- 3. killing of communicable disease agents outside the host
- 6. Disease, An illness caused by some specific biological agent or its toxic products that can be transmitted from an infected person to a susceptible host
- 8. of Infection, A model to conceptualize the transmission of a communicable disease from its source to a susceptible host.
- 9. Prevention, Preventive measures that forestall the onset of illness or injury during the prepathogenesis period.
- 11. Immunity, Occurs when people receive antibodies against a disease rather than their own immune system producing them.
- 15. Prevention, Measures aimed at rehabilitation following significant pathogenesis.
- 16. The cause of the disease or health problem.
- 17. The capability of a communicable disease agent to cause disease in a susceptible host.
- 23. Risk Factors, Factors contributing to a noncommunicable disease that can be altered by modifying one’s behavior or environment.
- 24. The cause of a disease.
- 25. The separation of infected persons from those who are susceptible.
- 26. Risk Factors, Factors contributing to the development of a noncommunicable disease that cannot be altered by modifying one’s behavior or environment.
- 27. The planning for and taking of action to forestall the onset of a disease or other health problem.
Down
- 1. Pathogens, Disease agents that are transmissible in blood and other body fluids.
- 2. Limitation of freedom of movement of those who have been exposed to a disease and may incubating it.
- 3. Transmission, The immediate transfer of an infectious agent by direct contact between infected and susceptible individuals.
- 4. The ability of a biological agent to enter and grow in the host.
- 5. Transmission, Communicable disease transmission involving an intermediate step.
- 7. A person or animal that harbors a specific communicable agent in the absence of discernible clinical disease and serves as a potential source of infection to others.
- 8. Disease Model, The minimal requirements for the occurrence and spread of communicable diseases in a population
- 10. Efforts to control a disease in progress.
- 12. An inanimate material or object that can serve as a source of infection.
- 13. A living organism that can transmit a communicable agent to susceptible hosts.
- 14. The complete elimination or uprooting of a disease
- 18. Immunity, Occurs when exposure to a disease-causing organism prompts the immune system to develop antibodies against that disease.
- 19. Disease Model, A visual representation of the host together with various internal and external factors that promote and protect against disease.
- 20. Prevention, Preventive measures that lead to an early diagnosis and prompt treatment of a disease or injury to limit disability and prevent more severe pathogenesis.
- 21. A person or other living organism that affords subsistence or lodgment to a communicable agent under natural conditions.
- 22. A person who is sick with a disease.
