Ability to Attach for infection - ANS-Electrostatic charges of pathogen attach to
oppositely charges human cell
pathogen has specific adhesions (most bacteria)

genetic characteristics protect against drying
carried by vector
AFB - ANS-acid-fast bacillus (TB organism)
Analogy - ANS-If similar associations have been shown to be casual, by analogy the
association under consideration is more likely to be casual
Anthrax - ANS-bacillus anthracis, a spore forming gram positive bacillus. humans are

Exotoxins
Endotoxins
Basophils - ANS-A circulating leukocyte that produces histamine.
Biological Gradient - ANS-dose-response relationship between increased exposure to
the factor and increased likelihood of disease
Biological Plausibility - ANS-The association should be in light of current knowledge
Bivariate Relationships - ANS-Correlation +1 to -1
Regression= influence of one variable on another
Confounding Variables = false relationships between variable or hide existing
relationship

weapon use
Calculating Odds Ratio - ANS-OR = (ad) / (cb)
Calculating Relative Risk - ANS-RR = (a/[a + b]) / (c [c +d])
Candiasis - ANS-__________ is a disease caused by the yeast candida albicans.
Incubation 2-5 days. Antifungal tx.
Casual Association - ANS-When evidence indicates that a factor clearly increases
probability of occurrence of disease and reduction of said factor decreases frequency of
the disease
