transmission routes
How diseases travel
Transmission routes are the pathways by which infectious agents travel from one host to another.
In epidemiology and medicine, these routes include direct contact, airborne spread, contaminated food or water, sexual transmission, and vector-borne transmission through insects like mosquitoes.
Understanding transmission routes is essential for disease prevention and control measures.
The virus has multiple transmission routes, including respiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces.
