Types of Transmission
direct contact or droplets from the host from a reservoir to the host right after. This occurs from physical contact.
Direct transmission
is a place where the agent who is infected lives and starts to multiply over time.
reservoir
chickenpox is what kind of disease?
airborne disease
what is an example of an pandemic ?
Corona Virus
what are the three levels of prevention?
Primary, secondary,and tertiary
when there is no physical human to human contact. Occurs when reservoirs are contaminated.
Indirect Transmission occurs when?
where the pathogen enters the host and stays inside the host.
portal of exit
Hepatitis C is a what type of infection?
Bloodborne infection
A spread of a disease over a certain amount of time that affects a certain group and or population over a certain period of time.
epidemic
to prevent injury or disease before it occurs is considered what prevention?
primary
is when an animal is contaminated and carries the pathogen to another fellow animal without knowing it because the host is not infected with the pathogen.
mechanical transmission
where the pathogen leaves the host body.
port of exit
airborne disease
Is when a person's cough spreads and travels through air and infects other objects and humans
The constant presence of a disease especially in one area
endemic
to detect and control before the disease or the injury from getting any worse is considered what kind of prevention?
secondary
what is an airborne transmission?
it is contagious agents that are affected and are carried by dust particles are any and droplets through the air. The air is like a vessel.
Any agents that are linked such as any mode of transmission, the portal of entry, the portal of exit, mode of transmission, susceptible hosts, infectious agent.
How can agents can get infected?
An example of an illness due to droplets?
Meningitis, whooping cough,flu
It is an epidemic that affects a large part of a population overtime and it usually spread very fast.
pandemic
focuses on the people who have the disease or injury
tertiary
contaminated sources such as foods and medications.
what is an example of vehicle-borne transmission?
anyone whose immune system is weak and compromises where the immune system isn't strong enough to fight back and bacteria enter the portal of entry.
susceptible hosts
It usually occurs when blood is mixed and contaminated with someone else's blood
how does infection in the blood occur?
an example of an endemic
malaria
