Question

Transmission of diseases can be ________

• A. Coordinated
• B. Both C and D
• C. Direct
• D. Indirect

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Both C and D

The disease can be transmitted directly or indirectly depending on the surrounding factors.

Direct transmission - An infectious agent is transferred from a source to a host by direct contact or droplet spread.

Indirect transmission - It occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. This mode of transmission needs a vector to transmit the disease.

Example -

Indirect: - Air, Water, Soil, etc.

Direct: - Handshake, Sexual contact, etc.

Therefore, (b) is the correct answer.
