Description:

What are the components of the epidemiologic triangle? Host, agent, and environment. A host is the living organism capable of becoming infected, and agent is a factor that must be present (or potentially missing) for the occurrence of a disease, and an environment is an extrinsic force or situation affecting the host's opportunity to be exposed to the agent. A vector may be present to bring the agent to the host. [Description provided by NIOSH]
