What occurred when pathogens are tranfered from one surface to another?
When pathogens are transferred from one surface to another, they can potentially contaminate the new surface, leading to the risk of infection if a person comes into contact with it. This transfer can occur through direct touch, airborne particles, or contaminated objects. The viability of the pathogens depends on factors such as the type of pathogen, the surface material, and environmental conditions. Effective cleaning and disinfection practices are essential to mitigate the spread of these pathogens.
What pathogens are spread by objects?
All the pathogens spread by fecal-oral route can be spread by objects. If the person handling the object has 'not' washaed his hands after defecation, he will transfer the germs to object. And if the person receiving the object does not wash his hands with soap and water and eat the food, he will get the infection. Like cholera, typhoid, amebic and bacillary desentry, rotavirus infection, hepatitis A etc.
What occurs when pathogens are transferred from one surface to another?
When pathogens are transferred from one surface to another, it can lead to the contamination of the new surface. This can increase the risk of infection if individuals come into contact with the contaminated surface. Regular cleaning and proper hygiene practices can help reduce the spread of pathogens between surfaces.

What is an indirect or fomite infection?
An indirect or fomite infection occurs when a person becomes infected by touching contaminated surfaces or objects that harbor infectious organisms. This can happen when the person touches their face, mouth, or eyes after touching the contaminated surface, allowing the pathogens to enter the body.
How can pathogens be transmitted to humans?
If you toched someone with it you would catch it. ALso many people tried to run away which just caused it to spread more. the disease came from rats and people's toilets so it is all over the streets. The dead bodies could still spread the disease too.
