Internal Migration: Movement within a country, often from rural to urban areas.
International Migration: Movement between countries, which can introduce diseases to new regions.
Seasonal Migration: Movement based on seasons, such as agricultural workers moving for harvests.
Commuting: Daily movement between home and work, affecting urban disease dynamics.
Tourism: Short-term travel for leisure, which can spread diseases globally.
