Which type of transmission is conveyed from person to person; direct contact?
direct transmission
Which types of epidemiology is explained below:
Quantifying factors, testing hypotheses, identifying the cause of the health-related event
analytical epidemiology
the chain of infection explains ____ of pathogen
transmission
Prevention of a disease or disorder before it happens
primary prevention
-Number of people in area are infected higher than normal
-w/in community, population, region
-ex/ obesity, influenza
epidemic
Which type of transmission is conveyed through an intermediate such as a doorknob or clothing?
indirect transmission
Which types of epidemiology is explained below:
Characterization of the distribution of health-related states or events
descriptive epidemiology

reservoir
Requires behavior change
Begin exercise, stop smoking
active primary prevention
Epidemic spread across countries and continents
pandemic
Which type of transmission is conveyed via droplets of dust particles?
airborne transmission
What is the stage in the epidemiology triangle that involves biological, chemical, and physical factors that associate with the progression of infection?
causative factors
pathogen spreads by one of the ____ __ _______
modes of transmission
Does not require behavior change
Eating vitamin-enriched foods, fluoride water
passive primary prevention
Belongs to particular ppl or population, constant presence of disease, low level, geographically confined
endemic
Which type of transmission allows the infectious agent to travel via an arthropod like a mosquito?
vector-borne transmission
What is the stage in the epidemiology triangle that involves behavior and culture, physiological factors, and ecological factors?
enviroment
the pathogen enters the body via ___ __ ____
portal of entry
early detection and improvement of the likelihood of cure and reduction of disability or death
Blocks progression of disease
Secondary prevention
Come from a specific traceable source
Example: anthrax was traced to milk/meat from infected animals
Common-source epidemic

group or population
the pathogen infects the ____
host
Block progression of disability
Provide rehab where disease, injury, or disorder has already occurred and caused damage
tertiary prevention
Direct or indirect Transfer of infections from person to person
Example: TB, flu, whooping cough
