What else can I help you with?
Transmission of a communicable disease by a vector is an example of?
indirect contact
What is the difference between a pathogen and a contagion?
A pathogen causes a disease while a contagion spreads a disease by direct or indirect contact.
What is the definition for viral contagion?
An infectious disease resulting from direct or indirect contact between individuals or animals.
What are the differences between parkinson's and alzhiemer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease affects memory while Parkinson's disease affects movement.
Explain the different means of spread of disease?
The infectious diseases can spread through air, indirect or direct contact and through body fluids like urine and saliva.
What are the examples of direct and indirect disease?
Direct disease transmission occurs when an infectious agent is transmitted directly from an infected individual to a susceptible host, such as through physical contact, respiratory droplets, or sexual contact. Examples include the flu, where the virus spreads through respiratory droplets, and HIV, transmitted through bodily fluids. Indirect disease transmission involves intermediary agents, such as vectors or surfaces. For instance, malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites, and norovirus can spread via contaminated surfaces or food.
A cold transmitted by a facial tissue is an example of?
indirect transmission of disease through fomites. In this case, the facial tissue acts as a fomite, which is an inanimate object that can carry and transmit infectious agents.
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 are two ways a disease can spread?
Direct Contact and Indirect Contact
A disease is transmitted from one person to another either by direct or indirect contact is?
A disease that is transmitted from one person to another through direct or indirect contact is known as a contagious disease. Direct contact involves physical interaction between individuals, such as touching or kissing, while indirect contact can occur through contaminated surfaces, objects, or airborne particles. Examples include influenza, the common cold, and COVID-19. Proper hygiene practices and vaccination can help prevent the spread of these diseases.
What are the differences between infectious and non-infectious diseases?
An "infectious disease" an agent that can be passed from one living organism to another. A non-infectious disease is a disease or other condition that cannot be spread to another organism.
What is the cycle that kept this disease going?
cycle of disease transmission
