    This document summarizes a student's extra credit assignment analyzing the disease vector, cure, public health response, mode of transmission, and role of immunity in the film World War Z. The disease is described as a rabies-like virus transmitted through bites from infected individuals. There was no cure, but spreading could be stopped through amputation or avoiding bites. Public health measures included evacuation by military, building walls, or sheltering in secure areas with minimal noise. Immunity was thought to play a role as zombies preferred healthy people, so some injected themselves with curable diseases to mask their health from zombies.

    1) What is the vector of the disease in this film?


    The vector of this disease is a rabies like virus
    2) What was the cure for the disease?
    There was no actual cure. You can stop the virus from spreading by
    amputation or simply not getting bitten.
    3) What public health protective measures were taken to keep this from spreading?
    If you were of some value to the government concerning this virus you were
    flown to an U.S. Navy Carrier, Jerusalem intercepted a message and was able
    to build a great wall, or staying in one securely look area making a minimal
    amount of noise.
    4) What was the mode of transmission?
    A bit from an infected person
    5) What role does immunity play in the resolution of this film?
    Because the infected ignored the sick, injured, and elderly it was assumed
    that the zombies rather have the healthy people rather than the sick. So the
    idea was to inject themselves with a deadly but curable disease in order to
    mask themselves from the zombies. It was a way to preserve life and fight
    against the incurable.
