Preventing the occurrence of a disease is what kind of prevention?
Primary
What is the goal of primary prevention?
Maintaining a healthy population.
Vaccination to protect individuals and populations is what type of prevention?
Primary prevention
Border security, meat hygiene, inspection, HACCP programs (keep pathogens out) are examples of what type of prevention?
Primary prevention
Removing specified risk material from food/feed is an example of what type of prevention?
Primary prevention
Which type of prevention attempts to minimize damage after disease has occurred?
Secondary prevention
Screening for breast cancer, prostate cancer is an example of what type of prevention?
Secondary prevention
Physical examination with annual vaccination of pets and annual blood work in geriatric pets is an examples of what type of prevention?
Secondary prevention
Test and slaughter, stamping out are examples of what type of prevention?
Secondary prevention
Which type of prevention consists of rehabilitation after primary and secondary prevention have failed?
Tertiary prevention
Which type of prevention applies mostly to the individual?
Tertiary prevention
Which type of prevention is for the symptomatic, disease patient or population?
Tertiary prevention
The goal for which type of prevention is to reduce complications, slow down the progression and reduce the severity of the symptoms?
Tertiary prevention
Which type of prevention helps to maintain the best quality of life possible?

Tertiary prevention
Steps taken to reduce a disease problem to a tolerable level and maintain it at that level are representative of what?
Control
Control is similar to what?
Secondary prevention
What is the final step in disease control efforts that consists of complete elimination of the disease-producing agent from a defined geographic region?
Eradication
When a disease agent has been completely removed from the area of concern, this is known as what?
Total eradication
Elimination of an organism from the reservoirs of importance to humans or their domestic animals is known as what?
Practical eradication
What is an example of practical eradication seen in the US?
Rabies
What are 3 principles of disease control and eradication?
- Reservoir neutralization
- Reducing contact potential (between infected and susceptible)
- Increasing host resistance
What are 3 forms of reservoir neutralization?
- Removing infected individuals
- Rendering infected individuals, non-shedders
- Manipulating environment
Test and slaughter is an example of which principle?
Reservoir neutralization
Mass therapy, treating without first testing, is an example of which principle?
Reservoir neutralization
Vaccination is an example of which principle?
Reservoir neutralization
Parasite/mosquito control is an example of which principle?
Reservoir neutralization
What are 3 examples of reducing contact potential?
- Isolation or treatment of cases
- Quarantine of possible infected
- Population control and reduction
US leash laws as an effort to control rabies and reduce fecal contamination are an example of which principle?
Reducing contact potential
Capturing and euthanizing stray dogs, in an attempt to control rabies, is an example of which principle?
Reducing contact potential
