Pathogens can enter the body from body fluids. They can also be transferred by blood via body contact or sharing needles. Pathogens aren't to be messed around with, because they can range from HIV to salmonella to parasites.

What pathogens are spread by objects?

All the pathogens spread by fecal-oral route can be spread by objects. If the person handling the object has 'not' washaed his hands after defecation, he will transfer the germs to object. And if the person receiving the object does not wash his hands with soap and water and eat the food, he will get the infection. Like cholera, typhoid, amebic and bacillary desentry, rotavirus infection, hepatitis A etc.


What are airborne pathogens?

Airborne pathogens are infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi that can be transmitted through the air. They can be spread through respiratory droplets when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or talk, allowing the pathogens to be inhaled by others in close proximity. Examples include tuberculosis, influenza, and COVID-19.
