| Incubation Period | Time from initial infection until clinical signs appear |
| Incubation period for most bacteria | 2 to 5 days |
| Incubation period for most viruses | 3 days to 2 weeks |
| Nosocomial Infection | Hospital acquired infection, occurs in approx. 5% of pts |
| Zoonosis | Transmission of disease from animal to people |
| Nosocomial Infection surg. rates | If surg. last less than 30 min = 1% If lasts greater than 3.5 hrs = 14% |
| Vector | Invertebrate insect that can transmit disease through it's bite |
| Fomite | Inanimate object contaminated with microorganisms, can transmit disease |
| Endemic | When a organism prevails continuously in a certain geographic location, disease is constantly present in certain geographical area |
| Epidemic | Sudden outbreak or increase in number of disease cases, no one number defines an epidemic |
| Pandemic | An epidemic occurring over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people, a global pandemic |
| Reservoir | In order for an organism to continue to exist and be spread, it has to have a permanent place to reside; a reservoir could be human, animal, soil, water, plants |
| Carrier | An infected individual who is a potential source of infection for other, may or may not be symptomatic |
| Resolution | The ability of the lens to distinguish fine detail |
| Parfocal | The lenses remain almost in focus when a higher magnification objective is moved into position |
| Genus | Number of related organisms |
| Species | Each different organisms within the genes |
| Vaccine | Viral Antigens |
