Transmission plays an integral part in understanding the mechanisms of how infectious agent causes disease
Transmission plays an integral part in understanding the mechanisms of how infectious agent causes disease. For an organism to survive and repeat the cycle, a host and reservoir is needed. All of you know that transmission occurs by either direct or in-direct contact. For many respiratory diseases, contact is by aerosolized droplets (coughing, sneezing, kissing, etc.…). Gastrointestinal diseases are often acquired by ingesting food and water that is contaminated. Many diseases that are contracted in under-developed countries are acquired by fecal-oral transmission (e.g. cholera).
Discuss the different types of transmission. Provide an example of each. please use in text citations.
