How pathogens enter the body by droplet infection?
Most pathogens enter and leave the body through the digestive or respiratory tracts. Polio, dysentery, and typhoid are examples of diseases contracted by ingestion of contaminated foods or fluids. Organisms present in the saliva or nasal mucus are spread by airborne or droplet infection; fine droplets or dried particles are inhaled by others when the affected individual talks, coughs, or sneezes. Diseases such as measles, mumps, and tuberculosis are passed on in this way.

What disease is carried in the air?
AIR-BORNE DISEASES Infectious disease spread by droplet infection have long been one of the most deadly branches of disease. 'It has been calculated that about half of all episodes of human illness are caused by respiratory viruses. Most of these are of course quite trivial infections like the most frequent of them all, the common cold.' 1 In England and Wales in 1850, infectious diseases 'were responsible for some 60 per cent of all deaths, air-borne diseases being about twice as significant as water and food-borne.' 2 '"Droplet infection" continues as 'by far the commonest and most important in civilized countries'. 3 Add to colds and 'flu 'the fact that most of the generalized infections of childhood such as measles, chickenpox, mumps and rubella are also spread by the respiratory route and it becomes clear that, in advanced countries, droplet infection is much the most important route by which infectious diseases spread.
