symbiosis: continuum of close associations between 2 or more organisms
mutualism: symbiotic relationship in which both members benefit from their interaction
commensalism: symbiotic relationship in which 1 member benefits w/o significantly affecting the other
parasitism: symbiotic relationship in which the 1 organism derives benefit while harming or even killing its host
parasite: a microbe that derives benefit from its host while harming or even killing it
host: member of a parasitic relationship that supports the parasite
pathogen: a microorganism capale of causing disease
zoonoses: disease that are naturally spread from usual animal host to humans
infection: successful invasion of the body by a pathogenic microorganism
disease: any adverse internal condition severe enough to interfere with normal body functioning
morbidity: any change from a state of health
symptoms: subjective characteristics of a disease that can be felt by the pt. alone
signs: objective manifestations of a disease that can be observed or measured by others
syndrome: a group of symptoms, signs and diseases that collectively characterizes a particular abnormal condition
subclinical: asymptomatic
etiology: study of the cause of disease
pathology: study of the diseases and the changes that they cause
pathogenesis: the origination and development of a disease
toxin: chemical that either harms tissues or trigger host immune response that cause damage
exotoxin: toxin secreted by an pthogenic microorganism into its enviroment
endotoxin: potentially fatal toxin released from the cell wall of dead and dying Gram negative bacteria
capsule: glycocalyx compound of repeating units of organic chemicals firmly attached to the cell surface
transmission: the act or process by which something is spread or passed from 1 person or thing to another
directcontact: person to person
indirectcontact: spread from 1 host to another by fomites
vehicle: spread of pathogens via air , drinking water, food as well as bodily fluids being handled outside of the body
vector: animal that transmits disease from 1 host to another
severity: determination of how bad, serious or unpleasant something is
acute: develops rapidly, but last a relatively short time
chronic: develops slowly and are continual or recurrent
subacute: have durations and severities that lie between acute and chronic
latent: pathogen remains inactive for a period of time before becoming active
communicable: disease transmitted from one host to another
contagious:communicable disease that is easily spread
noncommunicable: disease arising from outside of host or from opportunistic pathogen
epidemiology: the study of where and when diseases occur and how they are transmitted within populations
incidence: # of new cases of a disease in a given area or population during a given period of time
prevalence: total # of cases, new and already existing in a given area or pop. during a given pd of time
sporadic: only a few scattered cases occur within an area or pop.
endemic: normal occurrences continually at a relatively stable incidence within a given pop. or geographical area
epidemic: disease occurring at a greater frequency that its usual for an area or pop.
pandemic: epidemic occurs simultaneously on more than 1 continent
nosocomialinfection: infection aquired by patients or healthcare workers while they are in healthcare facilities
nosocomialdiseases: disease aquired in a health care setting
iatrogenic: a subset of nosocomial infections that are the direct result of a medical procedure or treatment
