Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 9Q
In some diseases and outbreaks of respiratory diseases caused by certain strains of hantavirus and influenza, healthy young adults suffer the most pathology and mortality. This is an unusual pattern; it is more common for the younger and older vulnerable patients to suffer the worst effects of infectious diseases. Speculate on what is happening when the most robust suffer the most pathology.

- Which of the following is NOT true about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes? Which option is the answer: 1. During Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), a person is the most highly infectious for others during the period of peak viral load and symptoms 2. As it is transmitted through the global human population, the virus is highly genetically stable and does not change 3. Some people who become infected with SARS-CoV-2 will not develop signs and/or symptoms of disease 4. The severity of disease varies greatly, depending on age and/or underlying predisposing conditions 5. Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants may sometimes be more transmissible than previous strainsarrow_forwardSelect the most accurate answer: Which of the following is NOT correct regarding the transmission of adenoviruses?A. the faecal–oral route, with food and water as possible vectors, is the most commonB. virus may be spread through contaminated surfaces, such as sharing of towels at swimming pools, or sharing of gogglesC. Airborne spread through coughing and sneezing is also commonD. Outbreaks of adenovirus-associated respiratory disease have been more common in the late winterE. Blood transfusion, sexual contact are frequent mode of transmission for adenovirusesF. None of the abovearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct? a. An individual who has been diagnosed with a communicable disease and those who may have been exposed to the infection are to be placed together in a unit away from others b. Serial interval is the interval between when an infectious agent invades a body and when the first sign or symptom appears c. Healthy asymptomatic individuals suspected to have been exposed to an infection are quarantined through the length of the incubation periodarrow_forward
- Define the term pathogen. Using MRSA, NOROVIRUS, ATHLETES FOOT and MALARIA as examples, identify the microorganisms (causal agent) involved in each disease. Provide some information on the microorganism for each disease e.g. structure Discuss 3 routes of entry that disease causing organisms use to enter the body.arrow_forwardWith relevant examples where possible, illustrate the classifications of infectious diseasesarrow_forwardb). Explain the significance of host-agent-environment in disease causation using SARS-CoV-2 infection as an example. (ii) How may the concept of natural history of disease pathogenesis provide an understanding of the difference between prevention and control of disease.d) As the Public Health Officer charged with the prevention and control of communicable diseases in the Local Council Area, state the principles you may consider in planning an action to prevent community transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 infection.arrow_forward
- The vertical transmission of certain communicable diseases from mother-to-child during pregnancy and birth is of great concern to public health practitioners because it represents a critical period for intervention. If practitioners can determine at birth whether the disease has been transmitted from mother-to-child, they can act immediately to provide the child with treatment. Syphilis is a disease with high risk for vertical transmission from mother-to-child. If a child becomes infected and is not treated, there can be negative health outcome such as blindness, deafness, and neurological damage. Inspired by the advent of rapid HIV tests that provide quick results and are minimally invasive, suppose that researchers have been working to develop a similar test that can be used for syphilis. After obtaining appropriate institutional approval and patient consent, the researchers test their rapid syphilis test at several birthing hospitals and compare it to the gold standard laboratory…arrow_forwardThe vertical transmission of certain communicable diseases from mother-to-child during pregnancy and birth is of great concern to public health practitioners because it represents a critical period for intervention.
