What is high herd immunity? - answer✔Immune members are less susceptible to disease




Immunity= 85%

Susceptibility= 15%


What is the epi triad model? - answer✔A model that views three elements as responsible for

explaining disease patterns:




Host: a susceptible human or animal who can get the disease and nourishes an agent (one that is

infected)




Agent: entity that causes a disease (microorganism)




Environment: setting where the agent and the host interact


What is a complex epi triad? - answer✔You will have your agent that passes its disease to a

vector (ticks, fleas, mosquitoes). The vector then proceeds to infect a host and an alternate host.


What is a simple epi triad? - answer✔-Host on top of the triangle (e.g. susceptible human)

Host characteristics: age, immune status, genetic predisposition




-Agent of characteristics: infectivity, pathogenicity (capacity of a microbe to cause a disease) ,

virulence (degree of pathogenicity: severe or not as severe )




Environment: heat, moisture, proximity/interaction of organisms


What is the web of causation? - answer✔schematic of how factors work together to cause disease

(particularly used in chronic diseases/noninfectious diseases




Examples: host immunity, environmental factors, public health policies, access to healthcare,

genetic factors, travel, social networks, occupational exposures


What is endemic? - answer✔the "normal" expected presence of disease in a certain area




Ex: yellow fever in part of South America, malaria in parts of Africa, Common Cold in the USA
