Fomites
are reservoirs that can transmit diseases but are inanimate.
Vertical Transmission
: a disease that is passed generationally from mother to child.
Horizontal Transmission
: passed directly from a site to a victim.
Outbreak
: Sudden and unexpected emergence of a disease that affects many people but dies out quickly.
Endemic
: A disease that affects low levels of populations, such as a few cities in a country suffering from an issue.
Isolation
- remove the infected individual from the public so that the disease can no longer be transmitted from human to human.
Epidemiology
discusses the different levels of infectiousness and helps lay out the levels for health professions to label health crisiss.
Disinfection
- clean and anywhere or anything that the infected person made contact with.
Pathogen
: Organism that causes infectious disease to a host.
Contagiousness
is huge factor in the infectiousness of a disease.
Quarantine
can also be done by those who have yet to be infected and works to prevent anyone from being infected.
Contagious
or a(n) is a disease that is passible from human to human.
Portal of Entry
can be through the skin, through the mouth, or through the nose when something is inhaled or ingested.
Infectious diseases
are heavily studied across the world and this is known as Epidemiology.
Disinfection
is especially important for Bloodborne Pathogens.
Infectious Diseases
cause millions of death every year and can be leading causes of death.
Pathogen
Organism that causes infectious disease to a host
Endemic
A disease that affects low levels of populations, such as a few cities in a country suffering from an issue
Epidemic
Epidemics affect large numbers of victims in a specific area, such as an entire country being afflicted with something like Polio but the disease not spreading past the borders of the area
Pandemic
Pandemics have a large number of victims and affects large areas
Outbreak
Sudden and unexpected emergence of a disease that affects many people but dies out quickly
Notifiable Disease
Majorly infectious diseases that are considered highly dangerous to the world and must be reported to the World Health Organization
Ex
Measles, Mumps, Smallpox
Horizontal Transmission
passed directly from a site to a victim
Vertical Transmission
a disease that is passed generationally from mother to child
Isolation
remove the infected individual from the public so that the disease can no longer be transmitted from human to human
Quarantine
Quarantine the victim so that they can be safely treated and overcome the disease without endangering others
Disinfection
clean and disinfect anywhere or anything that the infected person made contact with
Examples of Bloodborne Pathogens are things like
HIV, HBV, and HBC
