Transmission of pathogens from person to person via sneezing,coughing or by the affected individual speaking near (less than 1 meter)a susceptible individual are examples of what mode of transmission

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transmission of pathogens from an infected person to a susceptible person through sneezing, coughing, or speaking near them is an example of contact transmission, where the pathogen is directly transmitted from one person to another through physical contact or close proximity. Vertical transmission is the transmission of pathogens from a mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding; indirect contact transmission involves the transmission of pathogens through contaminated objects or surfaces; and direct fecal-oral transmission is the transmission of pathogens through the ingestion of fecal material containing the pathogen. None of these modes of transmission are applicable to the scenario described.
