What type of pathogen causes cholera? Because of this, would antibiotics be effective in treating exposure to cholera? Why or why not?

Bacteria (V. cholerae); Yes, because antibiotics are effective in treating most bacterial infections.

1. The more a person smokes, the higher likelihood of developing COPD.
2. In a hypothetical study on COPD, it is observed that those studied that have never smoked don't develop COPD, whereas those who smoke the most often develop COPD.
3. An outbreak of Legionnaire's disease may be caused by visiting a hot tub, because that is a common mode of transmission for Legionella spp.
1. Specificity 2. Strength 3. Biological plausibility

1. I was thinking Biological gradient 2. My answer was Experimental evidence, but that works too 3. Correct
Whoops, I forgot about biological gradient.Tailsfan101 wrote:amk578 wrote:1. Specificity 2. Strength 3. Biological plausibilityYour turn!1. I was thinking Biological gradient 2. My answer was Experimental evidence, but that works too 3. Correct
What are the four types of surveillance? Match each of the following statements to the correct type of surveillance. a. Diseases are reported to health care providers regularly. b. Health agencies contact health providers seeking reports. c. Focuses on symptoms rather than laboratory confirmed disease. d. Generally used for outbreaks involving bioterrorism. e. Used when high quality data is needed about a particular disease when a passive system can't be used.

Four types: Active, Passive, Sentinel, Syndromic a. Passive? (Do you mean reported [i]by[/i] health care providers?) b. Active (I'm assuming you mean the health agencies are the ones seeking reports c. Syndromic? d. Syndromic e. Active
Yeah looks good, except I think E best fits under sentinel surveillance.Cathy-TJ wrote:Four types: Active, Passive, Sentinel, Syndromic a. Passive?
