Why it is important to prevent and control the transmission of disease?
Infection control practices are critical to reduce the transmission of infections from one person to another, such as from a healthcare worker to a patient or vice versa. See: Everyday healthy habits that prevent the spread of disease. Infection control practices for health care settings and long-term care facilities.
What affects disease transmission?
Water, sanitation, food and air quality are vital elements in the transmission of communicable diseases and in the spread of diseases prone to cause epidemics. A number of environmental factors influence the spread of communicable diseases that are prone to cause epidemics.
What is required for disease transmission?
Three things are necessary for an infection to occur: Source: Places where infectious agents (germs) live (e.g., sinks, surfaces, human skin) Susceptible Person with a way for germs to enter the body. Transmission: a way germs are moved to the susceptible persont.
Why is it important to address health issues?
Reducing excess mortality, morbidity and disability, especially in poor and marginalized populations. Promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing factors of risk to human health that arise from environmental, economic, social and behavioural causes.
Why is it important to know about diseases?
Why it matters
It's particularly important to recognize those diseases that we know can be prevented, slowed, or even reversed with preventive care, changes in diet, exercise, or medications. Good examples include many cases of diabetes and heart disease.
What are the five means of transmission of infection?
The transmission of microorganisms can be divided into the following five main routes: direct contact, fomites, aerosol (airborne), oral (ingestion), and vectorborne.
What are infectious diseases the spread of infectious diseases is widely discussed?
Infectious diseases are diseases caused by living organisms like viruses and bacteria. Described as contagious, they can be passed from person to person through body secretions, insects or other means. Examples are SARS, influenza, the common cold, tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis A and B.
Why is infection control important to health care workers?
Infection control prevents or stops the spread of infections in healthcare settings. This site includes an overview of how infections spread, ways to prevent the spread of infections, and more detailed recommendations by type of healthcare setting.

Infectious diseases are commonly transmitted through direct person-to-person contact. Transmission occurs when an infected person touches or exchanges body fluids with someone else. This can happen before an infected person is aware of the illness. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be transmitted this way.
What are three important infections that are transmitted by the contact route?

What are the 3 elements required for infection transmission?
Transmission of infectious agents within a healthcare setting requires three elements: a source (or reservoir) of infectious agents, a susceptible host with a portal of entry receptive to the agent, and a mode of transmission for the agent.
