COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
An illness due to a specific infectious agent or
its toxic products.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Study of distribution and determinants of
health-related states and events in
specified populations and application of this
study to control health problems.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
Control:
Elimination :
Eradication:
Extinction:
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
Control
The reduction of disease incidence,
prevalence, morbidity or mortality to a locally
acceptable level as a result of deliberate
efforts; continued intervention measures are
required to maintain the reduction.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
Elimination
Reduction to zero of the incidence of infection
caused by a specific agent in a defined
geographical area as a result of deliberate
efforts; continued measures to prevent reestablishment of transmission are required.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
Eradication
Permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide
incidence of infection caused by a specific agent
as a result of deliberate efforts; intervention
measures are no longer needed..
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
DEFINITIONS
Extinction
The specific infectious agent no longer
exists in nature or in the laboratory.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
SOURCES OF INFECTIONS
CARRIER :
A person or animal without apparent
disease who harbors a specific
infectious agent and is capable of
transmitting the agent to others.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
SOURCES OF INFECTIONS
Reservoir:
Any person, animal, arthropod, plant, soil or
substance (or combination of these) in which an
infectious agent lives and multiplies, on which
it depends primarily for survival, and where it
reproduces itself, in such a manner that it can
be transmitted to a susceptible host
