Test Two Flashcards
Endemic
Disease that occurs in the same place and in the same way year after year.
Epidemiology-
The study of disease development
Epidemic
Outburst in high damaging populations
Causal agent is usually easily spread by wind or air
Disease triangle
Seseptable host
Pathogen
Favorable conditions/ environment
Susceptibility
Refers to how resistant a host is to permitting the attack of a pathogen
Tolerance
How capable the host is of sustaining without serious injury or less
Pathogenicity
Ability to cause disease
Virulence
Refers to the aggressiveness of the pathogen
Influence efficacy
Reproduction (ability to reproduce) (adapt to reproduction problems
Ability to survive w/o host
Environment factors
Tempature, perspiration/humidity
Disease cycle:
1.inoculum
2. Inoculation
3. Spores germinate
