Tranmission
Pathogens from a reservoir to a susceptible host.
What are Modes of Transmission?
Intervening before health effects occur.
What is primary prevention?
A person or thing that carries an infectious disease.
What is a Carrier?
A set of standard criteria for classifying whether a person has a particular disease.
What is a Case?
Disease that affects a large number of people within a community, population, or region.
What is an epidemic?
Infectious agent is transferred from a reservoir to a susceptible host by direct contact.
What is Direct Transmission?
Preventing exposures to hazards that cause altering unhealthy behaviors that can lead to disease.
What is Active Primary Prevention?
Infected individual who can transmit the disease to others.
What is an Active Carrier?
The person who first brings the disease into a group of people.
What is a Primary Case?
A disease that is spread over multiple countries or continents.
What is a Pandemic?
No human to human contact of a infectious agent.
What is Indirect Transmission?
Detection and treatment of pre-clinical changes.
What is Passive Primary Prevention?
Someone or something that is contaminated with the pathogen and can mechanically transmit it to another host.
What is a Passive Carrier?
A person who gets a disease from exposure to a person with the disease.
What is a Secondary Case?
Something that belongs to a particular people or country.
What is an Endemic?
Diseases capable of being transmitted from the air over time and distance.
What is Airborne Transmission?
Intervening and hoping to put an end to the disease before it fully develops.
What is Secondary Prevention?
Those who can transmit the agent during the incubation period before the incubation period before clinical illness begins.
What is Incubatory Carriers?
Typical clinical features of an illness.
What is a Suspect Case?
A bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
What is a pathogen?
Indirect transmission from a source to another host by inanimate objects.
What is Vehicle-borne Transmission?
Focuses on people who are already infected by disease.
What is Tertiary Prevention?
Individuals who has been exposed to and harbor a pathogen and who can spread the disease at different places or intervals.
What is Intermittent Carriers?
The first identified in a group of a disease.
What is an Index Case?
A disease that can be transmitted to humans from animals.
