How Do Carriers Contribute to Disease Transmission?

Carriers are significant in the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. They can spread pathogens through various means such as:
- Direct Contact: Physical interaction with susceptible individuals.
- Indirect Contact: Contaminating surfaces or objects that others touch.
- Respiratory Droplets: Coughing, sneezing, or talking can expel pathogens into the air.
- Vectors: In some cases, carriers can transmit pathogens through animal or insect vectors.
