how a disease gets from point A to you is referred to as transmission. Some of the simple ones are by air, water and food.....but how do the disease causing agents get there in the first place? How can we stop them?

How can screening for disease address the burden of non-communicable diseases? Do you make a point to get regularly scheduled screening tests? If so, which ones? Are there ones identified in your texts that you'd never heard of? Subject: Public and Community Health
Imagine you work in the infectious disease department of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recently, an unknown emerging disease has begun to spread in the United States that seems to show symptoms similar to influenza and measles. Not all people infected show all the symptoms, and current vaccinations do not prevent a person from catching the unknown disease. Apply the knowledge you know now about infectious agents and means of transmission. For this assignment: Provide a brief overview...
How can you protect yourself and your patients from transmission of infectious agents?
What are some ways we can help patients avoid disease? What condition do you think are preventable, and what could you do to help prevent them?
Help me answer and give the source you find the answer pls. 1. How can non-human animals provide a pathway for new viruses to enter the human population? 2. Consider the emergence of a pandemic, from the first spillover event to worldwide transmission. Where are the points at which we could stop the spread of the disease? Explain.
When fossil fuels are burned, "particulate matter" including some small particles referred and to PM2.5s and even smaller particles can be produced. There was a recently published study showing how these small particles get into the bloodstream and "lodge" in small blood vessels in the head and neck. (a) What would you anticipate happening? To get you thinking in the right direction, the textbook discusses plaques and thrombus formation on pg. 698-9 (ed. 2). (b) If this affects blood vessels...
I need help understanding some fairly simple probability calculations. Suppose a virus transmission in 500 interactions are mutually independent events and that the probability of transmission in one interaction is 1/500. What is the probability of infection? At this point the book says, it's easier to calculate the complement of the event(infection) and we do the following: event(no infection) = (1 - 1/500)^500 = 0.37 This is all fine, but how would we go about calculating the probability of the...

Virus X is a new virus infecting people. Some people get Virus X and develop no systems. In others, Virus X causes a disease called Disease X If you have Virus X, you have it for life and everyone you touch gets Virus X, if they didn't have it already. (They get it immediately when you touch them.) If you get Virus X, you will either immediately develop Disease X, or you will never develop Disease X, and those two...
