Write the five ' F ' S that helps in prevention of transmission of diseases
Answers
Answer:
Direct contact: A susceptible animal becomes exposed through physical contact when the agent from an infected animal or the environment enters open wounds, mucous membranes, or the skin through blood, saliva, nose-to-nose, rubbing, or biting another animal. Some disease agents can spread between animals of different species, as well as to humans.
Subtype: Reproductive Diseases spread through venereal contact (from animal-toanimal through coitus) and in-utero (from dam to offspring during gestation).
Oral: Consumption of pathogenic agents in contaminated feed, water or licking/chewing on contaminated environmental objects. Feed and water contaminated with feces or urine are frequently the cause of oral transmission of disease agents. Contaminated environmental objects could include equipment, feed bunks, water troughs, fencing, salt and mineral blocks, and other items an animal may lick or chew.
Fomite: A contaminated inanimate object transmits a disease agent from one susceptible animal to another. It involves a secondary route of transmission (direct contact or oral) for the pathogen to enter the host. Examples include contaminated shovels, clothing, bowls/buckets, brushes, tack, and clippers.
Subtype: Traffic Vehicle, trailer, or human causes the spread of a pathogenic agent through contaminated tires, wheel wells, undercarriage, clothing, or shoes/boots by spreading organic

Answer:
“five f’s”: fluid (drinking contaminated water); fields (the contamination of soil and crops with human faecal matter); fingers (unwashed hands preparing food or going into the mouth); food (eating contaminated food); and flies (spreading disease from faeces to food and water or directly to people – particularly problematic where open-air defecation is the norm).
