Disease Detectives B/C
Thought I would start the Disease Detectives marathon!
Here's something easy:
Give an example of a possible chain of infection for salmonella.

Here's something easy:
Give an example of a possible chain of infection for salmonella.
Reservoir: a animal serving as a carrier
Portal of Exit: animal excreta
Mode of Transmission: improperly cooked food
Portal of Entry: ingestion of infected food
Susceptible Host: a person (possibly immunocompromised, very old, or very young)
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12
I have no regrets.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
A hypothetical outbreak of cholera occurs in Sciolyville, NC. Some attendees of a picnic on an afternoon on May 17, 2020 were reported experiencing symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. It was later reported that water served at the picnic had come from a nearby river. The following data was collected on six potential cases that attended the picnic:
--------Initials---Onset----Diagnosis----Diarrhea? --Vomiting?--Dehydration?--Lab testing
