A
Vector-borne transmission
B
Direct contact
C
Fomite transmission
D
Airborne transmission
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the different modes of pathogen transmission: Direct contact, Fomite transmission, Vector-borne transmission, and Airborne transmission.
Direct contact transmission occurs when pathogens are transferred through physical touch between an infected person and a susceptible host, such as touching another person's skin.
Fomite transmission involves indirect contact through contaminated objects or surfaces, not direct skin-to-skin contact.
Vector-borne transmission requires a living organism, like a mosquito or tick, to carry and transmit the pathogen, which is different from direct skin contact.
Airborne transmission involves the spread of pathogens through droplets or dust particles suspended in the air, not through direct touch.
