Modes of infectious disease transmission

 Modes of infectious disease transmission

An infectious agent may be transmitted from its natural reservoir to a susceptible host in different ways.

There are different classifications for modes of transmission. 

Here is one classification:

A.   General transmission

B.   Human-to-human transmission:

• Direct
  • Direct contact
  • Droplet spread
• Indirect
  • Airborne
  • Vehicleborne
