Infectious diseases can spread through various means:
Direct Contact: This involves direct touch, such as shaking hands or kissing, or through sexual intercourse. Indirect Contact: This occurs when someone touches a surface that has been contaminated with pathogens, like door handles or shared objects. Airborne Transmission: Some infectious agents can be transmitted through droplets that are expelled when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Vector-Borne Transmission: Diseases can be transmitted by vectors like mosquitoes, ticks, or fleas. Food and Water Contamination: Consuming contaminated food or water can introduce pathogens into the body.
