19
Q

Caused by HIN1 influenza virus.

Spread through airborne droplets from an infected human to another, and possibly through contact with contaminated inanimate objects also known as fomites.

A

AH1NI INFLUENZA

20
Q

Caused by Coxsackievirus A virus. It is transmitted person to person by the feces-to-mouth (fecal-oral) route.

However, they also can be transmitted by contact with oral and respiratory droplets, and thus can be inhaled

A

22
Q

A viral disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes

A

CHIKUNGUNYA

23
Q

A type of fiu that normally happens in birds.

The pathogen is the A H7N9 vinas which appears to have derived from several avian influenza viruses common among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect

domestic poultry and other bird and animal species. In rare cases, it has spread from Infected birds to humans

A

AVIAN INFLUENZA

24
Q

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

“bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa, parasitic worms, rickettsiae”

A

PATHOGEN

31
Q

“The most common reservoir is the human body

A

RESERVOIR

32
Q

It provides a way for a microorganism to leave the reservior

“through the nose, mouth, body feces”

A

PORTAL OF EXIT

33
Q

It is the method by which the organism moves from one host to another.

“direct contact, indirect contact, air-borne, food borne, water-borne, vector-borne”

Q

• It is a person who cannot resists a microorganism invading its body.

A

THE SUSCEPTIBLE HOST

35

A

PRODROMAL STAGE

37
Q

It is the time when Illness reaches its highest point of development for example severe aches, vomiting, high fever, sore throat, and sinus congestion.
