Document Summary
Flu: if something is not very communicable= not that easily spread (i. e. from animal to human but once the human gets it cant spread it to other humans ex. Sars: sars is not as communcle as the flu, zooinotic disease= any condition that can be spread from animal to person. Ex ecoli and hiv: how are these terms tied to disease outbreaks, because look at prevalence and incidence levels when trying to figure out if a disease is pandemic or epidemic. What are some mechanisms behind it?) and disease in a population: how disease works within a population. In influenza a virus vs. swine flu vs. bird. This is what happens when we get shift opposed to drift: in both antigenic shift and drift the immune system doesn"t recognize the new virus. Changes due to shift are more severe than those due to drift.
