Ways of Exposure to a Pathogen (6) Airborne from sneezes and coughs Contaminated Food or Water Touch the pathogen on Surfaces Sharing foods or drinks with a friend Pets or Domesticated Animals Vectors Ways to Prevent an Infectious Disease (6) Vaccination Good Hygiene PPE (Gloves, Clothing Masks) Pasteurization Quarantining Sanitizing Sort these answers by: Characteristics of Epidemics, Characteristics of Pandemics, Disease Organizations to Know and Government Response. Epidemics (5) regional seasonal outbreak some immunity to the disease generally a vaccine available some die, but numbers are less Pandemics (6) a new pathogen or strain of a disease affects multiple countries or is global likelihood increased with aid of travel little to no immunity to the disease very deadly no vaccine available at the beginning Government Response to Diseases (5) Creation of a Vaccine Posting Signs on Limiting the Spread of Disease Quarantine Close Contacts Isolating Infected Individuals Researching Disease Creating Diagnostic Tests Disease Organizations to Know (3) Center for Disease Control World Health Organization National Institute of Health To mark a word click its first letter then click its last.
