- Therefore, we define a reservoir as one or more epidemiologically connected populations or environments in which the pathogen can be permanently maintained and from which infection is transmitted to the defined target population.

- Reservoir. The reservoir of an infectious agent is the habitat in which the agent normally lives, grows, and multiplies. Reservoirs include humans, animals, and the environment.
- Portal of exit. Portal of exit is the path by which a pathogen leaves its host. The portal of exit usually corresponds to the site where the pathogen is localized.
- Modes of transmission. An infectious agent may be transmitted from its natural reservoir to a susceptible host in different ways. There are different classifications for modes of transmission.
- Portal of entry. The portal of entry refers to the manner in which a pathogen enters a susceptible host. The portal of entry must provide access to tissues in which the pathogen can multiply or a toxin can act.

Sep 6, 2017 · A conceptual framework for understanding a reservoir of infection has been established through various studies that have emphasized different aspects of zoonotic diseases. 1, 2, 3, 4 However, empirical characterization of reservoirs often remains controversial and challenging.

Identifying reservoirs of infection is critical for epidemiological research as it provides insights into the sources and patterns of disease transmission. This knowledge allows researchers to develop targeted interventions aimed at specific reservoirs to reduce incidence rates.
Jan 1, 2003 · A reservoir is defined as one or more epidemiologically connected populations of host species in which the pathogen can be permanently maintained and from which infection is transmitted [125].
Jan 15, 2019 · The most applicable and accepted way to investigate and define a reservoir emphasizes the annotation of a target group (Figure 1), which is an explicitly defined population of interest in a dynamic and heterogeneous landscape (for example, humans at the livestock–wildlife–human interface).
Dec 24, 2022 · The natural reservoir of some diseases remains unknown. In epidemiology, an epidemic occurs when new cases of a certain disease, in a given human population, and during a given period, substantially exceed what is expected based on recent experience.
