Learning Objectives: Chapter 14 Learning objectives serve as a guide for your learning. After successfully completing the reading of Chapter 14 (pgs. 389-402, 407-412) in your text, you should be able to execute the objectives listed below: 1. Define: pathogen, etiology, pathogenesis, infection, disease, epidemiology, 2. Define: normal microbiota, transient microbiota (BL1) 3. Summarize the concept of microbial antagonism (aka competitive exclusion) (BL2) and discuss the effect of antibiotics on the levels of normal microbiota or opportunistic pathogens (BL3) 4. Relate symbiosis, commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism to each other (BL3) 5. Contrast symptoms and signs of disease (BL4) 6. Compare communicable disease vs. contagious disease (BL4) 7. Describe “herd immunity” (BL2) and evaluate the effect of anti-vaccination on the risk to an average 60 year old, a partially vaccinated 2 year old, an unvaccinated infant, and an immune- compromised 10 year old who cannot receive vaccinations (BL6) (hint* describe what happens to each of these people in 2 circumstances, HIGH herd immunity and NO herd immunity.) 8. Identify (BL1) and describe (BL2) the 5 stages of disease 9. Identify (BL1) and describe (BL2) living and non-living reservoirs of disease and compare reservoir with carrier (BL4) 10. Define: Zoonoses, direct contact, indirect contact, fomite (BL1) 11. Compare vehicle transmission vs. vector transmission in the spread of disease (BL4) and compare also with mechanical vs. biological transmission (BL4) 12. Postulate why certain increases or decreases in disease occur from epidemiological evidence (in graph format) (BL3) 13. Use the contributions of John Snow, Ignaz Semmelweis, and Florence Nightengale to define/describe the terms: descriptive epidemiology, analytical epidemiology, and experimental epidemiology (BL3)
