How does droplet infection transmit a disease?


Open in App
Solution

1.Droplet infection is the infection which is transmitted by the oral discharge during coughing and sneezing. It is a direct method of infection where the pathogens are easily transmitted from the carrier to the healthy host.

2.When an infected person coughs or sneezes, germs are released in the air, along with saliva and mucous droplets. When a healthy person inhales this air he /she gets infected, this is the way droplet infection transmits a disease.
