2COMMUNICABLE DISEASESection1 1.1 The outbreak of Staphylococcus food poisoning when traced back with the two kitchenstaffs. One was well but has positive pathogen detected in the nasal swab but other has a septicfinger. (Derde, et al, 2014). Between the two one that is well and has positive swab infection issaid to be colonized among the two carriers this is because the colonization of the microbes takeplace is that after infection even if it grows in the body, it do not cause any symptoms. 1.2 If the syringe of H.I.V positive user is shared, then H.I.V will spread. The H.I.V virus is thesource. Transmission of the disease occurs when any normal person uses the same syringe of theinfected person. The latent H.I.V viruses have the reservoirs in the immune cells. The reservoirscan be found throughout the body including brain, lymph nodes, blood and even in the digestiveglands. After entering the body the virus inserts their genetic blueprint, D.NA into the hostimmune cells such as the CD4 cells. It remains latent when it manufactures the proteins. Afterthe proteins are produced, the immune system gets totally disrupted. 1.3 In any endemic area, when other influences are equal, immunogenicity is inverselyproportional to the transmissibility. This is because the speed with which the immunity developsin the population is inversely related. 1.4 Immunogenicity is the ability of the organism to produce the immune response andprovides shielding affect against reinfection. In endemic conditions the immunogenicity becomesthus inversely proportion to the transmission because as the immune response increase in apopulation, the less will be the expression of the infections and less will be the spread of thedisease in a population. 1.5 The reason behind the influence of the antigenic variation and the immunogenicity is thatwhen antigenic variation occurs the pathogens can change their surface proteins in order to evade
