When a disease occurs in an infrequent or isolated manner
What is Sporadic
Microorganism that can cause disease
What is Infectious Agent
Stopping a disease before it occurs
What is Primary Prevention
Individual who carries a microorganism bud but doesn't show any disease or symptoms
What is Healthy or Passive Carrier
Infectious agent jumps from the reservoir to host due to skin-to-skin contact or droplet spread
What is Direct Transmission
When a disease is native to an area/population and is present at a low level
What is Endemic
Where microorganism can live and sustain itself
What is resevoir
Encouraging people to take control of their health and better it
What is Health Promotion
An individual who carries a pathogenic organism and is able to transmit it to others
Transfer of infectious agent through an inanimate object
What is Indirect Transmission
When a disease is at an above-average increase in cases to a limited area
What is outbreak
How microorganism leaves place of inhabitance
What is Portal of Exit
Needing an individual to want to take charge of their health in order to make effective changes
What is Active Primary Prevention
People who can transmit infectious agent before illness shows
What is Incubatory Carrier
Infections that come from bites of infected arthropods like ticks and blackflies
What is Vector-borne Transmission
When there is a sudden increase in disease cases (way above-average) within a community or place
What is Epidemic
How infection begins within another person
What is Portal of Entry
When experts work to create policies, regulations, or conduct research that keeps people safe from threats like disease and environmental factors
What is Health Protection
Individual who carries an infectious agent periodically
What is Intermittent Carrier
Bacteria or viruses that are spread through droplets that come from sneezes, coughs, etc.
What is Airborne Diseases
When a disease spreads uncontrollably across multiple countries or continents and affects many people
What is Pandemic
Individual who is vulnerable to infection
What is Susceptible Host
Preventative ways that do not need a person to take action for protection
What is Passive Prevention
Individual who was infected by a microorganism and is recovering; does not have any more symptoms, but spread the microorganism to their surrounding environment
What is Convalescent Carriers
Pathogen is indirectly transferred from source to another host by passing (traveling) inanimate object
What is Vehicle-borne Transmission
