Introduction to Public Health - Chapter 4
Across
- 1. the type of immunity that occurs when exposure to a disease-causing organism prompts the immune system to develop antibodies against that disease
- 3. a type of disease that cannot be transmitted from one person to another
- 5. a communicable disease that is transmissible under natural conditions from animals to humans
- 9. a person or animal that harbors a communicable agent; serves as a potential source of infection to others
- 11. the separation of infected individuals from those who are susceptible
- 12. a person who is sick with a disease
- 14. describes diseases in which peak severity of symptoms occurs and subsides within 3 months
- 16. capability of a communicable agent to cause disease in a susceptible host
- 19. the level of disease prevention in which early diagnosis and prompt treatment of disease before the disease becomes advanced occurs
- 20. the level of disease prevention in which retraining, re-educating, and rehabilitating the patient has already been affected by a disease occurs
- 21. the planning for and the taking of action to forestall the onset of disease or other health issues
Down
- 2. a type of disease for which biological agents are the cause; transmissible from one individual to another
- 4. a susceptible person or organism invaded by an infectious agent
- 6. the cause of disease or health problem
- 7. the complete elimination of a disease
- 8. describes diseases in which symptoms continue longer than 3 months
- 10. a disease that infects only humans
- 11. ability go a biological agent to enter and grow in a host
- 13. the level of disease prevention before the disease process begins
- 15. the spread of cancer cells to distant parts of the body by the circulatory or lymphatic system
- 17. the type of immunity that occurs when a person receives antibodies against a disease rather than their immune system producing them
- 18. limitation of freedom of movement of those who have been exposed to a disease and may be incubating it
