ANS: A, B, D
The epidemiological triangle includes the agent (pathogen), host (people who are susceptible and become ill), and environment (the geographic area where people became ill). These three areas allow for an explanation of disease. Explanation of the health care system in the community, review of the methods by which disease can spread, and substances that are effective in sanitizing are not part of examining the epidemiological triangle.
