Activity 3: Interactive Learning Resources
Communicability
- Go to the simulation on spread of disease at http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/doublex/spring01/epidemiology.html
- Work through simulation, completing all questions.
- What has this suggested about how disease can spread?
- What preventive strategies could you take to decrease the spread?
Food Borne Illness
- Causative Agents:
- Botulism: http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/dfbmd/disease_listing/botulism_gi.html
- Colstridium perfringens: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~ebam/bam-16.html
- How do these organisms cause disease through food?
- What effect does poor food preparation, packaging play?
- How can it be prevented?
- What is the action of the organism in the body?
- What is the route of transmission?
