Effective control measures vary depending on the mode of transmission:
Hygiene practices: Regular handwashing and sanitization can prevent direct and fomite transmission. Vector control: Using insect repellents, bed nets, and environmental management to reduce vector populations. Vaccination: Immunization can create herd immunity, reducing the likelihood of disease spread. Quarantine and isolation: Separating infected individuals to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Using masks, gloves, and other protective gear to prevent exposure to infectious agents.
