| Video Discription | #publichealth crash course on Epidemiological Triad: The causes of a disease are often considered in terms of a triad of factors (Epidemiological Triad): the host, the agent, and the environment. For many diseases, it is also useful to add a fourth factor, the vector. In measles, the host is a human who is susceptible to measles infection, the agent is a highly infectious virus that can produce serious disease in humans, and the environment is a population of unvaccinated individuals, which enables unvaccinated susceptible individuals to be exposed to others who are infectious. The vector in this case is relatively unimportant. In malaria, however, the host, agent, and environment are all significant, but the vector, the Anopheles mosquito, assumes paramount importance in the spread of disease. Host factors are responsible for the degree to which the individual is able to adapt to the stressors produced by the agent. Host resistance is influenced by a person’s genotype (e.g., dark skin reduces sunburn), nutritional status and body mass index (e.g., obesity increases susceptibility to many diseases), immune system (e.g., compromised immunity reduces resistance to cancer as well as microbial disease), and social behavior (e.g., physical exercise enhances resistance to many diseases, including depression). Several factors can work synergistically, such as nutrition and immune status. Measles is seldom fatal in well-nourished children, even in the absence of measles immunization and modern medical care. By contrast, 25% of children with marasmus (starvation) or kwashiorkor (protein-calorie malnutrition related to weaning) may die from complications of measles. Agents of disease or illness can be divided into several categories. Biologic agents include allergens, infectious organisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses), biologic toxins (e.g., botulinum toxin), and foods (e.g., high-fat diet). Chemical agents include chemical toxins (e.g., lead) and dusts, which can cause acute or chronic illness. Physical agents include kinetic energy (e.g., involving bullet wounds, blunt trauma, and crash injuries), radiation, heat, cold, and noise. Epidemiologists now are studying the extent to which social and psychological stressors can be considered agents in the development of health problems. The environment influences the probability and circumstances of contact between the host and the agent. Poor restaurant sanitation increases the probability that patrons will be exposed to Salmonella infections. Poor roads and adverse weather conditions increase the number of automobile collisions and airplane crashes. The environment also includes social, political, and economic factors. Crowded homes and schools make exposure to infectious diseases more likely, and the political structure and economic health of a society influence the nutritional and vaccine status of its members. Vectors of disease include insects (e.g., mosquitoes associated with spread of malaria), arachnids (e.g., ticks associated with Lyme disease), and mammals (e.g., raccoons associated with rabies in eastern U.S.). The concept of the vector can be applied more widely, however, to include human groups (e.g., vendors of heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine) and even inanimate objects that serve as vehicles to transmit disease (e.g., contaminated needles associated with hepatitis and AIDS). A vector may be considered part of the environment, or it may be treated separately. To be an effective transmitter of disease, the vector must have a specific relationship to the agent, the environment, and the host. In the case of human malaria, the vector is a mosquito of the genus Anopheles, the agent is a parasitic organism of the genus Plasmodium, the host is a human, and the environment includes standing water that enables the mosquito to breed and to come into contact with the host. Specifically, the plasmodium must complete part of its life cycle within the mosquito; the climate must be relatively warm and provide a wet environment in which the mosquito can breed; the mosquito must have the opportunity to bite humans (usually at night, in houses where sleeping people lack screens and mosquito nets) and thereby spread the disease; the host must be bitten by an infected mosquito; and the host must be susceptible to the disease.
