  2. Dec 24, 2022 · Disease Reservoirs. A natural reservoir refers to the long-term host of the pathogen of an infectious disease. It is often the case that hosts do not get the disease carried by the pathogen or it is carried as a subclinical infection and so remains asymptomatic and non-lethal.

  3. Apr 19, 2012 · Confusing, conflicting, and often incomplete concepts of what constitutes a disease reservoir result. We propose a conceptual framework for defining and identifying reservoirs and discuss the practical value of different approaches that may be used to identify reservoirs in the field.

  4. Oct 24, 2016 · Infectious agents can exist in more than one type of reservoir. The number and types of reservoirs are important determinants of how easily an infectious disease can be prevented, controlled, and, in some cases, eliminated or eradicated.

  5. Managing reservoirs of multihost pathogens often plays a crucial role in effective disease control. However, reservoirs remain variously and loosely defined. We propose that reservoirs can only be understood with reference to defined target populations.

  6. The chain of infection, also referred to as the chain of transmission, describes how an infection spreads based on these six links of transmission: Infectious Agent. Reservoirs. Portal of Exit. Modes of Transmission. Portal of Entry. Susceptible Host.

  8. Jan 15, 2019 · We propose an empirical framework, considering maintenance and feasible transmission of a pathogen, to standardize the acceptance of a disease reservoir across multiple disciplines. We demonstrate the intended use of these requirements by applying them to different diseases that are known to infect both humans and animals.
