In medicine, the locus where a pathogen can enter would be any part of the body or surface that is moist. This includes the eyes, the nose and the mouth.

How is Mechanical transmission differ from biological transmission?

Mechanical transmission does not involove any infection of the transmitter. The pathogen does not grow or multiply inside the transmitter and no intermediat developement of the pathogen occurs until it is transmitted to host by the transmitter. Biological transmission does include developement of the pathogen inside the transmitter species.


What is the relationship between a reservoir and a vector in the context of disease transmission?

In the context of disease transmission, a reservoir is a place where a pathogen can live and multiply, such as an animal or environment. A vector is an organism that can carry and transmit the pathogen from the reservoir to a host. The relationship between a reservoir and a vector is that the reservoir provides a source of the pathogen, while the vector helps spread the pathogen to new hosts, contributing to the transmission of the disease.


What do plasmodium infects in the human body before causing the cells to burst?

Infection allows the pathogen to enter human cells. Without infection plasmodium or any other pathogen can not enter the cells.


How does a pathogen enter a new reservoir?

A pathogen can enter a new reservoir through various routes, such as direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated food or water. Once in the new reservoir, the pathogen may adapt to the new host species and establish infection cycles within that population.


Does airborne transmission of a pathogen occur?

By inhaling pathogens from a sick person's sneeze or cough


Jane gets bitten by a mosquito. Through the bite she can become infected with an organism carried by the mosquito. What role did the mosquito play in the chain of transmission portal of entry?

In the chain of transmission, the mosquito acts as a vector, facilitating the transfer of the infectious organism to Jane. The bite serves as the portal of entry, allowing the pathogen to enter her bloodstream. This process highlights the mosquito's role in both transmitting the disease and providing a means for the pathogen to access a new host.


What are three elements required for infection transmission?

Three essential elements required for infection transmission are a pathogen (such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi), a susceptible host (an individual who can become infected), and a mode of transmission (the route by which the pathogen spreads, such as direct contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated surfaces). These elements work together to facilitate the spread of infectious diseases. Without any one of these components, transmission cannot occur.

What 4 elements are required for the spread of infection to occur?

The four elements required for the spread of infection are a pathogen (the infectious agent), a reservoir (the natural habitat where the pathogen lives), a mode of transmission (the way the pathogen is spread, such as direct contact or airborne), and a susceptible host (an individual who can become infected). These elements interact in a cycle, facilitating the transmission of infections. Breaking any link in this chain can help prevent the spread of disease.
