Types of Communicable Diseases
Examples of Communicable Diseases
How Pathogens Spread
1. WATER:
- Drinking or bathing in CONTAMINATED water can lead to diseases like cholera.
2. AIR:
- Airborne pathogens are spread through droplets when someone with an infection COUGHS or SNEEZES.
3. DIRECT CONTACT:
- TOUCHING contaminated surfaces or skin-to-skin contact can transmit diseases such as athlete's foot.
Reducing or Preventing the Spread of Disease:
1. HYGIENE:
- WASHING hands and maintaining cleanliness.
2. DESTROYING VECTORS:
- Eliminating disease-carrying organisms (like insects) by using INSECTICIDES or destroying their HABITAT.
3. ISOLATING INFECTED INDIVIDUALS:
- Keep people with the disease AWAY from the general public to prevent them from spreading to others.
4. VACCINATION:
- Reduces the likelihood of DEVELOPING and PASSING ON the infection.
