Across
- 1. sudden, major genetic change from reassortment of two or more distinct viral strains.
- 5. Intrauterine infections that occur specifically during pregnancy when pathogens bypass maternal defenses to infect the developing fetus.
- 7. Reemerging pathogens demonstrating a clear resurgence
- 8. exfoliative toxins by Group II staphylococci. More common in infants due to immature renal clearance of the toxin. Widespread epidermal shearing and blistering.
- 9. Pathogens passed from mother to baby via the placenta during gestation, or through direct mucosal contact during late pregnancy and delivery.
- 10. The successful establishment, replication, and subsequent chain of transmission of that pathogen within the new host population.
- 11. Small, gradual genetic mutations (point mutations) that occur randomly over time as virus replicates
- 13. Any medical condition present at birth, regardless of its primary origin (genetic, structural, or infectious).
- 15. Children frequently acquire Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) via direct contact with asymptomatic adults or individuals with active cold sores
- 16. Common name for Staphylococcal Conjunctivitis
- 17. High-incidence bracket for pathogens for young adults including Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, Hepatitis B and C, and HIV
Down
- 2. the progressive, age-associated decline in overall immune function
- 3. A highly superficial, contagious skin infection. The most common form is caused by Staphylococcus species, presenting with classic honey-colored crusts around the mouth and nose
- 4. Driven by orthomyxoviruses; dense living and social environments (dormitories, classrooms) place young adults at high risk for rapid epidemic spread
- 6. The initial entry of a novel pathogen into a new, susceptible host population.
- 12. Pathogens newly recognized or identified within the past two decades
- 13. Caused by Treponema pallidum (Spirochete)
- 14. Toxoplasma gondii(Protozoan)
