Front 1

Infections that go unnoticed are termed ?,?, or ?, because the patient experiences no symptoms or disease.

Back 1

asymptomatic
subclinical
inapparent

Front 2

With few exceptions pathogens depart by a specific avenue called the ?

Back 2

portal of exit

Front 3

The ? is the primary habitat in the natural world fro which a pathogen originates.

Back 3

reservoir

Front 4

The individual or object from which an infection is actually acquired is the ?

Back 4

source

Front 5

An individual who is inconspicuously sheltering a pathogen and spreads it to others without any notice is a ?

Back 5

carrier

Front 6

? carriers are infected, but they show no symptoms

Back 6

Asymptomatic

Front 7

Recuperating patients without symptoms are considered ? carriers.

Back 7

convalescent

Front 8

An individual who shelters the infectious agent for a long period is a ? carrier.

Back 8

chronic

Front 9

Medical or dental personnel who must constantly handle material that are contaminated with patient secretions can spread pathogens, they are known as ? carriers

Back 9

passive

Front 10

The word ? is used by epidemiologists to indicate a live animal that transmits an infectious agent.

Back 10

vector

Front 11

A ? vector actively participates in a pathogen's life cycle, serving as a site for multiplication or where it can complete its life cycle.

Back 11

biological

Front 12

? vectors are not necessary to the life cycle of an infectious agent and merely transport it without being infected.

Back 12

Mechanical

Front 13

An infection indigenous to animals but naturally transmissible to humans is ?

Back 13

zoonosis

Front 14

In ? infections, the human is essentially a dead end host and doesn't contribute t the natural persistence of the microbe

Back 14

zoonosis

Front 15

A disease is ? when and infected host can transmit the infectious agent to another host and establish infection in that host.

Back 15

communicable

Front 16

If a microbe is highly communicable, especially through direct contact , the disease is ?

Back 16

contagious

Front 17

? infections occur primarily when a compromised person is invaded by his or her own microbiota or accidental contact with a microbe that exists in a nonliving reservoir such as soil.

Back 17

noncommunicable

Front 18

In a ? disease transmission can be direct or indirect.

Back 18

communicable

Front 19

The patterns of transmission in communicable disease can be ? or ?

Back 19

direct
indirect

Front 20

The term ? means the disease is spread through a population from one infected person to another.

Back 20

horizontal

Front 21

The ? signifies transmission from parent to offspring via the ovum, sperm, placenta, or milk
