Improved Sanitation
The discovery that germs caused disease led to advancements in hygiene practices, such as handwashing and sterilization of medical equipment, ultimately reducing the spread of infectious diseases. It also paved the way for the development of antibiotics and vaccines to combat specific diseases caused by germs.

Scabies is caused by a mite, while Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted through tick bites. There is no direct link between scabies and Lyme disease, as they are caused by different organisms and have distinct modes of transmission.
No. Bells Palsy is not a directly communicable disease. It may be caused by a virus, but the effect is not direct.
One human disease caused by an RNA virus is influenza, which is transmitted through respiratory droplets. One human disease caused by a DNA virus is herpes, which is usually transmitted through direct contact with infected lesions or through sexual contact.
It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect exchange of saliva, hence the nickname "kissing disease."
A disease common among hat makers in the seventeenth century was caused by their direct contact with mercury, which was used in the process of felting wool to make hats. Prolonged exposure to mercury vapors led to neurological symptoms known as "mad hatter's disease," characterized by tremors, cognitive decline, and mood changes. This occupational hazard highlighted the dangers of toxic substances in industrial processes of the time.
It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect exchange of saliva, hence the nickname "kissing disease."
Direct transmission of disease is by the direct contact of a diseased person,whereas indirect transmission occurs without the direct contact. For example ;by using anything of diseased person.
Koch developed the Koch Postulates, which, if proven, demonstrate that a given microbe causes a disease. (see related link). Girolamo Fracastoro proposed epidemic diseases are caused by transferable seed-like entities that transmit infection by direct or indirect contact. Agostino Bassi was the first person to prove that a disease was caused by a microorganism.
A disease that originates outside the body is an infectious disease caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites. These pathogens can enter the body through various routes such as air, water, food, or direct contact with an infected person.
Since addison's disease has no direct cause, it cannot be prevented.
