Entry term(s) reservorio de enfermedades
reservorio de enfermedades infecciosas
reservorios de enfermedades humanas
reservorios de infección
Scope note: Fuentes animadas o inanimadas que normalmente albergan organismos patógenos y sirven de este modo como fuentes potenciales de brotes de enfermedades. Los reservorios son distintos de los vectores (VECTORES DE ENFERMEDADES) y de los portadores, que son agentes de transmisión de enfermedades más que fuentes continuas de brotes de enfermedades potenciales. Los seres humanos pueden actuar como reservorios y como portadores de enfermedades.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004197
Scope note: Animate or inanimate sources which normally harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs are distinguished from vectors (DISEASE VECTORS) and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks. Humans may serve both as disease reservoirs and carriers.
Annotation: differentiate from DISEASE VECTORS: reservoirs can be animate or inanimate (like swamps, housedust, etc.)
