  10. 23. __________immunity develops from previous natural exposure to an infectious agent
  11. 24. vehicle Refers to transportation of the infectious agent from an infected host to a susceptible host via food, water, milk, blood, serum, saliva, or plasma
  12. 25. Refers to an epidemic occurring worldwide and affecting large populations
  13. 27. immunity refers to the immunity of a group or community, based on resistance of a high proportion of individual members of a group to infection

  7. 11. __________transmission person-to-person spread of infection through one or more of four routes
  8. 12. Refers to the entry, development, and multiplication of the infectious agent in the susceptible host
  9. 13. Ability to produce a specific clinical reaction after infection occurs
  10. 16. Gathers the “who, when, where, and what”; these elements are then used to answer “why.”
  11. 17. Ability to stimulate an immunologic response
  12. 21. Major categories of these include: bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses
  13. 22. Ability to produce a severe pathologic reaction
  14. 26. Measure of the potential ability of an infected host to transmit the infection to other hosts
