The three essential elements required for the spread of infection are a pathogen (such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi), a host (an organism that can be infected), and a mode of transmission (the route through which the pathogen is transferred from one host to another). Without any one of these elements, the cycle of infection cannot continue. Effective infection control measures often target one or more of these components to prevent outbreaks.
