Study Notes
Disease Terminology
- An outbreak occurs when there are more cases of a disease than expected in a specific area, community, or group.
- A endemic disease is one that is consistently found in a particular region, community, or group.
- An epidemic indicates a higher than usual level of disease occurrence in a population.
- A pandemic describes an epidemic that spreads across multiple regions or countries.
Animal Terminology
- An infected animal is one that carries a disease.
- A healthy animal does not have an infection.
- The index case refers to the first known infected animal during a disease outbreak.
Outbreak Investigation Process
- Key steps to resolving an outbreak include identifying the source, mode of transmission, and affected population.
- Environmental assessment involves analyzing hygiene, water sources, and biosecurity measures.
Clinical Examination
- The first stage in disease examination involves ruling animals in or out based on clinical signs and symptoms.
- Clinical examinations are crucial for determining the extent and nature of an outbreak.
Prevention and Control Measures
- Key elements of disease prevention include vaccination, hygiene, biosecurity protocols, and monitoring health.
- Individuals involved in disease control should be trained in identifying infectious diseases, cleaning, and disinfection methods.
Data Analysis Importance
- Analyzing data is vital for understanding the outbreak's spread and impact, guiding intervention strategies.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- The level of PPE required is determined by the nature of the disease, route of transmission, and risk assessment of exposure.
Facility Design Considerations
- When designing a facility for disease control, factors such as ventilation, waste management, and accessibility for cleaning are important.
Post-Mortem Examination
- The purpose of a post-mortem examination is to determine the cause of death and identify any underlying health conditions that may be significant for disease control.
Disease Control Factors
- Consideration of factors impacting treatment, control, and prevention includes disease dynamics, population density, and resources available for response.
