Airborne diseases are spread when droplets of pathogens are expelled into the air due to coughing, sneezing or talking.
Chicken pox and Influenza are both airborn diseases.
The disease itself does not actually initiate the spreading of itself.
As the disease work on our body, we may start to cough.
Then if other people are nearby, they will inhale the tiny droplets we propelled into the air by coughing. Froplets get stuck in the loungs and are free to start infecting another body.
It is not the disease itself that chooses to spread itself.
Think of the disease as a football filled with paint slowly leaking out and allways being refilled.
Then kick the football and watch it bounce. Every time it hits something, it will release some paint and "infect" the place it hit.
The football and paint does not do this by will, it does this because it is its nature when something has set it in motion.
Food borne illness is caused by consuming contaminated foods or beverages. Many different disease-causing microbes or pathogens can contaminate foods, so there are many different types of food borne illnesses. Most food borne diseases are infections caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
diarrhea, dysentry, typhoid, polio, cholera, malaria,
That would completely depend on what the disease is. Though often times using an artemisinin derivative is used to fight parasite-borne diseases.
Different blood borne diseases have different incubation periods.
The viral water-borne diseases cannot be treated by the antibiotics while the bacterial water-borne diseases can be treated by the antibiotics.
I depends on the disease. Viral diseases often have vaccines. Heart disease can be prevented with good diet and excercise. Mosquito borne diseases can be prevented by using insect repellent.
The diseases that are caused by fungal pathogens which persist (survive) in the soil matrix and in residues on the soil surface are defined as soilborne diseases.
In overcrowded areas there are greater chances of a person infected with the disease spreading the infectious droplets through breathing or sneezing. So there are chances of a healthy person inhaling that. Also if the area is closed and not properly ventilated then infectious droplets will keep on circulating within the closed area infecting many people. So the chance of spreading air borne diseases are more in overcrowded and poorly ventilated areas.
Of coarse they can!! Animals drink the water infested with diseases and then they drink it, and get harmed by disease. Also if they swim in the water they will get sick.

Nah, they aint the same. water related diseases could mean 'water-borne diseases' and/or 'water-based diseases' at the same time.Water-borne diseases refers to the diseases that are transmitted by water.E.g.: typhoid fever. i.e. without water, it is impossible for the pathogen responsible for the disease to spread and be transmitted. It may not necessarily be water based.Water-based diseases; E.g: Schistosomiasis. refers to the diseases that contain and/or are dissolved in water within their life-cycle. they don't need water to be transmitted.Waterborne pathogens are transmitted by the fecal-oral route and water-based pathogens spend all or parts of their life in the water.Source: Environmentally Transmitted Pathogens;Charles P.

Air borne diseases. These crop diseases are transmitted by the air, e.g., 'rust of wheat' , "blast of rice" , etc. Air-borne diseases attack all aerial parts of the plants, e.g., leaf, flower, and fruits. Water borne diseases. Pathogens of these crop diseases are transmitted by the water, e.g., "bacterial blight of rice".
