Describe the epidemiological triangle of causation model and how an outbreak of an infectious disease can be mitigated.
1 it is a classical model used in epidemiology to explain the occurence of infectious disease and non communicable disease.An epidemiological triangle describe etiology of infectious disease ;agent,host and environment. Agent,host and environment helps in the development of interventions taking into account epidemiological constants.An agent is any type of thing that when it is present/excess/deficient .Host is the person/living thing that is susceptible to infection i.e.age,sex,race,genetic profile,previous disease,religion,customs ,occupation.Environment is where agent can survive and be transmitted i.e temperature/humidity,crowding,housing,water,milk,radiation,noise.
The leading cause of death leading to communicable diseases in low income are lower respiratory disease,diarrheal disease,HIV /AIDS,Malaria,TB and neonatal infections.In middle income lower respiratory disease,diarrheal disease,HIV/AIDS,TB.In high income lower respiratory disease.Nurses can play a significant role in epidemiology and control of communicable disease.This can be done by

A public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC)can be declared when an infectious disease outbreak is causing serious illness, is likely to spread to other countries, and requires a coordinated global response. What are two examples that occurred in your lifetime?
Use an infectious disease as an example, identify how an epidemiologist may use the Epidemiologic Triangle to prevent and/or control the disease.
Describe the three components of the Disease Triangle model and how they affect plant resistance. Propose ways to modify these three components to increase plant resistance to pathogens.
There are many ways that an environmental infectious disease can be transmitted to a host. Describe the differences between vectorborne diseases and zoonotic diseases. What type of infectious disease is associated with each of these categories?
Apply all three parts of the epidemiological triangle to the disease malaria What was the agent of malaria?
Briefly describe an infectious disease and how it affects a human host.
What is considered an outbreak? How to investigate a disease outbreak? can you please explain the answer in details.
Explain how mutations can be used to track a disease outbreak
True or False The epidemiologic triangle is the only way to model the spread of infectious disease. Herd immunity must be at 100% to protect the group. One of the difficulties of conducting environmental epidemiology studies is accurate measurement of exposure. The healthy worker effect is a type of bias that says that people who have jobs tend to have higher mortality. The social environment only affects the health of people who live in developing countries. Jobs that are highly...
3. Using the term incidence, contrast a seasonal endemic infectious disease with an epidemic infectious disease over the course of one year. 4a. Using SARS-CoV as a specific example, describe how epidemiologists can track infections during an epidemic by a) measuring antibody levels (seroconversion) and b) using PCR methods. 4b. During the course of a single infection, which method will detect SARS-CoV earliest? Explain why. 5. An epidemiologist trying to identify the agent causing a novel flesh-eating epidemic infectious disease...
