Is measles a airborne virus?
Yes, but can also be contracted by touching surfaces that an infected person has recently touched, and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
How does the roughness of surfaces that are touching affect the friction betwen the surfaces?
The rougher the surfaces the greater the friction.

How does TB enter the body?
Tuberculosis is transmitted through infected saliva particles that leave a person's mouth when they cough. Coughing into ones hand, touching someone else, and that person touching their nose or mouth could transmit the disease. Tuberculosis is also airborne, meaning if you cough near someone, those particles could affect that person without you directly touching them as well.
How can tuberculosis be transmitted?

Microorganisms suspended in warm, moist droplets and may enter through the eyes, nose and mouth surfaces. Person with low body mass index, diabetics, and individuals on immunosuppressive therapy with low immune system are susceptible to Tuberculosis.
