    Year 12 Biology Infectious Disease Lesson 2: Transmission of disease Sample resources 1 Year 12 Biology Lesson 2: Transmission of disease Transmission of disease The chain of infection ▪ Infectious diseases result from the interaction of the pathogen, the host and the environment. This is referred to as the chain of infection. ▪ If the chain is broken at any point, the spread of disease can be prevented. Infectious Agents Susceptible Reservoirs Host Portals of Portals of Entry Exit Modes of Transmission ▪ Infectious agents are living and non-living things that cause disease. − What is the technical term for this?1 _________________________________________________________________ − Provide some examples. 2 _________________________________________________________________ 2 Our students come first Copyright © Matrix Education 2020 All rights reserved.

Year 12 Biology Lesson 2: Transmission of disease ▪ A reservoir is a place where the pathogen can live grow and reproduce, within people, water or food for example. − What are the reservoirs for the common cold and prion diseases? 3 __________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ▪ To be infectious the pathogen must have a way of leaving the reservoir (portal of exit), such as through blood, other bodily fluid or skin. − What is the portal of exit for a tape worm? 4 _________________________________________________________________ Guinea worm exits through ulcers in the skin. ▪ Modes of transmission are the ways the pathogen spreads from the reservoir to the next susceptible host. This may be achieved through physical contact, droplets or by airborne pathogens.
