Which of the following is characteristic of a single exposure common vehicle outbreak
In Point Source Epidemics, the exposure to the disease agent is brief and essentially simultaneous and the resultant cases all develop within one incubation period of the disease. A vehicle-borne transmission means the transmission of infectious agents through the agency of water, food or other biological products. If the dose of contamination is heavy, the outbreak may be explosive as in the case of cholera epidemics. *Since in the question it is given a single exposure, they develop within one incubation period.
