Communicable diseases may be transmitted from the source of infection to susceptible individuals. Entry of the microorganism through the skin is a direct method of disease transmission. The microorganisms are introduced directly into the skin during the infection of diseases such as rabies and hepatitis. In rabies, the microorganisms are introduced into the body by a dog bite and hepatitis B virus is inoculated into the body through contaminated needles and syringes.
