- reservoir
- portal of exit
- mode of transmission
- portal of entry
- susceptible host

reservoir - Answer the habitat of the infectious agent and is where it lives, grows, and reproduces itself
or replicates
animate examples: people, insects, birds, animals

mode of transmission - Answer how a bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite, or prion moves from place to

can be from sneezing, coughing, singing, and talking
medical procedures like CPR and intubation can release droplets into the air
airborne transmission - Answer occurs when small particulates move into the airspace of another
person and carry infectious agents
these patients should be placed in a private room with negative air pressure (circulates the air outside of
the building)

replicate or its toxin can act
examples: any body orifice or the skin

- indwelling devices (like urinary catheters, central lines, etc.)
List the modes of transmission (5): - Answer - contact
- droplet
- airborne
,- vector
- vehicle
vehicle transmission - Answer transmission of infectious agents to multiple individuals through a
