Week |3: |Communicable |Diseases
Chain |of |Infection
how |the |communicable |disease |gets |around
1. |Causative |Agent
2. |Reservoir
-hosts |or |habitats |where |causative |agent |lives |or |reproduces
- |Ex: |air, |food, |water, |humans, |animals
-can |break |chain |if |disease |is |cured/treated |while |in |reservoir
3. |Portal |of |Exit
-route |that |agent |takes |to |leave |the |reservoir
-Ex: |nose, |mouth, |urinary |tract, |skin, |etc.

4. |Mode |of |Transmission
-how |causative |agent |makes |its |move
-how |long |it |can |stay |alive |until |it |gets |to |portal |of |entry
-Ex: |airborne, |foodborne, |waterborne, |vectorborne
5. |Portal |of |Entry
, -where |pathogen/agent |enters |next |susceptible |host |to |cause |another |infection
6. |Susceptible |Host
-person |potentially |vulnerable |to |that |particular |causative |agent
-main |strategy |is |immunizations
