Short Event Description: "Students will use investigative skills in the scientific study of disease, injury, health and disability in populations or groups of people with a focus on foodborne illness."
Define the term “host” and name the three classifications of hosts.

Define the term “host” and name the three classifications of hosts.
A host is an organism that can be infected by a pathogen under normal circumstances; this organism harbors and provides shelter for the pathogen. Classifications: primary, secondary (intermediate), and reservoir.

Since it's been a while(ish) since the last post, I'll just jump in here!
1. What is the Hawthorne effect?
2. Name a viral infection that is associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome.
3. Name a bacterial infection that is associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Describe the pathophysiology of GBS caused by this bacterium.

The Hawthorne effect is when people will alter behaviors in a study since they know they are being observed.
The Zika virus is associated with guillain barre syndrome. A bacterial infection associated could be Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
GBS is caused by this bacterium as it is usually triggered by an infection. When antibodies are made to fight a disease, they sometimes mistake the nerves as germs, causing inflammation and leading to GBS.

Nobody has posted in a while, so here are a few questions:
1. What is prophylaxis?
2. How can anthrax be transmitted?
3. Define a spot map.

1. actions taken to prevent a disease from occurring
2. inhaling spores in the air (aerosol transmission)
3. map showing case locations

Those are correct. Anthrax can also be spread through contaminated food (gastrointestinal anthrax) and through open skin (cutaneous anthrax). You can post a question.

Since no one has posted in a while:
Differentiate between pathogenicity, infectivity, and virulence.
