Answer 1

Ans) 1) Airborne diseases are caused by pathogenic microbes small enough to be discharged from an infected person via coughing, sneezing, laughing and close personal contact or aerosolization of the microbe. The discharged microbes remain suspended in the air on dust particles, respiratory and water droplets.

- Seasonality has moved from the centre ground of early infectious disease epidemiology to the periphery; a distraction often ignored or assumed of minor importance. This is surprising, given its prevalence of occurrence, significance for many key epidemiological parameters and intense interest from the non-specialist, as to why ‘colds’ occur in the winter when it is cold. Perhaps the greatest obstacle to progress has been the absence of sufficient comparative data with which to test hypotheses about causation and examine the dynamic consequences of seasonality. This is another reason for the improvement and expansion of routine surveillance of infectious diseases.

2) Mold spores thrive in environments that are moist and warm, so when they land on a damp spot, they begin to grow. Molds can grow on a variety of different surfaces, including fabric, paper, wood, glass, and plastic. As they grow, they may digest the material they are growing on.
