Airborne, Vector Borne & Contact Infectious Diseases

An airborne disease is caused by pathogens and transferred through the air. These diseases are spread when droplets of pathogens are expelled into the air due to sneezing, coughing or talking. Many of the infections can spread by airborne transmission are influenza, tuberculosis, small pox. Vectors are organisms that transfer parasites and pathogens from one infected person to another, causing serious diseases in human populations. These diseases are regularly found in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Vector-borne diseases are chikungunya, denguemalaria etc. Contact infectious diseases are of two types: direct and indirect. Direct contact transmission arises when there is physical contact between susceptible person and an infected person. Indirect contact transmission arises when there is no direct human-to-human contact.
