Agents of Disease
Chain of Infection
Immune System
Pandemic Prevention
Microbiology
100
This/these agent(s) of disease is/are a non-living.
Prion and Virus
100
This type of spread occurs while symptoms are present like coughing or sneezing.
Symptomatic Spread
100
This type of immunity is only gained through exposure to a pathogen.
Naturally Acquired
100
These types of preventative measures include drugs and vaccines.
PIs (pharmaceutical interventions)
100
These types of infections are acquired while being treated at a hospital or medical facility.
Nosocomial
200
This/these agent(s) of disease is/are a living, single celled, eukaryotic organisms.
Protist
200
This component of the chain of infection refers to the source of the pathogen.
Reservoir
200
There were 100 cases of a new pathogen yesterday, and 200 new cases today. This is the R-naught value of this pathogen.
R0 = 2, very infectious
200
Hospitals and medical facilities are stressed beyond their resources when this occurs.
Medical Surge
200
This is the gram stain result for this bacteria
Gram Negative
300
This term is used to describe a pathogen that has spread quickly to infect a LARGE number of people in a region or continent.
Epidemic
300
This type of spread occurs before symptoms are developed and can transmit a pathogen without the host knowing.
Pre-symptomatic Spread
300
Name 3 components of the innate immune system.
Anything that naturally defends your body! (mucus, tears, acid, saliva, cilia, secretions, etc.)
300
This level of prevention includes things like early detection tests and medications to treat mild conditions.
Secondary Prevention
300
This is the cellular morphology of this bacteria.
Bacilli (Rod)
400
This/These agent(s) of disease can be treated with vaccines.
Bacteria and Virus
400
An example of this category of transmission is becoming infected through a bug bite.
Indirect
400
These immune system cells are responsible for creating antibodies to disrupt foreign pathogens.
B-Cells
400
This level of prevention includes things like masks, social distancing, and business closures
Primary Prevention
400
When two bacterial species are visually morphologically identical, this is another way to differentiate between them visually.
Metabolism
500
This term can be used to describe a situation where a SMALL number of people in many areas are become infected with a pathogen.
Endemic
500
These are all 6 components of the chain of infection.
Agent of Disease, Reservoir, Portal of Entry, Mode of Transmission, Portal of Exit, Susceptible Host.
500
This is another name for a foreign body that enters your system, which can be recognized by your immune system cells.
Antigen
500
Vaccines provide you with this type of immunity.
Artificially Acquired Immunity
500
This is the cell wall component that allows us to differentiate between Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria.
