How many stages are in the chain of infection?

Answer 1

Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is a bacterial infection caused by several species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. These bacteria are maintained in nature in the bodies of wild animals and transmitted from one animal to another by tick bites. Humans and pets are incidental hosts to ticks. The early phase of the disease begins at the site of the tick bite with an expanding ring of redness which often resembles a bull's-eye, with a red ring surrounding a clear area and a red center. Later it can affect the skin, joints, heart, and the nervous system. The body does not maintain a natural immunity to the disease. Thus, a person can be re-infected with the disease on subsequent tick bites.

Answer 2

Vaginal infection: often caused if you have sexual intercourse with either male or female, when having an orgasm or simply being wet, [with a male] & the male has precumed that cum stays in your vagina. If you have sexual intercourse with different males(3-more), although you may not do them at the same time the previous guy's precum will stay there until you wash your vagina with a dooche water(what's inside of a dooche bag) or wait until your own body expulsion, which is when you have your period. This, my friend causes infection as well as other things, this may also cause HIV.

Penis infection: Males are lucky to have a penis, due to the fact that it is not inside; it is not as easy to create infection, however if you don't wash after having vaginal or anal sex intercourse you may get an infection. If you don't wash & happen to be lucky and have sex with another girl before washing, you may create an infection for her easier than for you. What I recommend is to stay clean.

To avoid having an infection, I recommend using condoms. They will keep you from getting infections, HIV & I'm worst cases getting pregnate without planing to become parents. Wash after having sex & avoid things such as threesomes.

Answer 3

The causative agent/cause of infection: the pathogen/microorganism/microbe/germ that causes the disease such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa

the reservoir/source/house/container/susceptible agent: person the germ is being stored, equipment, water

Portal of exit/escape: eyes, nose, mouth, break in skin

Mode of transmission/ transfer: contamination from one person to another by hands, toys, objects, cough, sneeze; airborne, direct or indirect

Portal of entry: mouth, nose, eyes, broken skin

Susceptible host/vulnerable person: someone that is exposed to an infectious disease. The person can get sick, be asymptomatic and still carry the germ.

Break the chain of infection and follow saftey precautions

Answer 4

The five links in the chain of infection are:

1. Source of infection (Reservoir.

2. Exit portal (method of release from reservoir.

3. Route of transmission; direct, indirect, vector, faecal-oral, airborne, & zoonose's.

4. Entry portal (method of entry into new host); respirator tract, skin - both damaged and undamaged, gastrointestinal system, eyes, injection (natural - mosquitoes, artificial - IV drug use).

5. Susceptable individual.
