Prevention
Aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs
What is primary prevention ?
Skin to skin contact
What is direct transmission ?
No experience with having symptoms even when infected
What is a passive carrier ?
An illness that occurred suddenly
What is an epidemic ?
From animals to humans
What is zoonosis ?
Aims to reduce the impact of a disease or injury that has already occurred
What is secondary prevention ?
Usually carried by dust (particles blown)
What is airborne transmission ?
They have the ability to transmit an agent during the incubation period before clinical illness begins
What are incubatory carriers ?
This illness is usually prevalent of a specific area or group
What is an endemic ?
The type of care to help you get back on your feet
What is rehabilitation ?
Aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects
What is tertiary prevention ?
Food, water, and blood, carry pathogens
What is vehicle-borne transmission ?
One who harbors an infectious organism
What is an intermittent carrier ?
Covid-19
What is a pandemic ?
When specimens are bred
What is propagate ?
Ann has changed to a healthier lifestyle by exercising daily and eating nutritional foods
What is active primary prevention ?
Pests such as fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks, carry infectious agents
What is vector-borne transmission ?
The one who has had a pathogenic organism for a significant amount of time, and can pass the infection to others
What is an active carrier ?
This is when common source and propagated characteristics are both shown
What is a mixed epidemic ?
The desired result
What is efficacy ?
Clean water is a public health effort that isn't necessarily involved with a specific individual.
What is passive primary prevention ?
A pathogen has transferred from an infected host to a susceptible host
What is mechanical transmission ?
When it has recovered but still capable of transmitting the infectious agents to others
What is a convalescent carrier ?
Something that is likely to carry infection
What is a fomite ?
Using this you can quantify the relationships between exposures and outcomes
What is analytic epidemiology ?
