---Polio---

I think the most suitable answer is polio. Although poliomyelitis is mainly transmitted via fecal-oral route, but the fine droplet of saliva which come out by patients will spread in air. That also a possible way to spread polio virus.

Typhoid fever is acquired via contaminated food.
Venereal disease or sex-transmitted disease, STD is via sex or close contact.
malaria is though the vector (Mosquito-Anopheles genus).
Rabies is transmitted though infected animal (like bats, monkeys, raccoons, foxes, skunks, cattle, wolves, cats & dogs) bites and scratches.
