Les Zoonoses Flashcards
What is prévalence?
all old and new cases of an illness
What is incidence?
only the new cases of an illnesses (shows the risk)
can cause epidemics if the incidence increases above what is normally found in a population
What is an epidemic called when its in animals?
Épizootie
What is an endemic?
(of a disease or condition) regularly found among particular people or in a certain area
In animals: enzootie
What is a zoonose?
Toute infection naturellement transmissible entre un animal et l’humain
Can be direct transmission of through a vector (water, food, insect)
What is an anthropozoonose?
une maladie ou infection qui se transmet naturellement des animaux vertébrés à l’être humain
What is a zooanthroponose?
maladie ou infection qui se transmet naturellement de l’homme aux animaux vertébrés
What infectious agents are responsible for zoonoses?
Bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, unconventional infectious agents (ex: prions —> Mad Cow disease)
What is a maladie infectieuse émergeante?
infection don’t l’incidence s’est accrue depuis les derniers 20 ans et qui menacent de continuer à s’accroître
Have practically quadruples since 1960 —> 20% caused by resistance to treatment, 60-70% are zoonoses
Maladies infectieuses émergeants are usually associated with what? (3 things)
- Évolution des microbes: virulence, résistance, adaptation à un nouvel hôte (franchir la “barrière des espèces”)
- Perturbations de l’environnement: habitat, climat, agriculture intensive
- Perturbations de l’hôte: age, immunosuppressed population
What is a primary host?
a host that naturally allows an infectious agent to multiply which aids in its transmission to another host
It’s an important reservoir for the disease
What is a secondary host?
un hôte qui héberge un agent infectieux de façon transitoire
sometimes required to assure the development/maturation of infectious agent to complete the infectious cycle
if not required… can work as occasional hosts or as reservoirs
What is a “terminal” host?
secondary host that is unable to transmit the infectious agent to a primary host which stops the propagation of the infectious cycle
usually humans in the case of emerging zoonoses
What is a reservoir?
Ecological system in which a zoonotic agent indefinitely survives
such as:
- secondary hosts, vectors, biotope (milieu de vie du pathogène)
What diseases are not considered zoonoses?
Malaria (Plasmodium faciparum), schistosomiase (snail fever), onchocercose
no longer considered zoonoses because humans are now the primary host necessary for their infectious cycle
the “barrière inter-espèce” was crossed a long time ago
Common diseases that are no longer zoonoses:
Started as zoonoses… now primarily through spread interhuman contact
COVID, diphtheria, influenza, certain forms of the common cold, measles, smallpox, HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis
