  2. Pathogen avoidance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen_Avoidance

    In humans, the disgust responses are the primary mechanism for avoiding infection through behavior triggered by sensory cues. [10] [1] Tybur argues that pathogen disgust requires two psychological mechanisms: detection systems that recognize input cues associated with the presence of pathogens and integration systems that weigh cue-based pathogen threats with other fitness relevant factors and ...

    Studies show that olfactory cues of disease elicit disgust and predict pathogen avoidance behaviors. [12] In humans, body odors from diseased individuals are rated less desirable and likeable, [13] and perceived as unhealthier, more intense, and less pleasant. [14] Disgust of body odors is also influenced by the closeness of the source of odor.

    [9] [10] Interhuman transmission is a synonym for HHT. [ 11 ] The World Health Organization designation of a pandemic hinges on the demonstrable fact that there is sustained HHT in two regions of the world.

  5. Pathogen transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen_transmission

    An infectious disease agent can be transmitted in two ways: as horizontal disease agent transmission from one individual to another in the same generation (peers in the same age group) [3] by either direct contact (licking, touching, biting), or indirect contact through air – cough or sneeze (vectors or fomites that allow the transmission of the agent causing the disease without physical ...

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to concepts related to infectious diseases in humans.. Infection – transmission, entry/invasion after evading/overcoming defense, establishment, and replication of disease-causing microscopic organisms (pathogens) inside a host organism, and the reaction of host tissues to them and to the toxins they produce.

  7. Zoonosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonosis

    [2] [1] [3] [4] Major modern diseases such as Ebola and salmonellosis are zoonoses. HIV was a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans in the early part of the 20th century, though it has now evolved into a separate human-only disease. [5] [6] [7] Human infection with animal influenza viruses is rare, as they do not transmit easily to or among ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociality_and_Disease...

    Groups of animals and humans that live in places with high population density have an increased risk of disease prevalence.In looking at sociality and disease transmission, an examination of how social grouping strategies may reduce or increase the spread of disease is critical for the health of large groups of people.

  9. Latent period (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_(epidemiology)

    The infection of a disease begins when a pathogenic (disease-causing) infectious agent, or a pathogen, is successfully transmitted from one host to another. [3] Pathogens leave the body of one host through a portal of exit , are carried by some mode of transmission and after coming into contact (exposure) with a new susceptible host, they enter ...
