Svensk definition
Levande eller ickelevande reservoarer för sjukdomsframkallande organismer som utgör potentiella källor för sjukdomsutbrott. Reservoarer måste särskiljas från vektorer och bärare, som är ansvariga för överföringen av sjukdom.
Disease Reservoirs
Sjukdomsreservoarer
Engelsk definition
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.
