is on that is always present within the population of a particular geographic area (ex. staphylococcal and streptococcal infections)

endemic disease

is defined as a greater than usual number of cases of a disease in a particular region, usually within a short period of time (ex. the cryptosporidiosis epidemic of 1993)

epidemic disease

also develop ways to prevent, control, or eradicate diseases in populations

epidemiologists

inanimate objects capable of transmitting pathogens (ex. bedding, towels, eating and drinking utensils, hospital equipment, telephones, computer keyboards, etc.)

fomites

the _______ of particular disease is the number f new cases of that disease in a defined population during a specific time period

incidence

fleas, mosquitoes, lice are examples of

major steps in water treatment

ensure that persons exposed to a pathogen are protected against the disease

measure for prevention and control of epidemics

identify and control potential reservoirs and vectors of infectious diseases

measure for prevention and control of epidemics

increases host resistance through the development and administration of vaccines that induce active immunity and maintain it in susceptible persons

measure for prevention and control of epidemics

segregate, isolate, and treat those who have contracted a contagious infection to prevent the spread of the pathogen to others

nationally notifiable

air, soil, dust, contaminated water and food, and fomites

nonliving reservoirs

is a disease that is occurring in epidemic proportions in many countries at the same time. EX. include influenza, HIV/AIDs, Tuberculosis, Malaria

pandemic

consists mainly of water, fecal material, garbage, and bacteria

raw sewage (sewage treatment)

is one that occurs occasionally within the population of a particular geographic area (ex. tetanus)

sporadic disease

physical factors such as climate, season, and geographic location; availability of appropriate reservoirs; sanitary and housing conditions; and availability of potable water

the environment

health status, nutritional status, hygiene, age, travel, lifestyle, etc.

the host

when arthropods are involved in the transmission of infectious diseases, they are referred to as

vectors

is the most essential resource necessary for the survival of humanity

water

is tested for fecal contamination by checking for the presence of coliform bacteria (coliforms), such as E. coli and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae
