Interrupting transmission pathways is essential for disease control and prevention:
- Hygiene practices: Regular handwashing, sanitizing surfaces, and proper food handling can reduce indirect contact and vehicle transmission. - Vaccination: Immunization can prevent diseases transmitted through various pathways, such as measles (airborne) and hepatitis B (direct contact). - Vector control: Using insecticides, bed nets, and removing standing water can reduce vector-borne transmission. - Isolation and quarantine: Separating infected individuals can prevent direct and droplet transmission.
