What is the mode of transfer of disease from infected to healthy
Answers
Answer:
Breaking the chain at the ‘mode of transmission’ is one of the most important
ways to interrupt the spread of infection. This is where infection prevention and
control strategies can be most successful.
Microorganisms are transmitted in health care settings by four main routes:
• Contact
• Droplet
• Airborne
• Common vehicle
Routine Practices are designed to reduce the risk of transmission.
Microorganisms vary by size, the length of time that they survive on surfaces or
in the air and the method of getting around. These factors plus the variability
in virulence, the complications of treatment and the complex symptoms may
require special treatment of some patients. These ‘Additional Precautions’ are
grouped, based on the mode of transmission of the infectious agent.

Answer:
Infectious diseases are transmitted from person to person by direct or indirect contact. Certain types of viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi can all cause infectious disease. Malaria, measles, and respiratory illnesses are examples of infectious diseases.
Simple preventative measures, such as frequent hand washing, can cut down on disease transmission.
