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 are the major reservoirs of pathogens?

The major reservoirs of pathogens include humans, animals, insects, and the environment. Pathogens can be carried and transmitted by these reservoirs, leading to the spread of diseases. It is important to identify and control these reservoirs to prevent the transmission of pathogens.


How do pathogens work?

Pathogens can spread though direct contact by animal bites or exchange of bodily fluids. They're spread through indirect contact by contact with nonliving surfaces, air, dirty food, and vectors.


Which of the following terms describes the spread of influenza across Europe after the war?

The term that describes the spread of influenza across Europe after the war is "Spanish flu."


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.

Can bloodborne pathogens spread faster in heat?

Bloodborne pathogens do not inherently spread faster in heat; rather, heat can affect the viability of the pathogens outside the body. Higher temperatures may help some pathogens survive for longer periods in certain environments, but transmission is primarily influenced by direct contact with infected bodily fluids. Factors such as the mode of transmission, the presence of an open wound, and the amount of infectious material play a more significant role in the spread of these pathogens than temperature alone.
