- 2. eukaryotic worms that infect the digestive tract of the host
- 3. The process by which bacteria are streaked onto a plate to form isolated colonies
- 5. Specific immune defense mechanisms. This form of immunity is acquired over a lifetime
- 7. Non-specific immune defense mechanisms that we are born with such as tears and cilia
- 9. Single rod-shaped bacteria
- 11. An epidemic that has spread across several countries or continents and affects a large number of people.
- 12. Where the infectious agent resides before infecting a new host.
- 14. Single sphere-shaped bacteria
- 16. A protein produced by B cells in the blood; works to impair/kill pathogens
- 17. makes up the cell wall of bacteria cells
- 20. nonliving proteins that affect the brain, exposure occurs through contaminated meat

- 24. A sudden increase in the occurrence of a disease in a localized area.
- 27. The practice and/or process of preventing contamination
- 28. Immunity from antibodies from a vaccine or previous infection.
- 30. refers to the cause of a disease or condition and can include things like diet or other lifestyle factors, genetics, or pathogens
Down
- 1. Disease transmission that occurs when a host touches an infected individual or is exposed to their body fluids.
- 4. Single spiral-shaped bacteria
- 6. The color of Gram negative bacteria
- 8. Disease transmission that occurs when a host inhales infected particles, touches an infected object, or is bitten by an infected insect.
- 10. An infection acquired in a hospital
- 13. a clear plastic container, is used to culture bacteria
- 15. A disease-causing organism.
- 18. nonliving pathogen that cannot reproduce without a host. Ex. Influenza
- 19. The color of Gram positive bacteria
- 22. a cells shape and how they grow
- 25. The agent of disease that is infecting the GNMH
- 26. Immunity acquired from the mother
- 29. A disease perpetually present in a community or population within a specific geographic area
