Question

What do you mean by direct and indirect transmission of disease give example?

Answer 1

Contact transmission is the most common form of transmitting diseases and virus. There are two

types of contact transmission: direct and indirect.

Direct contact transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person

and a susceptible person.

Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact

occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects, or to vectors such as mosquitoes,

flies, mites, fleas, ticks, rodents or dogs.
