Hint
|
Answer
|
Diseases which gradually increase in occurrence frequency above endemic level but not to epidemic level
|
Hyperendemic
|
Which type of penetration involves degrading complexes between cells and attacking the extracellular matrix?
|
Active
|
Increase in disease occurrence within large population over wide region (usually worldwide)
|
Pandemic
|
Period after pathogen entry, before signs and symptoms
|
Incubation
|
Which type of penetration by a pathogen would spread into skin lesions / wounds, insect / animal bites
|
Passive
|
When a disease is transmitted from animals to humans
|
Zoonosis
|
What state are you in if you are carrying a pathogen but showing no symptoms?
|
Carrier state
|
Who invented the first vaccine?
|
Edward Jenner
|
Vaccine containing entire pathogen inactivated e.g. with formaldehyde
|
Inactivated whole cell
|
When a large enough proportion of the population has acquired immunity to a pathogen, susceptible individuals are protected due to reduced transmission
|
Herd Immunity
|
Soluble, heat-labile, proteins that are secreted into surroundings as pathogen grows
|
Exotoxin
|
Period where signs and symptoms begin to disappear
|
Convalescence
|
What is the only human disease to be eradicated?
|
Smallpox
|
The result obtained when vaccine stimulates immunity
|
Immunisation
|
Science that evaluates occurrence, determinants, distribution, and control of health and disease in a defined human population
|
Epidemiology
|
Physical interaction between source/reservoir and host, disease spreading person to person
|
Direct Contact
|
Which type of intracellular pathogens only grow when inside cells
|
Obligate
|
The degree or intensity of disease a pathogen can cause
|
Virulence
|
Number of pathogens that will infect 50% of an experimental group of hosts in a specified time
|
Infectious dose 50/ID50
|
Disease that maintains a relatively steady low-level frequency at a moderately regular interval
|
Endemic
|
Period with onset of signs and symptoms not clear enough for diagnosis
|
Prodromal
|
Dose that kills 50% of experimental animals within a specified period
|
Lethal dose 50/LD50
|
