Infective agents can be transferred to people through inhalation, absorption or injection. Infections are often spread through droplet transmission as found in a sneeze. They are also transferred through touch as germs are plentiful on the skin. Injection or medical procedures can also spread disease.

Explain how infective agents can be transmitted to a person?
Infective agents can be transmitted to a person through various routes, including direct contact with an infected individual, such as through skin-to-skin contact or respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. They can also spread indirectly via contaminated surfaces or objects, known as fomites, when a person touches these surfaces and then their face. Additionally, some agents are transmitted through vectors like insects, or through contaminated food and water, leading to infection. Lastly, sexual contact can also serve as a mode of transmission for certain pathogens.
How can infective agents be transmitted to people?
Infective agents can be transmitted to people through various routes, including direct contact with infected individuals, airborne transmission via respiratory droplets, and vector-borne spread through insects like mosquitoes. They can also be transmitted through contaminated food and water, as well as through surfaces or objects that harbor pathogens. Additionally, sexual contact and blood transfusions are other potential means of transmission. Understanding these pathways is crucial for preventing the spread of infections.
Is saliva clean?

How is dengue fever transmitted?
Denegue is transmitted from person to person via the female Aedes mosquitoes. Mosquitoes acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. Once infective a mosquito is capable of transmitting the virus to for the rest of its life, during probing and blood feeding. Infected female mosquitoes may also transmit the virus to the next generation of mosquitoes.
