Class 1 Flashcards
What percent of zoonoses caused IED?
75%
Most common non-human animal sources of EID?
insects, domesticated animals, swine, bats, rodent
Stages of transmission
Stage 1: agent in animals only
Stage 2: primary infection
Stage 3:
Stage 4:
Stage 5:
What causes decreases in ID 20th century?
housing, nutrition, antibiotics, hygiene, immuniations, safter food/water
Factors influence in emergence of diseases
changes in demographics, environmental changes, international commerce, microbial adaptation, changes in tech
Determinants of ID Emergence and Spread
Tech
Breakdown PH measures
Factors that increase ID
rising world pop: Developing countries huge rise, Industrial countries- near zero
What is Immune senescence
The aging of the immune system
factors in emerging ID
Greater Host susceptibility: malnutrition, Immunosuppressive therapy, HIV, malignancy, transplantation
Factors in EID
Social and behavioral factors: culture, family work dynamics, travel, antimicrobial use, sexual contact…
IED factors
Day care centers: increase Dual incomes, soread
factors IED
Smokinf, IDU (increase HIV, HepB,C, Adventurous activities, spelunking etc.
Factors increasing EID
Administered in ways that increase resistance
result = increase resistance and outbreaks
Factors increasing EID
Farm to table: many different points food can become contaminated
Factors affecting EID
Climate variability: southern oscillation index: el nino/la nina. End result: winter with el nino- dry/warm, wet/warm: great potential affect vector born disease.
