Types of Carriers
An infected person
What is a carrier
all the different ways pathogens are transferred
What are Modes of Transmission?
prevent a disease before it happens
what is Primary prevention?
a person that was diagnosed with something
What is a Case?
A field of science that studies health problems within populations
What is Epidemiology?
A person who has had the ability to transfer the pathogen for a long time even if they recovered already
What is an Active carrier
the direct transfer of a pathogen from person to person
VS
transfer of the pathogen through an intermediate object or organism
What is Direct transmission
VS
indirect transmission?
early medical prevention such as screenings and checkups
What is Secondary prevention?
The first case in a population
What is the Primary case?
when the number of cases is above the norm.
What is an epidemic?
a carrier in the beginning stages of the virus
What is an incubatory carrier?
The transfer of pathogen via respiratory droplets that aerosolize in air
What is Airborne transmission?
limit damage after disease has struck
What is Tertiary prevention?
someone who gets the virus from a primary
What is the Secondary case?
an epidemic that affects a larger geographical area.
What is a pandemic?
someone who is recovering but can still pass the pathogen on
What is a Convalescent carrier
transfer of pathogen through needle use or another vehicle.
What is Vehicle-borne transmission?
no behavior change needed to prevent the disease
what is Passive primary prevention?
someone who has all the symptoms of the virus but was not diagnosed
What is The Suspect case
a programs ability to teach something to the people that attend
What is Efficacy?
a carrier that can spread the virus at different locations and times
What is an Intermittent carrier?
Vector-borne transmission
Mechanical transmission
Biological transmission
What is transfer of pathogen using a vector,
the pathogen uses a host to spread, and
transfer of pathogen that reproduces or develops while in a vector
healthy preemptive actions to stop a disease before it occurs
What is Active primary prevention?
the first care known by an epidemiologist
What is the Index case?
invertebrates that transfer disease to humans
What is a Vector
