| The entry of a microbial agent into a higher-order host and its multiplication within the host. | Infection |
| When something is consistent across different groups it is | Homogeneous |
| A generic term to describe the genetic, phenotypic, behavioural, life style, environmental factors (or potential causes) being studied in relation to an outcome of interest. | Exposure |
| A measure of cumulative incidence often used for an outbreak that occurs over a relativity short time period. | Attack rate |
| A disease that is constantly present in a population. | Endemic disease |
| The ability of an organism to invade and multiply within a host. It is the proportion of exposures that result in infection. | Infectivity |
| The period between the first detectable signs of a disease and the overt symptoms that normally lead to diagnosis. | Lead time |
| The theoretical point during the development of a disease after which the disease process is irreversible and treatment will confer little or no benefit. | Critical point |
| The occurrence of a disease at a greater level than what would normally be expected. | Epidemic |
| When something varies across different groups it is | Heterogeneous |
| The time between initial infection (entry of The disease into susceptible host) and the onset of clinical disease(symptoms). | Incubation period |
| When a lower organism lives on an external surface of an other (usually higher) organism. | Infestation |
