Across
  1. 2. insect-specific vectors capable of transmitting pathogens into another living organism
  2. 7. this period is the time from the moment of exposure to an infectious agent until signs and symptoms of the disease appear
  3. 10. a disease that is always present in a certain population or region
  4. 11. help pathogens to (1) invade the host, (2) cause disease, and (3) evade host defenses
  5. 13. the ability of the body to produce a normal immune response following exposure to an antigen
  6. 14. an epidemic of disease that has spread across a large region; for instance multiple continents, or even worldwide
  7. 15. an infectious disease transmissible by direct contact with an affected individual or the individual's discharges or by indirect means (as by a vector)
  8. 16. infectious diseases that can be naturally transmitted between animals (usually vertebrates) and humans
  9. 17. a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
  10. 18. any agent who carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism
  11. 19. if a patient is a carrier for an infectious agent, but experiences and demonstrates no symptoms
  12. 20. An outbreak of disease that attacks many peoples at about the same time and may spread through one or several communities
Down
  1. 1. a pathogen that take advantage of an opportunity not normally available, such as a host with a weakened immune system, altered microbiota, or breached integumentary barriers
  2. 3. this period includes early sign or symptom (or set of signs and symptoms), which often indicate the onset of a disease before more diagnostically specific signs and symptoms develop
  3. 4. a type of persistent infection that is eventually cleared
  4. 5. a pathogen's or microbe's ability to infect or damage a host
  5. 6. infections are characterized by rapid onset of disease, a relatively brief period of symptoms, and resolution relatively quickly after initial onset
  6. 8. an infection that is hidden, inactive, or dormant, and will last the life of the host
  7. 9. the currently accepted scientific theory of disease. It states that many diseases are caused by microorganisms. These small organisms, too small to see without magnification, invade humans, animals, and other living hosts.
  8. 12. A patient who has a weakened immune system, and have a reduced ability to fight infections and other diseases
