How is the epidemiological triangle related to pandemics, outbreaks?
Answer:
-An understanding of genetics and genomics is important in understanding
how new strains of viruses develop. Antigenic drift is a term describing the
changes that occur within virus' RNA that changes the virus. These changes
create seasonal strains of a virus. These new strains are the reason for medical
interventions such as seasonal influenza vaccines, and are also the cause of
adaptation in the virus that can create jumps from one species to another.
-Rapid genetic changes are some of the most challenging and deadly
occurrences that epidemiologists and scientists must battle in monitoring
and treating viruses.
-The larger population of both humans and animals, and the widespread
connectivity of people throughout the globe, create an environment in which
pandemic outbreak can spread quickly.
-Pandemic preparedness lies in the ability of HCWs to plan ahead, work
together, and understand the importance of genetics, genomics,
environment, risks, and spread of disease, as well as having good
understanding of biological sciences.
