23
Q

The most common chlamydial infection is

A

Transmitted through sexual contact

24
Q

It is found almost everywhere on the earth

A

Fungi

25

They live in organic matter, soil, water, animals, and plants

A

Fungi

26
Q

They also live inside and outside of the body

A

Fungi

27
Q

They are much larger than bacteria

A

Protozoan

A

Protozoan

29
Q

Live on or wiithin other organism

A

Parasites

30
Q

They live at the expense of others and they don’t usually kill their host but take only the nutrients they need

A

Parasites

31
Q

Refers to the environment and objects on which an organism survived and multiplies

A

Reservoir of infection

32
Q

3 reservoir of infection

A

Human reservoir
Animals
Nonliving things

33
Q

Types of carriers

A

Incubatory carrier
Convalescent carrier
Intermittent carrier
Chronic or sustained carrier

34
Q

a person who is incubating the illness

A

Incubatory carrier

35
Q

Occasionally sheds the pathogenic organism

A

Intermittent carrier

36
Q

A person who always has the infectious organism in his/her system

A

Chronic or sustained carrier

37
Q

A person who is at the recovery stage of illness

A

Convalescent Carrier

38
Q

The path or way in which the organism leaves the reservoir

A

Portal of exit

39
Q

The Common Portal of Exit

A

Respiratory system
Genitourinary tract
Gastrointestinal tract
Skin and mucous membrane
Placenta

40
Q

The infectious agent passes through from the portal of exit of the reservoir to the susceptible host

A

Mode of Transmission

41
Q

4 models / types of transmission

A

Contact transmission
Air borne transmission
Vehicle transmission
Vector borne transmission

42
Q

The most common type of transmission

A

Contact transmission

43
Q

3 types of contact transmission

A

Direct contact
Indirect contact
Droplet spread

44
Q

Occurs when a susceptible person comes in contact with a contaminated object

A

Indirect contact

45
Q

A transmission through contact with respiratory secretions when the infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks

A

Droplet spread

46
Q

Refers to a person to person transder of organism

A

Direct contact

47
Q

Occurs when a susceptible person comes in contact with a contaminated object

A

Indirect contact

48
Q

When fine microbial particles or dust particles containing microbes remain suspended in the air for a prolonged period

A

Air borne transmission

49
Q

Occurs when intermediate carriers such as fleas, flies, and mosquitoes transfer microbes to another living organism

A

Vector borne transmission

50
Q

The transmission of infectious disease through articles or substances that harbor the organism until it is ingested or inoculated into the host

A

Vehicle transmission

51
Q

The venue where the organism gains entrance into the susceptible host

A

Portal of entry
