Etiology refers to the proposed cause or causes of a particular disease process. A sore throat is the

manifestation of the disease process. Genetic susceptibility refers to inherited tendency to develop a

susceptible individuals by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening,

and management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and
