Preventive measures
The most effective way to control infectious diseases is prevention and control. Because of the three basic conditions of infectious diseases (the source of infection, the route of transmission and the susceptible population), the lack of any one can not cause the epidemic of infectious diseases, so the prevention of infectious diseases is also Mainly focused on these three aspects:
1. Control the source of infection: This is the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases. For infectious diseases of human infection, it is necessary to properly arrange the patient or the source carrier in a designated isolation position, temporarily isolate from the crowd, actively carry out treatment, care, and have infectious secretions, excretions and utensils, etc. Perform the necessary disinfection to prevent the spread of pathogens. However, if it is an unknown source of infection, especially the source of infection of the animal, it is not easy to get accurate results because it determines the need for epidemiological causal inference and the results of laboratory tests. When a sudden acute infectious disease occurs, it is more difficult to lock the source of infection in a short time. However, once the source of infection is determined, it is necessary to take effective measures to control the source of infection in time to ensure that the source of infection will not continue to spread the pathogen to susceptible populations.
