Principles of Disease and Epidemiology
 Pathology: The study of disease
 Etiology: The study of the cause of a disease
 Pathogenesis: The development of disease
 Infection: Colonization of the body by pathogens
 Disease: An abnormal state in which the body is not
functioning normally

Normal Microbiota and the Host
 Transient microbiota may be
present for days, weeks, or
months.
 Normal microbiota
permanently colonize the host.
 Symbiosis is the relationship
between normal microbiota and
the host.

microbiota on and in
the human body.

Table 14.1c
Normal Microbiota and the Host
 Microbial antagonism is a competition between
microbes.
 Normal microbiota protect the host by:
 Occupying niches that pathogens might occupy
 Producing acids
 Producing bacteriocins
 Probiotics are live microbes applied to or ingested into
the body, intended to exert a beneficial effect.

Symbiosis
 Commensalism
 Mutualism
 Parasitism
 Some normal microbiota are opportunistic pathogens.

Koch’s Postulates
 Koch's postulates
are used to prove the
cause of an infectious
disease.

Classifying Infectious Diseases
 Symptom: A change in body function that is felt by a
patient as a result of disease.
 Sign: A change in a body that can be measured or
observed as a result of disease.
 Syndrome: A specific group of signs and symptoms
that accompany a disease.

Classifying Infectious Diseases
 Communicable disease
 Contagious disease
 Noncommunicable disease
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Occurrence of Disease
 Incidence: Fraction of a population that contracts a disease
during a specific time.
 Prevalence: Fraction of a population having a specific disease at
a given time.
 Endemic disease: Disease constantly present in a population.
 Epidemic disease: Disease acquired by many hosts in a given
area in a short time.
 Pandemic disease: Worldwide epidemic.

Severity or Duration of a Disease
 Acute disease: Symptoms develop rapidly.
 Chronic disease: Disease develops slowly.
 Latent disease: Disease with a period of no symptoms
when the patient is inactive.

Extent of Host Involvement
 Local infection: Pathogens are limited to a small area
of the body.
 Systemic infection: An infection throughout the body.
 Septicemia: Growth of bacteria in the blood.

Predisposing Factors
 Make the body more susceptible to disease
 Short urethra in females
 Inherited traits such as the sickle-cell gene
 Climate and weather
 Fatigue
 Age
 Lifestyle
 Chemotherapy

Reservoirs of Infection
 Reservoirs of infection are continual sources
of infection.
 Human — AIDS, gonorrhea
 Carriers may have inapparent infections
or latent diseases.
 Other Animals — Rabies, Lyme disease
 Some zoonoses may be transmitted to humans.
 Nonliving — Botulism, tetanus
 Soil and Water

Transmission of Disease
 Contact
 Direct
 Indirect: Spread by fomites.
 Droplet

Transmission of Disease
 Vehicle: Transmission by an inanimate reservoir
(food, water).
 Vectors: Arthropods, especially fleas, ticks, and
mosquitoes.
 Mechanical
 Biological

Nosocomial (Hospital-Acquired) Infections
 Are acquired as a result of a hospital stay.
 5-15% of all hospital patients acquire nosocomial
infections. ~20,000 die as a result per year

Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs)
 Diseases that are new, increasing in incidence, or
showing a potential to increase in the near future.
 Contributing factors
 Genetic recombination
 E. coli 0157, Avian influenza (H5N1)
 Evolution of new strains
 V. cholerae 0139
 Inappropriate use of antibiotics and pesticides

Emerging Infectious Diseases
 Changes in weather patterns
 Malaria
 Modern Transportation
 West Nile virus
 Animal control measures
 Lyme disease

Epidemiology
 The study of where
and when diseases
occur
