The spread of diseases requires all of the following, except:
a. pathogen source. c. mode of transmis-sion.
b. immunosuppression. d. susceptible host.
ANS: B
Immunosuppression is not a requirement for the transmission of an infectious disease. However, a pathogen source, mode of transmission, and susceptible host must be present. A susceptible host does not have to be immunosuppressed to be considered susceptible. The host could have had surgery, be intubated, or have an indwelling catheter to be susceptible.
