription medicines (pills, liquid, an inhaled powder, or an intravenous solution) that fight against viral infection in your body. These drugs are not sold over-the-counter. You can only get them if you have a prescription from your doctor or health care provider. These drugs are different from antibiotics, which fight against bacterial infections.
What are anti-viral drugs?
