Gastroenteritis is transmitted by fecal-oral route. Feces are transmitted to another person through infected water, hands or flies.
Gastroenteritis is typically transmitted through contaminated food or water, close contact with an infected person, or consuming food or drink that has been prepared by someone with the infection. The most common causes are viruses and bacteria, such as norovirus and E. coli. Proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing and food safety measures, can help prevent the spread of gastroenteritis.
Viral gastroenteritis can be caused by a number of organisms including noroviruses, rotoviruses, adenoviruses, sapoviruses, and astroviruses. They are highly contagious and the symptoms can cause life-threatening dehydration in some cases.
