Question

A lab analyst's job can vary greatly from day to day and can require very specialized training. In extreme circumstances like disease outbreak, lab personnel can work with epidemiologists establish timelines of incidence, to determine etiological agents, and to distinguish mode of transmission. In times of more routine operations, public health lab analysts can work in a or research setting to process incoming samples and to use various technologies for test procedures. This activity will help you approach important viral diseases and their associated etiological agents from the perspective of a public health lab analyst, like one that may be found at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

To prepare for his analysis, he decides to look what type of diseases could be spread between animals and humans, as this is a new field for him. Michael has received limited information about the details of the outbreak from the epidemiologists that traveled to the site, but he does know that both animals and humans were infected by some type of virus. Michael looks through some of the lab manuals on how the samples will be handled once in the lab. While reading through these guidelines, he realizes that there are some terms he is not quite sure of. Below are sentences that reflect the terms that Michael had to acquaint himself with while reading through the published guidelines from his laboratory. Please review the sentences below and fill in the blanks with the correct word(s).
