Mass dug administration; individuals tested; blackflies caught

Diagnosis of individual; treatment with drug; patient tested for worms

Diagnosis of individuals; mass drug administration; transmission blocked

Mass drug administration; blackflies caught; screened for baby worms

Humans disturb wildlife habitats/or keep market wildlife unsanitary

Novel pathogen evolves with higher transmission rates

Initial jump to humans occurs

Usually uses random sampling

Aims to determine prevalence of an infectious agent in the population

Can aid in a public heath response

It’s a test procedure to determine if an individual is infected

developing an antiviral drug to reduce symptoms

developing a vaccine and immunizing the population

implementing a ban on air travel

increasing the chlorine content of water supplies in susceptible areas

only used when necessary

specific transmission-based interventions

are designed to interrupt the mode of transmission of the infectious agent

routinely applied strategies

in pandemic situations only

when Standard Precautions may not be sufficient to interrupt the mode of transmission of specific infectious agents

in a code blue situation

routinely
