  1. 3. of entry - refers to the manner in which a pathogen enters a susceptible host.
  2. 9. various infectious proteins that are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins.
  3. 13. - the passing of a pathogen causing communicable disease from an infected host individual or group to a particular individual or group, regardless of whether the other individual was previously infected.
  4. 14. - that is pathogenic for some other species lives and multiplies typically without damaging the host.
  5. 15. Anything that stimulates an immune response.
  6. 16. host - The person who is at risk for developing an infection from the disease.

  1. 1. of exit - For a human reservoir, the portal of exit can include blood, respiratory secretions, and anything exciting from the gastrointestinal or urinary tracts.
  2. 2. contact Disease transmission that occurs when a susceptible host touches an infected individual or is exposed to their body fluids.
  3. 3. Any eukaryotic protist of the phylum or subkingdom Protozoa.
  4. 4. immunity - Active immunity: acquired as a result of infection and recovery or from a vaccine; your body makes its own antibodies.
  5. 5. agent - Infectious agents are organisms that are capable of producing infection or infectious disease. They include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites.
  6. 6. A single-celled, prokaryotic microorganism.
  7. 7. Saprophytic and parasitic spore-producing eukaryotic organisms that lack chlorophyll, such as molds, rusts, mildews, smuts, mushrooms, and yeasts.
  8. 8. A large, eukaryotic, multicellular, parasitic worm, such as a tapeworm, liver fluke, ascarid, or leech.
  9. 10. contact Disease transmission occurs when a susceptible host inhales infected particles, touches an infected object, or is bitten by an infected insect.
  10. 11. immunity - Non-specific immune defense mechanisms that we are born with. These mechanisms work to keep anything outside of us from coming in.
  11. 12. Any of a large group of nonliving, submicroscopic infective agents that typically comprise an RNA or DNA core of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat.
