Question

Discuss why it is important to know the specifics about how a disease transfers when you're planning programs or interventions aimed at eradication.

Answer 1

Eradication is the final goal for any diseases

Eradication focuses on the regular intervention methods that are no more used once interruption of disease happened worldwide

It is important to know the specifics about how the disease transfer and for eradication is:

• To prevent reintroduction of organism
• To focus on various methods of disease transmission to avoid reoccurance
• Micro organisms are dynamic and resilient and that can transfer from locally, nationally and internationally. So to understand about disease transmission for eradication is very much important
• If we know the epidemiological triad like host, agent and environment and its portal of entry and exit, we can track the organism and necessary steps will be taken
• Based on the behaviour of transmission we can identify if it is completely eradicated
