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
Reverse zoonosis
A disease that is transmitted from humans to animals; aka zooanthroponosis
26
Etiologic agent
The specific agent, cause or organism that causes the disease; can be fungal, bacterial, viral, parasitic or protozoan
27
Host
The organism in which a disease producing pathogen lives
28
Dead end host
May contract the organism but will not develop or transmit it to others; prevents the organism from completing its development
29
Carriers
Individuals that harbor the disease causing pathogen but show no clinical signs and can still transmit/spread the disease
30
Incidence
Where and how frequently a disease occurs
31
Reservoirs
Populations of animals that maintain and perpetuate the infectious organism
32
Morbidity
The percentage of the population infected with the disease causing agent that will show signs
33
Mortality
The percentage of the population showing clinical signs that will die
34
Transmission
Route in which a disease is passed from one organism to another
35
Vectors
Organisms that transmit a disease from one animal to another through contact with a secondary host
36
Biological vectors
Organisms that transmit an agent and actually play a part in the development of the disease agent Ex: heartworm in mosquitos
37
Mechanical vectors
Organisms that transmit an agent but have no role in the life cycle Ex: flies
38
Fomites
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
Clinical symptoms
Any abnormality indicative of disease observed on physical examination
40
Symptoms
Any abnormality indicative of disease experienced and described by the patient
41
Diagnosis
The identification of the nature of an illness or other problem by the examination of the symptoms
42
Treatment
Management and care of a patient or the combating of a disease
43
Prevention
Any methods that are used to prevent the contraction and spreading of diseases
44
Reportable diseases
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
