What is Direct Transmission?
Direct transmission refers to the spread of infectious agents through direct contact between individuals. This can occur via several mechanisms:
1.
Person-to-person contact
: Diseases such as
influenza
and
COVID-19
can spread through droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
2.
Physical contact
: Direct physical interaction, such as touching, kissing, or sexual contact, can transmit diseases like
HIV
and
herpes
.
3.
Vertical transmission
: This occurs from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, as seen in
congenital syphilis
and
HIV
.
