Name That Disease
100
Any person, animal, arthropod, plant, soil, or substance; in which an infectious agent normally lives and multiplies.
What is a reservoir?
100
There is essentially an immediate transfer of the agent from a reservoir to a susceptible host.
What is direct contact transmission?
100
The infectious agent must be capable of surviving outside the human host in the external environment.
What is a reservoir for indirect transmission?
100
This transmission occurs by particles that are suspended in air.
What is Airborne indirect transmission?
100
Give an example of direct contact with soil?
What is tetanus?
200
A person or animal that afford subsistence to an infectious agent under natural conditions.
What is a host?
200
The best way to prevent direct contact transmission.
What is wash your hands?
200
An infectious agent is carried from a reservoir to a susceptible host by an inanimate intermediary.
What is vehicle borne indirect transmission?
200
What are types of particles for indirect airborne.
What is dust and droplet nuclei?
200
Give an example of direct transmission droplet infection.
What is the common cold?
300
Any mechanism by which an infectious agent is spread from a source or reservoir to a person.
What is a mechanism of transmission?
300
Direct projection of a spray of droplets of saliva and nasopharyngeal secretions.
What is droplet infection transmission?
300
Vehicle borne indirect transmission can include:
What are contaminated food or water, biological products, and fomites?
300
Infectious particles blown from the soil by the wind are.
What are dust airborne particles?
300
Give an example of indirect vehicle borne food or water transmission.
What is typhoid?
400
Capacity of an agent to cause clinical disease in the infected host.
What is pathogenicity?
400
Usually limited to a distance of 1 meter droplet infection can be attributed to.
What is close proximity or overcrowding or lack of ventilation?
400
An arthropod or any living carrier that transport an infectious agent to a susceptible individual.
What is a Vector-borne indirect transmission?
400
These are less than 5microns in size and may remain suspended in the air for long periods of time.
What are droplet nuclei?
400
Give an example of vector borne indirect mechanical transmission.
What is Shigella?
500
Capacity of an agent to enter and multiply in a susceptible host.
What is infectivity?
500
Direct exposure of the susceptible tissues to the disease agent in the soil.
What is direct transmission contact with soil?
500
Mechanical and biological transmission differ by if the agent undergoes changes/multiplication is an example of.
What is specific Vector-borne indirect transmission?
500
This type of transmission has a projection of greater than a meter.
What is airborne transmission?
500
Give an example indirect droplet nuclei transmission.
What is Legionnaires' disease?
