Study Notes
- Cytomegalovirus can be introduced during organ transplantation.
- Droplet spread is usually limited to a distance of 30-60 cm between source and host.
- Diseases transmitted by droplet spread include only respiratory infections.
- Dust plays a key role in the indirect transmission of infections.
- Vertical transmission does not involve the direct contact between individuals for the transmission of disease agents.
Types of Transmission
- Organ transplantation can result in the introduction of disease agents like cytomegalovirus.
- Common distance for droplet spread in infectious diseases is 30-60 cm.
- "Fruits" is NOT included in the traditional 5 F's of indirect transmission; the traditional 5 Fs are Flies, Fingers, Fomites, Food and water.
- Syphilis is an example of a disease transmitted through vertical transmission.
- Vehicle-borne transmission involves the infectious agent being transmitted through water, food, or biological products.
- Dust can harbor infectious agents in the context of indirect disease transmission.
- A characteristic of the infectious agent for indirect transmission is that it must be able to survive outside the host.
- Tuberculosis is transmitted by droplet spread.
- Inoculation is the primary method of vector-borne transmission.
- Food poisoning is an example of a vehicle-borne transmission.
