1. **Pathogen**
2. **Reservoir**
3. **Portal of Exit**

Each stage of the chain can be disrupted through specific interventions to prevent the spread of infections:
- **Pathogen Stage**
- Pasteurization of milk
- Chlorination of drinking water

- **Reservoir Stage**
- Medical treatment and testing
- Insect and rodent eradication
- Quarantine

- **Portal of Entry Stage**
