Forensic Investigation

Most diseases begin with what is called "the virgin field"—a scenario in which humans have no natural or man-made immunity to the disease. To see the progress of a disease in a particular community, start by predicting how many sick days will be reported when you run the Kold disease through a medium-sized population, and record your prediction in the data table. In this first run-through, we'll assume that the population does not move around the field; they interact with their neighbors, but do not travel long distances.

4) I cannot answer this question with the information presented, but it should be pretty straightforward to say which foods

An investigation was necessary to find the cause of the outbreak, and how to stop it from continuing to spread. The campus clinic was interested in testing the following nine patients: Sue, Jill, Anthony, Wanda, Maggie, Maria, Arnie, Marco, and Alvin. All of the students have similar symptoms and agreed to being tested except for Alvin.

1. What was the purpose of using water as a sample in some of the tests performed in the lab? (2 points) to have a control.

Doctors Craig Haney, Curtis Banks and headed by Doctor Phillip Zimbardo. This article provides in detail the initial purpose for this study, its participants, the nature of the study, the events that transpired during the experiment and of its results. With this article we are provided with a clear picture of the events that had transpired during the experiment and provides some insight into why the events may have occurred.

After an incidence of an infectious disease has been ‘turned in to’ the Nebraska DHHS Public Health, Communicable Disease Division, as they obtain reports of it throughout the county, an investigation is performed and the report is filed. The investigation process typically encompasses educating the individual and their family members and action is taken to prevent further spread of the infection are part of their public health management. The individual’s physician is also notified of the diagnosis of the infectious virus, in which they physician will then notify the individual of the test

The epidemilogic triangle describes the relationships and interactions among the infectious agent, the host, and

Now there are two reasons to why the scientist in the movie were so keen to finding patient zero was because the earlier in the outbreak of the disease that the scientist can ident the human carrier the better chance they have of isolating and controlling the disease outbreak. Determining exactly where patient zero travelled and what or who they came into contact to with, epidemiologist is often able to track the outbreak the infectious disease and procedures to isolate and treat the people who might have been expose to the disease or carry the disease. If this is done early enough (what the scientist was trying to do at the beginning of the movie) then the outbreak can be “shutdown” before it takes its natural course. the first reason concerns the spreading of the disease while the second is because of the origin. Identifying patient zero helps epidemiologist place where the first contact with the disease took place. Often harmful viruses exist in natural reservoir like wild animals like bats or cats and some ow ends up getting into contact with patient zero. Learning where the environment in which patient zero got sick can often lead to identifying the source of the virus, which allows preventative steps to be taken to stop future outbreaks and epidemics. Eventually the scientist in the movie identified both patient zero and the origin form which the disease came from. (Siegle)

Since the time that the scientific science dramatization "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" turned into a tremendous hit and generated its fans, reporters have been worried about what they instituted the "CSI Effect." The hypothesis behind the effect is that fans of the well-known show disguise misguided judgments about the law that they bring with them into the court as jurors. In this way, the trepidation is that the TV show is at last influencing the results of trials - and not in a great manner. Criminal justice researchers have started to study the inquiry of whether nationals who are called to serve on juries bring unreasonable desires and convictions to the court as a consequence of TV projects. The impact that these projects may have on the jurors, their desires, and their choices is known as the CSI effect.

Epidemiologists use a tool called, epidemiologic triangle to help understand infectious disease. “The epidemiologic triangle is a traditional model that characterizes infectious disease causation” (Merrill, 2017, p. 178). The triangle consists of an external agent, a susceptible host, and an environment that brings the host and the agent together. The agent, or the “what” of the Triangle, is the cause of the disease. The host or the “who” of the Triangle, can be the organism that gets sick, as well as any animal carrier (including insects and worms) that may or may not get sick. The environment, or the “where” of the Triangle, is the favorable surroundings and conditions external to the host that cause or allow the disease to be transmitted.

Learning about how a disease can spread is an important piece of knowledge. Scientists can learn from epidemics about how diseases spread without losing

In the first step to detect outbreak you should confirm diagnosis, define and identify cases, establish existence of an outbreak and prepare field work. For example, a case presented itself on botulism in Argentina with two different men coming into a hospital with signs of botulinum. The signs included difficulty walking, drooping eyelids, double vision, and inability to lift things. Fever was not a symptom of this disease so; the physician had to run test on the patients to determine a diagnosis of botulism. It is very important in this step that the doctors or medical professionals notify the ministry of health because botulism outbreaks can be lethal and it is a state of public emergency. In this step, it is important for Public health

This paper will explore the role of epidemiology in the surveillance of the incidence of

3. (5 pts) List two of the bits of evidence that you think were the most important findings in linking the exposure in question to the disease. (In other words if you had to explain the investigation to someone using only 2 details from the investigation, which two would you pick? Explain your logic for each one.

Global epidemics are a growing risk due to increased international travel and trade. To combat potential epidemics, international health organizations hire people who specialize in epidemiology. In this concentration, individuals learn about disease outcomes and research methods. They may conduct research on the potential causes, treatments and preventative measures for human disease. Individuals can learn about how epidemiology connects
