What are 4 ways to classify viruses?

Viruses can be classified based on their genetic material (DNA or RNA), their morphology (shape and structure), their host range (types of organisms they infect), and their mode of transmission (how they spread between hosts).


Explain the different means of spread of disease?

The infectious diseases can spread through air, indirect or direct contact and through body fluids like urine and saliva.


2. Transmission of infectious agents within healthcare requires a certain sequencing of elements that allows infection to occur. What is this called?

This process is called the chain of infection. It consists of six elements: infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host. Breaking any step in the chain can prevent the spread of infection.


What link in the chain of infection would be broken by cleansing and sterilization?

Cleansing and sterilization break the chain of infection by interrupting the mode of transmission. By eliminating or reducing the number of infectious agents on surfaces or in equipment, they prevent the direct or indirect transmission of pathogens from one person to another. This helps to protect individuals from getting infected and stops the spread of disease.


Which features classify viruses?

Viruses are classified based on features such as their genetic material (DNA or RNA), structure (envelope or non-enveloped), size, host specificity, and mode of transmission. Additionally, classification can also be based on the diseases they cause, their replication strategies, and other molecular characteristics.
