INTRODUCTION:
 There are many ways that diseases can be passed
from person to person, and some diseases can be
transmitted in more than one way. Sometimes
transmission contact with an infected person, while
ather times it only requires being near an infected
patten some diseases are mot even spread through
contact with people at all, but through contact with
animalsinvolves direct.
z

Direct transmission
 Direct transmission means that the
disease is patsed directly from an
infected person or animal to another
person or animal.
z
Person to person:
 Person to person transmission can occur any time an
infected person Toucher or exchanges body fluids
with another person, For example, kissing can be one
method of person-to person transmission. A pregnant
mother can also pass a disease on to her unbom
child.
z
DROPLET:
 Some diseases are spread by coughing of
aning. which can cause droplets containing
the infection agent to land on nearby people.
z
INDIRECT TRANSMISSION:
 Indirect transmision occurs when a
disease is passed tram an infected
person to another person, even though
the two people have not had direct
contact.
z
Fecal-oral:

 Fecal-oral transmission c occurs when feces-

oftenmicroscopic amounts- e transmitted from en
infected person or animal to another person by
mouth. This can happen if food workers une the
restroom but do not adequately wash theirhands
before preparing food for customers to sat.
z
Airborne diseases:
 Sometimes, an infectiousgent enters the air when an
infected person breath -and it can remain in the air for
an extended period of time. When another p
personneetes, coughs laugh or eventcomes into
contact with the agent, this can lead to airborne
transmission.
z
Fomites:
 A fomite is an inanimate object that serves a vehicle
to pass infectious disease from an infected person to
healthy person For example, a water fountain might
become contaminated by the saliva of an infected
person and passthat disease on to another person
who drinks from it Other examples of potential
fomites include doorknobs, hands and shared
computer keyboards.
z
Vector transmission:
 Vector transmission requites another organism to
transmit disease from person to person or tram anime
to person. This is a type of 20onotic (animal to
person) transmission, but differs from direct zoonosis,
in which a vertebrate animal contracts a disease and
passit directly to a person with rabies.
z
Insect bites:
 Vector-borne diseases we most commonly
transmitted by insect bites. For example mosquitoes
maguire malaria parasites by leading on infected
humans and then transfer that infection to other
people when they feed again. The plague which killed
tens of millions of Europeans in the fourteenth
century, was transmitted from rats to humans through
files bites.
 z
Conclusion:
 If the person you are visiting is on transmission-
based precautions (e.g., contact, droplet, or airborne
isolation), talk to the nurse before entering the room
to find out what steps you will have to take—such as,
wearing a mask, a gown, and/or gloves.
