Direct Transmission - person-to-person contact.Certain diseases are spread by physical contactwith an infected person. Examples are syphilis, gonorrhea, and scabies.
Indirect Transmission - person-to-object contact. (1) Droplets, air, and dust.
(2) Fomites. Articles contaminated with disease germs from an infected
person may become vehicles of disease transmission if a susceptible pers them. Examples of fomites are con
taminated clothing, bed linen, and eating utensils
Airborne Transmission - droplet infection
Aerosol, Spray, or Spatter
Perenteral Transmission - through the skin as a cut
Blood-borne Transmission - direct or indirect contact with blood or other body fluids
Food and Water Transmission
Oral-Fecal Transmission
Yes, the acidic pH of vaginal secretions can help protect against sexually transmitted pathogens by creating an inhospitable environment for certain pathogens to thrive. However, this protection is not foolproof and may vary depending on the specific pathogen and the individual's vaginal health. It is important to practice safe sex measures to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
Microbiologists, immunologists, and epidemiologists are scientists who study pathogens. Microbiologists focus on the characteristics and behavior of pathogens, immunologists study the body's immune response to pathogens, and epidemiologists investigate how pathogens spread in populations.
STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are infections transmitted through sexual contact, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, and can be bacterial, viral, or parasitic. BBVs (bloodborne viruses) are infections transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, and can be transmitted through sharing needles or other equipment that may have blood on them. While STIs are primarily transmitted through sexual activity, BBVs can be transmitted through various means involving blood exposure.
Pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. An example sentence could be: "The doctor prescribed antibiotics to combat the bacterial pathogens causing the patient's illness."
No, allergies cannot be transmitted sexually.
No TB is not genetically transmitted. TB is transmitted through airborne pathogens that are breathed in to the lungs.
Any blood-borne or saliva-borne pathogens can be transmitted to the unwary.
bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted inthe air
The major reservoirs of pathogens include humans, animals, insects, and the environment. Pathogens can be carried and transmitted by these reservoirs, leading to the spread of diseases. It is important to identify and control these reservoirs to prevent the transmission of pathogens.
Asepsis means the absence of pathogens
The respiratory system; the lungs.
Mucus, Urine, Semen, and Cerebrospinal fluid.
A bloodborne pathogen is a disease causing agent in the blood such as a virus (HIV, HBV, or Herpes) or bacteria (TB, Gonorrhea). Corrected: Bloodborne Pathogens means, disease causing organisms transmitted by blood and other body fluids. Most common bloodborne pathogens are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C & HIV.
Any pathogen causes disease. Which disease depends on which pathogen.
Bleach will kill most blood borne pathogens.
Many pathogens can and are transmitted by mites and ticks. Some well known examples are Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Lyme disease, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of others. Mites are more famous for carrying pathogens that attack plants but there are some, such as scabies, that affect humans and animals. Some examples of the mite-borne plant pathogens are wheat mosaic, rye mosaic, Cherry mottle leaf, and Oat necrotic mottle.
Anything transmitted by airborne means, such as the cold and influenza is easily transmitted.
