- 11. The traditional model of disease causation 3 components an external agent a susceptible host an environment
- 12. Agent Entity necessary to cause disease in a susceptible host Examples Biological (bacteria, virus, parasites, etc)
- 13. Epidemiologic Triad - Agent Infectivity – ability to invade a host Pathogenicity – ability to cause
- 14. Epidemiologic Triad Concepts Infectivity, Pathogenicity , Virulence all are dependent upon the condition of the host
- 15. Definition: person/organism that is susceptible to effect of agent Characteristics Genetic specific immunity socio-demographic age sex
- 16. Definition : Conditions that influence interaction between agent & host Examples Biological physical (+ climate) &

- 23. Mode of Transmission Definition: mechanism through which infective agent move from reservoir to susceptible host Direct
- 24. RESERVOIRS OF INFECTION Definition: habitats where infective agent can survive & (multiply). Animals : zoonoses (animal
