- preventing disease
- being hygienic
- using simple hygiene measures e.g. washing hands
- destroying vectors
- getting rid of the organisms that spread the disease
- isolating infected individuals
- isolation prevents them from passing the disease onto anyone else
- vaccination
- means they cant develop the infection and pass it on
- (injecting small amounts of dead or inactive pathogens)
- these carry antigens which cause your body to produce antibodies to attack
- even though the pathogen is harmless as its dead/inactive
- these carry antigens which cause your body to produce antibodies to attack
- advantages; epidemics can be prevented
- disadvantages; they don't always work, bad reactions can occur (but rarely do)
- being hygienic
