This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: epidemiology-spread of inf. disease, Reservoirs can be Non-living soil/water ex. tetanus, epidemiology- infectious disease classifying frequency of occurence, Transmission portals of exit blood/body fluids, frequency of occurence can be sporadic, Transmission contact direct-person to person, Reservoirs can be Animal(zoonoses) ex: rabies, Behavior can be highly communicable (most are airborn), frequency of occurence can be endemic (constantly present in low numbers in pop.), epidemiology- infectious disease spread of infection Transmission, Transmission portals of exit GI ex. e.coli, Transmission vehicle waterborne e.coli/polio, Severity/Duration can be chronic, Reservoirs can be huma(HIV), Severity/Duration can be acute (less than 6 mos), Transmission vector (an organism that does not cause disease itself, but transmits by carrying pathogen from one host to another) biological- carries pathogen within itself. ex. mosquito/malaria, frequency of occurence can be epidemic- many people, defined area, short period of time, epidemiology- infectious disease spread of infection Reservoirs, Severity/Duration can be latent, epidemiology- infectious disease classifying Severity/Duration, frequency of occurence can be pandemic
