23
Q

Zoonosis

A

A disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans

24
Q

Emerging disease

A

A disease that is newly recognized/evolved or showing an increase in incidence in location, host or vector range

25
Q

Reverse zoonosis

A

A disease that is transmitted from humans to animals; aka zooanthroponosis

26
Q

Etiologic agent

A

The specific agent, cause or organism that causes the disease; can be fungal, bacterial, viral, parasitic or protozoan

27
Q

Host

A

The organism in which a disease producing pathogen lives

28
Q

Dead end host

A

May contract the organism but will not develop or transmit it to others; prevents the organism from completing its development

29
Q

Carriers

A

Individuals that harbor the disease causing pathogen but show no clinical signs and can still transmit/spread the disease

30
Q

Incidence

A

Where and how frequently a disease occurs

31
Q

Reservoirs

A

Populations of animals that maintain and perpetuate the infectious organism

32
Q

Morbidity

A

The percentage of the population infected with the disease causing agent that will show signs

33
Q

Mortality

A

The percentage of the population showing clinical signs that will die

34
Q

Transmission

A

Route in which a disease is passed from one organism to another

35
Q

Vectors

A

Organisms that transmit a disease from one animal to another through contact with a secondary host

36
Q

Biological vectors

A

Organisms that transmit an agent and actually play a part in the development of the disease agent
Ex: heartworm in mosquitos

37
Q

Mechanical vectors

A

Organisms that transmit an agent but have no role in the life cycle
Ex: flies

38
Q

Fomites

A

Inanimate objects that are capable of transmitting infectious agents and spreading disease from one individual to another through indirect contact
Ex: food/water bowls, toys, brushes, etc.

39
Q

Clinical symptoms

A

Any abnormality indicative of disease observed on physical examination

40
Q

Symptoms

A

Any abnormality indicative of disease experienced and described by the patient

41
Q

Diagnosis

A

The identification of the nature of an illness or other problem by the examination of the symptoms

42
Q

Treatment

A

Management and care of a patient or the combating of a disease

43
Q

Prevention

A

Any methods that are used to prevent the contraction and spreading of diseases

44
Q

Reportable diseases

A

A disease that must be reported to federal, state or local health officials when it is diagnosed due to the significant threat to human or animal health
