Across
- 2. (stages in infection) The time between exposure to a pathogen and the onset of symptoms
- 4. A sudden increase in the number of cases of a disease
- 9. Pathogens that can only reproduce in host cells to be able to survive
- 11. Infection that spreads throughout the body
- 14. A major change in viral genetics that occurs through recombination or reassortment between two different strains of a virus which can lead to the emergence of new viral subtypes
- 15. (stages in infection) Symptoms are intense and sudden, lasting from days to a few weeks. The innate immune response begins rapidly, followed by the adaptive immune response
Down
- 1. ability of a given pathogen to infect a specific location
- 3. the ability of a virus to cause disease in a host
- 5. Diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans
- 6. Microorganism that can cause disease
- 7. The degree of pathogenicity or the ability of a microbe to cause disease.
- 8. A disease that is regularly found in a certain geographic area
- 10. type of infection caused by organisms that typically do not cause disease in a healthy host but can do so in immunocompromised individuals
- 12. (stages in infection) Occurs if the infection persists for months/years. The adaptive immune response may persist over this time, with symptoms possibly reoccurring or being mild
- 13. release of virus progeny following successful reproduction during a host cell infection
