Here are the two kinds of transmission! This is the answer.
TWO KINDS OF TRANSMISSION – Diseases can be transmitted in two ways and here are the ways to infect uninfected individuals or groups.
In this time of the pandemic, we all became strict about cleanliness and became very much aware of the significance of having good health. Health is wealth indeed. The coronavirus can be transmitted through coughing, sneezing, and talking propelled through the air. This kind of virus can also survive on surfaces for hours that with just a mere touch, you’ll immediately be infected.
And infectious diseases can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Certain types of viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi can cause diseases that are infectious like malaria, measles, and respiratory illnesses. Transmission happens when the agent exits through a portal, taken by a mode of transmission, and eventually goes into the portal of entry of the susceptible host which results in a chain of infection.
DIRECT CONTACT
- Person-to-person contact – this happens when the infected person get into a direct contact like touching or exchanging of body fluids with another person.
- Droplet spread – this happens through coughing and sneezing and the chances to be infected are higher in close proximity.
INDIRECT CONTACT
- Airborne – this happens to agents that can travel the long distances just like measles. You can acquire measles if someone from the room has it because the type of virus that causes this stays in the air for an extended time.
- Contaminated objects – surfaces like the doorknobs, ATM machine keypads, and many more can shelter organisms for a period of time
- Food and drinking water – the most common is E. coli which can be found in meat that’s undercooked or improperly handled.
- Animal-to-person contact – animals and sometimes our pets have parasites that they can transmit to us like Toxoplasma gondii parasite which can be found in cat feces.
- Animal reservoirs – can cause zoonotic diseases like anthrax from sheep, rabies from rodents and other mammals, plague from rodents, and many more.
- Vector-borne disease – this from insect bites like the ones from mosquitos, fleas, and ticks.
