Disease transmission
There are two general methods of how diseases are transmitted, direct and indirect transmission.
What is modes of transmission?
The process linked by an infectious agent , reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host.
What is chain of infection?
An epidemic that affects or attacks the population of an extensive region.
What is pandemic?
A way that disease or disorder is prevented before it happens.
What is primary prevention?
The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in human population and the application of this study the prevention and control of health problems
What is epidemiology?
Droplets or dust particles carry the pathogen to the susceptible host and infects them.
What is airborne transmission?
Can receive or is more likely to receive the disease.
What is susceptible host?
The occurrence of cases of an illness or a specific health related behavior or event.
What is epidemic?
Prevention aimed at the health screening and detection activities used to identify disease.
What is secondary prevention?
A person in a population who has been identifies as having a particular disease or disorder.
What is a case?
The transfer of an infectious agent from one person to another is interrupter and immediate.
What is direct transmission?
The pathogen in the chain of infection.
What is infectious agent?
The adjective that describes and refers to the ongoing and constant presence of a disease among a group of people.
What is endemic?
Prevention consisting of limiting any disability by providing rehabilitation when a disease or disorder has already occurred.
What is tertiary prevention?
Part of the triangle of epidemiology where things that effect the disease can originate from biological, chemical, or physical.
What is causative factors?
An inanimate object conveys an infectious agent to a host.
What is vehicle-borne transmission?
The pathogen can reside in a human, animal, or environment.
What is reservoir?
What is a common-source epidemic?
The attempt to restore an afflicted person to a useful lifestyle.
What is rehabilitation?
Refers to the ability of a program to produce benefits among those who are offered the program.
What is effectiveness?
An arthropod transmits the pathogen to the host but does not cause the disease itself.
What is vector-borne transmission?
Disease transmission occurs when the pathogen enters the infected individual.
What is portal of entry?
One of the primary types of infectious-disease occurrence that arises from infections being transmitted from one infected person to another.
What is propagated epidemic?
Prevention that does not require behavior change on the part of the individual.
What is passive primary prevention?
Refers to the ability of a program to produce a desired effect among those who participate in the program compared with those who do not.
What is efficacy?
