1.Mention 5 route for transmission of diseases
2.five indirect and direct diseases
3.ways of contracting diseases
1. Five routes for transmission of diseases are:
a) Respiratory route: Diseases like influenza, tuberculosis, and COVID-19 can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
b) Oral-fecal route: Diseases like cholera, typhoid fever, and hepatitis A can spread through contaminated food or water.
c) Vector-borne route: Diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus can spread through the bites of infected insects or animals.
d) Bloodborne route: Diseases like HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and Ebola can spread through contact with infected blood or blood products.
e) Sexual route: Diseases like HIV/AIDS, syphilis, and gonorrhea can spread thual contact.
2. Five indirect and direct diseases are:
a) Indirect diseases: These are transmitted indirectly through contamination in the environment or objects. Examples include common cold, influenza, and COVID-19.
b) Direct diseases: These are transmitted directly from one person to another through close contact. Examples include sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV/AIDS.
3. Ways of contracting diseases can vary depending on the type of disease, but some common ways include:
a) Person-to-person contact: Direct contact with an infected person through physical contact, respiratory droplets, sexual activity, or sharing of personal items such as towels, utensils, etc.
b) Ingesting contaminated food or water: Consuming food or water that is contaminated with disease-causing microorganisms.
c) Inhalation of airborne pathogens: Breathing in respiratory droplets or airborne particles that contain infectious agents.
d) Vector bites: Being bitten by infected insects or animals, such as mosquitoes transmitting malaria or ticks transmitting Lyme disease.
e) Contact with contaminated surfaces: Touching surfaces or objects that are contaminated with pathogens and then touching the face, mouth, or eyes, allowing the pathogens to enter the body.
1. Five routes for transmission of diseases are:
a) Airborne transmission: Diseases like the flu or tuberculosis can spread through tiny droplets present in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
b) Waterborne transmission: Diseases such as cholera or giardiasis can be transmitted through contaminated water sources, such as drinking water or swimming in polluted water.
c) Vector-borne transmission: Diseases like malaria or dengue fever are transmitted through the bite of infected insects or animals, such as mosquitoes, ticks, or fleas.
d) Direct contact transmission: Diseases like the common cold or sexually transmitted infections can be transmitted through direct physical contact with an infected person, such as shaking hands or sexual intercourse.
e) Indirect contact transmission: Diseases such as the norovirus or COVID-19 can be transmitted through indirect contact with contaminated surfaces or objects, such as touching a doorknob or using someone else's personal belongings.
2. Five examples of indirect and direct diseases are:
Direct diseases:
a) Flu (influenza): It can be transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets from an infected person.
b) HIV/AIDS: It is mainly transmitted through direct contact with infected blood, semen, l fluids, or breast milk.
c) Chlamydia: This sexually transmitted infection can be transmitted through direct sexual contact with an infected person.
d) Measles: It is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets from an infected person.
e) Ebola: It is transmitted through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs, or other bodily fluids of infected people or animals.
Indirect diseases:
a) COVID-19: It can be transmitted indirectly through respiratory droplets on surfaces or objects and then touching the face.
b) Norovirus: This highly contagious virus is often spread indirectly through contaminated food, water, or surfaces.
c) Hepatitis A: It can be transmitted indirectly through consumption of contaminated food or water.
d) Salmonella: It is often transmitted indirectly through consuming contaminated food or water, particularly raw or undercooked eggs, poultry, or meat.
e) Tuberculosis: It can be transmitted indirectly through inhaling respiratory droplets containing the bacteria released by an infected person.
3. Ways of contracting diseases include:
a) Person-to-person transmission: Diseases can spread through direct contact with an infected person, such as touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse.
b) Airborne transmission: Diseases can spread through the inhalation of airborne particles or respiratory droplets released by an infected person through coughing, sneezing, or talking.
c) Fecal-oral transmission: Diseases can be contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with fecal matter containing the pathogens.
d) Vector-borne transmission: Diseases can be transmitted through the bite of infected insects or animals that carry and transmit the pathogens.
e) Contaminated surfaces or objects: Diseases can be contracted by touching surfaces or objects contaminated with pathogens and then touching the face or mucous membranes.
