prevent infectious disease
hygiene practices
defintion
It kills pathogens to reduce risk of transfer therefore reduces incidence of disease
decription
it maintains good health and minimises the spread of disease
examples
personal hygiene
washing hands, bathing
communal hygiene
water purification, filteration, boiling
food hygiene
keep raw and cooked food separate, store to at correct temperature
quarantine
description
inspection, regulation, restriction of movement, enforced destruction of disease organism
examples
animal
40 days quarantined after animal cross australian border
plant
quarantine after plant crosses australian border
Definition
act of individuals or species that are potentially infected from exposure to infectious pathogen
vaccination
defintion
the resistant to infection by specific pathogens. they prevent future infections
decription
active immunity
contains weakened or dead version of pathogen
production of antibodies, t and b memory cells --> long term protection
passive immunity
injection with antibodies
passes the immune system and provides immediate protection (no memory cells)
examples
active
booster injection to increase memory cells
e.g., measled, mumps and rubella (MMR) and chickenpox vaccines
passive
if exposed to hepatitis A, immunoglobulin (antibodies) should be injected
public health campaigns
definition
Advertisement to the public to convey a health message
establish methods regarding sterilising medical equipment between patients in hospitals
establish standard methods when handling food
example
HPV vaccination

description
RICE
resoluation

information
epidemiological/ studies of pathogen and its mode of transmissin
coordination
local, regional and global efficiently
education
factors affecting local, regional or global
use of pesticides
definition
chemicals that kill pests to reduce the occurrence of disease
examples
contains carbamates and pyrethroids that prevent spread of malaria disease from mosquito
description
insecticides
kill insects
fungicides
kill fungal pathogens
herbicides
kill weeds
genetic engineering
defintion
recombinant DNA technology to modify organisms genome
examples
Bt cotton
bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is inserted into cotton plant genome --> produced protein that kills insects
description
prevents occurring disease and controls the spread of disease through the population
