(like latent period?) |
|
|

|
-infectious agent
-reservior -portal of exit (skin/blood/ect) -transmission (air/contact/etc) -portal of entry -susceptible host |
|
|
reservoir
|
ANY person/plant/animal/substance
that an agent can survive in/on and can spread it |
|
|
carrier
|
transmits and has agent but is has no s/s of it themselves
|
|
|
colonization
how is it tested |
agent present in/on host but no s/s or host interaction
it is just present w/no effect microbiology tests reflect colonization NOT infection |
|
|
infection
|
host interacts with agent immunologically
this may or may NOT have S/S |
|
|
infectious disease
|
host shows s/s of decline in health/wellness s/t infection
REMEMBER this MUST have S/S |
