COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
EPIDEMIOLOGY,
CONTROL &
PREVENTION
Community medicine is the art and science
of studying and assessment of community
health needs, organization and provision of
comprehensive
health
services
and
evaluation and development of health care
programs with the objectives of promotion
of health and prevention of disease.
SOURCES OF INFECTION
* CASE OF DISEASE
* CARRIER
Incubatory carrier
Convalescent carrier
Chronic carrier
In-apparent carrier
* ANIMAL RESERVOIR (ZOONOSIS)
* INANIMATE RESERVOIR (THE SOIL)
CHANNELS OF
TRANSMISSION OF
INFECTION:
1- AIR-BORNE
2- FOOD AND DRINK-BORNE
3- ARTHROPOD-BORNE
4- CONTACT TRANSMISSION

* The human hand
* Flies.
•Milk: Excellent medium
T.B
F.P
Diphtheria
- Dirty udder
- Dirty hands of milking man
- Dirty bottle
* Water
: Very serious
METHOD OF TRANSMISSION:
•Meat:
Diseased animal
Contaminated meat
* Fresh Vegetables and Fruits:
- Poor medium
- Can be contaminated by:
- Flies
- Washing Water
- Dirty hands
- Manure
3-ARTHROPOD-BORNE
* Can be:
Biological
Transovarian
Mechanical
* Means of transmission.
- Inoculation by a vector.
- Contamination
(skin or mucous membranes).
- By infectious foeces.
- Body fluids (when crushed).
ARTHROPOD-BORNE (Cont’d.)
FLIES:
-Enteric fevers.
-Mucopurulent conjunctivitis.
-Ascariasis.
-Amoebic dysentery.
-Food poisoning.
-Poliomyelitis.

- Bubonic plague.
- Endemic typhus
THE MOSQUITO (female of):
- Culex sp (filariasis)
- Anopheles sp (malaria)
- Aedes sp (yellow fever)
THE SAND FLY:

- Ability to survive outside the host
(milk, water, soil).
- Viability under varying conditions
(temp, humidity).
- Spectrum of hosts.
- Resistance to treatment.
- New genetic information.

CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE

Can be classified into:
I-Controlling the source of infection
II-Blocking the channels of transmission
III-Protecting the susceptible population
I. CONTROLLING THE SOURCE OF INFECTION:

Quarantine
Surveillance
Disinfection
