pathogen → reservoir (can be nonhuman or human) → portal of exit → mode of transmission (indirect or direct) → portal of entry → susceptible host (always human)

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
For what study types would you use relative risk, odds ratio, and prevalence odds ratio/prevalence ratio?

Odds ratios are most commonly used in case-control studies, however they can also be used in cross-sectional and cohort study designs as well.
