Answer 1

17.Direct contact

This refers to getting infected by coming in direct contact with the body fluids

Eg., A person having sexual relationship with an infected person like HIV ,STD,etc.,

18.Airborne transmission 1

This are direct contamination of the air with the pathogens and inhaling it

Eg., A person inhaling in a room where a tuberculosis patient is admitted.The infection can easily spread via the air

19.Airborne transmission 2

Eg.,The person inhaling a aerosolized air with the pathogens like bacteria ,virus ,fungi,etc., (pertussis)

20,Vector

These occurs because of bites from the mosquito, candles, etc., transmitting the bacteria,fungi and virus

Eg., A child getting malaria after bitten by a female anopheles mosquito

21.Oral ingestion

Infection got dir to consuming I fected food

Eg., Typhoid caused due to poor unhygienic eating habits ,foods ,etc.,
