Incubation Period | Time from initial infection until clinical signs appear |
Incubation period for most bacteria | 2 to 5 days |
Incubation period for most viruses | 3 days to 2 weeks |
Nosocomial Infection | Hospital acquired infection, occurs in approx. 5% of pts |
Zoonosis | Transmission of disease from animal to people |
Nosocomial Infection surg. rates | If surg. last less than 30 min = 1%
If lasts greater than 3.5 hrs = 14% |
Vector | Invertebrate insect that can transmit disease through it's bite |
Fomite | inanimate object contaminated with microorganisms, can transmit disease |
endemic | when a organism prevails continuously in a certain geographic location, disease is constantly present in certain geographical area |
Epidemic | Sudden outbreak or increase in number of disease cases, no one number defines an epidemic |
Pandemic | An epidemic occurring over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people, a global pandemic |
Reservoir | In order for an organism to continue to exist and be spread, it has to have a permanent place to reside; a reservoir could be human, animal, soil, water, plants |
Carrier | An infected individual who is a potential source of infection for other, may or may not be symptomatic |
Resolution | The ability of the lens to distinguish fine detail |
Parfocal | The lenses remain almost in focus when a higher magnification objective is moved into position |
Genus | Number of related organisms |
Species | Each different organisms within the genes |
