EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF DISEASE CONTROL Flashcards
(45 cards)
permanent reduction of the worldwide prevalence of a disease caused by a specific agent to zero
Eradication
animals incorporates with trichinosis
Swine
animals incorporates with Anthrax
Sheep
animals incorporates with Plague
Rodents
animals incorporates with Tularemia
Rabbit
animals incorporates with Rabies
dogs, bats and other mammals
animals incorporates with Brucellosis
Cow and Pig
organism that causes Legionnaires Disease
Legionella Pnemophila
a carrier (mosquito, tick) that takes the disease from an infected individual from an infected individual to an infected one.
vectors
True or False: vector and reservoir must be living things.
False
True or False: A vector usually not a blood sucking insects
False
branch of public health that deals with the study of preventing illness.
Environmental Health
True or False: Radiological Protection is one of the factors in environmental sanitation.
True
True of False: Eradication is the reduction of an infectious disease’s prevalence in single country, continent or other limited geographical area.
False
True or False: Smallpox was considered to be the 2nd infectious disease of humans eradicated
False, it was the first and only disease eradicated.
what material was used by EDWARD JENNER (kylie and kendall screams) as vaccination for small pox
Cowpox lesions
biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease
Vaccine
what type of vaccine that contains the antigen of the microorganism so that your body will produce antibodies against it?
Active Vaccine
A vaccine that refers to the administration of the antibodies itself.
Passive Vaccine
could either be contagious and infectious
Communicable Disease
True or False: in order to be called infectious it needs physical contact with the harmful microorganism
False, infectious is transmitted indirectly, while contagious needs direct contact.
fundamental public health concept on explaining the development of communicable disease.
Epidemiological Triangle Model
what are the three major components in the Epidemiological triangle model
Host/human, vector/disease agent, Environment
study of distribution and determinants of health related states or events and the application on how we apply the study to control off the disease and other health problems.
