- Answer-enumerate the chain of infection
RESERVOIR - Answer-Place where the pathagen microorganism survive multiply , and
await transfer to susceptible host
RESERVOIR - Answer-humans animals insects water objects are exampl of
PORTAL OF EXIT - Answer-the reservoir to enter susceptible to cause disease
blood skin and mucous membranes respiratory tract urinary tract gastrointestinal tract
reproductive tract - Answer-example of portal of exit
MODE OF TRANSMISSION - Answer-Process of the infectious agent moving from
reservoir or source through the portal of exit the portal of entry of the susceptible host
direct - Answer-one exampleof this mode of transmission is direct contact and droplet
spread
Indirect - Answer-Airborne, Vehicle Borne, Vector Borne
biological and mechanical - Answer-what are the 2 classification of vector borne
