Provide an explanation of how the disease flows from one link to the next.

Slide 6–7: Strategies to Mitigate Disease

Describe at least two public health strategies that can be implemented to alter the relationships among agent, host, and environment in the epidemiological triangle or to break the chain of infection.

• o Slide 8: References
