Define the following terms: Gastroenteritis Dysentery Hypovolemic shock Fecal-oral route List some similarities and differences in Rotavirus and Norovirus infections. Describe Helicobacter pylori infection, its transmission, and treatment. What is the difference between a foodborne infection and food poisoning? What are the four leading causes of food poisoning? Briefly explain how each is usually transmitted. What is Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and how is it usually triggered?
