1. In the 1880s when people started to determine that pathogens caused disease, they mainly
found bacteria as the causative agents. Why would this be? Select all that apply.
There were less viruses circulating at that time
Bacteria caused a greater number of infections during that time
*The light microscopes available did not have the power to visualize viruses
*They did not have the tools available to isolate pathogens the size of viruses
2.Drag the disease occurrence term to its descriptive illustration's corresponding box,
directly below that image.
*Endemic disease
*Sporadic
*Epidcmic
*Pandemic
3. The graph shows the number of cases for diseases A and B over time. Which disease
would be considered to be an epidemic?
(You can click on the image to view it larger.)
*Answer is Disease B
4. This is a map of the tribe’s geographic villages and confirmed cases of the disease
(orange triangles). The disease is occurring on a large island and in the inset is the area
where cases are occurring (elsewhere there are zero cases). Which term describes the
occurrence?
Endemic
Sporadic
Pandemic
*Epidemic
