Infectious agents can be transmitted through various routes. Some common methods include:
Direct contact: Physical interaction with an infected individual, such as touching or sexual contact. Indirect contact: Contact with contaminated surfaces, objects, or vectors like mosquitoes. Airborne transmission: Inhalation of infectious particles that are suspended in the air. Vector-borne transmission: Carriers such as mosquitoes or ticks that transmit the infectious agent from one host to another. Waterborne transmission: Ingestion of contaminated water. Foodborne transmission: Ingestion of contaminated food.
