Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease), and the application of this study to the control of
diseases and other health problems ’

Communicable Diseases:
A communicable (or infectious) disease is one caused by transmission of a specific pathogenic agent to a susceptible host.
• Directly, from other infected humans or animals, or• Indirectly, through vectors, airborne particles or vehicles.

Impact of communicable Diseases Six causes account for almost half of all
premature deaths, mostly in children and young adults, and account for almost 80% of all deaths from infectious diseases:
Acute respiratory infections (3.76 million) HIV/AIDS (2.8 million) Diarrhoeal diseases (1.7 million) Tuberculosis (1.6 million) Malaria (1 million) Measles (0.8 million)

Epidemic
Epidemics are defined as the occurrence of cases in excess of what is normally expected in a community or region.
Epidemic varies according agent, the size, type susceptibility of population exposed, and the time and place of occurrence.
![Page 10: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Agent
‘A substance, living or non living, or a force, tangible or intangible, the excessive presence or relative lack of which may initiate or perpetuate a disease process’
Biological Nutrient Physical Chemical Mechanical Social

r
The pathogenicity of the agent: its ability to produce disease, measured by the ratio of the number of persons developing clinical illness to the number exposed.
Virulence: a measure of the severity of disease, which can vary from very low to very high.
Infective dose: the amount required to cause infection in susceptible subjects.
The source of infection: the person or object from which the host acquires the agent.

Air Borne Disease:
“A mechanism of transmission of an infectious agent by particles, dust or droplet nuclei suspended in air”
Two types of particles are implicated the airborne form of spread of infectious agent
o Droplet Nucleio Droplet Particles
![Page 15: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Droplet Nuclei
tiny particles (1-10 microns) that represent the dried residue of droplets. Smaller particles (<3 microns) in diameter may
contain one or two micro-organism which fail to settle due to gravity and
remain suspended in the atmosphere for long periods of time.
![Page 16: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dust
Larger droplets which are expelled during talking, coughing or sneezing, settle down by their sheer weight on the floor and other objects in the immediate environment.
streptococci, viruses and fungal spores and skin squmae have been found in the dust.
Some of them as TB bacilli may remain viable under optimum condition of temperature and moisture.
Dust released becomes infective again. This type of transmission is more common in hospital settings.

Source Of Infection: Either clinical, Subclinical case or carriers
r
Infections caused by clinical case:•Chicken pox•Measles•Rubella•Mumps (no sub-clinical case)•Influenza•Diphtheria•Pertussis (no sub-clinical case)•Mycobacterim TB
Carrier:•Diphetheria (95%)•Meningococcal Meningitis(70-80%)•Mycobacterium TB
![Page 20: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Incubation Period:
All the viral infections have short incubation period varying from 1-3weeks.
Shortest incubation period is for influenza which is 18 to 72 hours.In case of Bacterial infections incubation period is as:Diphtheria 2-6 daysPertussis (no sub-clinical case) 7-14 daysMeningococcal Meningitis 2-10 days
![Page 21: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
r
r
Period of communicability:Highly infectious in early stage of disease (Prodromal Period)
Secondary attack Rate:
Secondary attack rate is highest in case of Chickenpox 90% and Mumps 86%.In case of bacterial infection if person is unimmunized it may range to 90% (Pertussis)
All viral infections confers lifelong immunity (once attacked)
![Page 22: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
r
Infective material: Nasopharyngeal, Bronchial secretions or skin
squmae can also be source of infection.
Host Factors: Age: Most susceptible age group is 6months-3 yrs
more common in less than 5yrs of age and elderly people except influenza which is common in all ages.
![Page 23: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
r
Sex:
Both the sexes are equally susceptible
Genetic: Twin studies have shown that monozygotic twins are more prone to infection than dizygotic ones.
Blood Groups:
Analyzing on the basis of ABO typing of blood groups it’s been seen that AB and B blood group people are susceptible than A and O blood group.
Nutrition:
Malnutrition favors the infection and subsequent spread of disease.
![Page 24: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stress:Some studies have shown that stress may reduce cell mediated immunity and a factor responsible for air borne infection. Occupation:People working in the mines, silica industry are more prone to air borne infection. People working in the health care setting are more exposed to air borne infectious agents.
Human mobility: Infections are more common in people who are generally mobile on duty.
![Page 25: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Environmental Factors:
Air borne infection is more common in the winter and spring region.
In India Influenza infection is more common in the summer season.
Diphtheria, Measles are common in all the season.
Winter season favors the transmission due to dampness and humidity.
![Page 26: Air Borne Infection: Epidemiology and control measures Moderator: Prof.A.M.Mehendale Presenter : Dr.Rohan](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e765503460f94b779a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Overcrowding: favors the transmission of the air borne infection. Eg: schools, barracks, and railway platform etc. attack rates are high in close population. Ventilation:Poor ventilation refers to absence of clean air which increases the potential of air borne infection. Light:An ultraviolet ray of sunlight kills antimicrobials in the air
and renders it clean and keep non humid environment.

Environmental Factors
The following factors have been associated with the emergence and spread of infectious diseases
the changes in human demographics and behaviour the impact of new technologies and industries economic development and changes in land use increased international travel and commerce microbial adaptation and change the breakdown of public health measures, and Sharing an environment with domestic or wild
animals or birds
