How Are Bodily Fluids Involved in Disease Transmission?
Bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, and urine can be vectors for disease transmission. Bloodborne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis B and C are transmitted through contact with infected blood. Saliva can transmit diseases like mononucleosis, while urine can carry pathogens responsible for diseases like leptospirosis. Proper handling and disposal of bodily fluids are essential to prevent the spread of these infections.
