Disease Detectives

1. An epidemic occurring over a very wide area (several countries or continents) and usually affecting a large proportion of the population.
5. This, in the natural history and spectrum of disease, for Virus-12-25, would be the office that Ebenezer works at because Fred got the disease there.
6. Emily will get sick LATER, but can transmit the disease right now. Type of carrier.
7. For Virus-12-25, this would be the human upper respiratory tract, where the virus reproduces.
9. This type of epidemiology would be Ebenezer testing for the exposure (even though he already knows).
10. An inanimate object that helps transmits disease.

1. If Fred educated his friends about how to remove risk factors, this is the type of prevention.
2. Any factor that brings about change in a health condition or other defined characteristic.
3. If Ebenezer reduced the amount of cases of Virus-12-25, this is the level of control and prevention it would be.
4. The occurrence of more cases of disease, injury, or other health condition than expected in a given area or among a specific group of persons during a specific period.
8. A living thing that transmits disease
