Questions and answers

What conditions are necessary for infection to occur?

The agent must be pathogenic. There must be a reservoir of a sufficient number for the organism to live and reproduce. The agent must be transferable (able to move/be moved through the environment. There must be a portal of entry into the new host (individual). The new host must be susceptible to the biological agent. (paragraph 3)

How are vector-borne biological agents delivered?

A vector-borne agent is a biological agent that can be delivered using vectors such as mosquitoes, flies, fleas, lice and ticks. (paragraph 6)

How long must HHA sample results be allowed to develop?

Sample results must be read within this time period = 15 minutes (+/- 1 minute). (paragraph 4)

What system is used to document biological sampling strategies?

Utilize DOEHRS or equivalent to document sampling strategies.
