There are various sectors that impact prosperity in today's overall population. With the world's population growing at a faster rate than ever before seen, health specialists have a full workload trying to maintain well-being among them. To understand and decipher the fight against disease, specialists have set up a triangle to enhance, comprehend, and improve the battle against these well-being issues. The three corners or vertices are operator, host, and environment. All corners are similarly important and a change in one will certainly influence change in another (CDC, 2015).
As mentioned before, the three corners or vertices are agent, host, and environment. The first corner is the agent; otherwise called the "what" or the reason for the illness. The agent can be anything from microorganisms, fungi, or bacteria; but in realm of the regular world we just refer to them as germs. This is the primary reason it is stressed …show more content…
As previously noted, the largest concern with salmonella outbreaks are the cross contamination of foods. You could control the host corner of the triad if a people could avoid the commonly known foods that have outbreaks due to salmonella, however this somewhat difficult for some and therefore is a personal decision. Our most logical option to control the spread of salmonella is by using proper food handling and storing techniques to avoid cross contamination all together. In conclusion, we know that the common denominator with all outbreaks is one of the corners of the triangle. Therefore, we should consider the epidemiologic triad our most resourceful tool in learning how to eradicate these salmonella outbreaks by learning which part of the triad we can permanently do away with. It won't be a short, or easy task, but rather it is definitely one that is worth our time to preserve the health of our
