Across
  1. 2. asexual method of reproduction for bacteria. Cell copies DNA and splits in half to create two clones.
  2. 7. Rod-shaped bacteria (pill-like)
  3. 8. the type of cell that all bacteria have. No nucleus or membrane bound organelles
  4. 11. The process of a disease spreading from person to person. May be direct or indirect contact.
  5. 13. Examples include mushrooms, molds, mildews, athlete's foot, ringworm
  6. 14. The smallest group of pathogens
  7. 17. When a disease is occuring at a much greater rate than usual across multiple countries or continents
  8. 20. The most deadly parasite on Earth. Infects red blood cells and causes repeated cycles of high fevers, chills, etc. Mosquito vector.
  9. 21. The study of the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases
  10. 24. A parasite that lives on the outside (surface) of the host
  11. 25. Medical treatment given for bacterial infections
  12. 26. Viruses are considered this because they can not reproduce on their own
  13. 27. sprial shaped bacteria
  14. 28. all bacteria have only ONE cell
  15. 29. The baseline level for a disease. What we expect to occur during a regular season or year. Provides a baseline for disease spread.
Down
  1. 1. To stop a disease from spreading or to stop from becoming infected by a disease
  2. 3. A disease that is contagious, such as the flu or strep throat.
  3. 4. When a disease is occuring greater than usual in one region or area
  4. 5. Any microorganism or particle that can cause a disease
  5. 6. An organism that passes on a disease. Ex - ticks, mosquitos,fleas
  6. 9. molecule that viruses inject into host cell so that the host cell can reproduce more viruses
  7. 10. Virus that causes the "flu". Highly contagious. Has caused multiple pandemics throughout history.
  8. 12. A parasite that lives inside of the host. Ex - tapeworms, malaria
  9. 15. Reproductive cell for the kingdom Fungi. May cause mold induced asthma.
  10. 16. Some bacteria and fungi have positive impacts, such as decomposition, help digesting, used to make medicines, etc.
  11. 18. Some bacteria can develop antibiotic _____ through mutations and genetic recombination
  12. 19. spherical shaped bacteria (ex. streptococcus)
  13. 22. Preventative measure used against viruses. Have to take often because viruses can mutate.
  14. 23. A disease that is not contagious, such as diabetes or heart disease
