Insects can spread disease by acting as vectors, or carriers. Flies can carry germs from human waste or other tainted materials to food and beverages. Germs may also enter the body through the bite of a mosquito, louse, or other insect vector.
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.
The respiratory system; the lungs.
Mucus, Urine, Semen, and Cerebrospinal fluid.
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.
Basic hand-washing may prevent many diseases from being transmitted
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.
Enteric isloation refers to the avoidence of any contact with bodily fluids of a patient due to pathogens or chemotherapy treatment that can be transmitted via these fluids.
