How do Viral Infections Spread?

The transmission of viral infections can occur in multiple ways:
Direct Contact: This involves physical contact with an infected person, such as through touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse.
Droplet Transmission: Viruses can be spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Airborne Transmission: Some viruses, like measles, can remain suspended in the air and infect individuals who breathe in the contaminated air.
Vector-borne Transmission: Infections can be spread by insects such as mosquitoes and ticks.
Fomite Transmission: Viruses can survive on surfaces and objects, leading to infections when individuals touch these contaminated surfaces and then their face.
