Question

What is the source of infection?

Answer 1

How are Infectious Diseases Transmitted?

The infectious diseases are spread in the following ways:

• When an infected person sneezes or coughs, the droplets containing the pathogen of diseases such as influenza, common cold, etc. might spread in the air and infect others in the vicinity.

• Touching an infected person, or their body fluids such as saliva, blood, sweat, urine, etc. transfer the infections to a healthy person, e.g. chickenpox, measles, etc.

• Touching the objects or areas touched by an infected person can transfer the infection to a non-infected person and cause diseases.
