INFECTION source and mode of transmission

INFECTION*

INTRODUCTION 
infection is the inversion of microorganism in human body  or body tissue by disease  causing agents such as bacteria, virus , fungi etc. they are enter in human body and growth and multiplication. microorganism responsible for communicable disease or transmissible disease, illness resulting from an infection         


DEFINITION OF INFECTION -
 Infection is define entry of microorganisms in humans and animals body and growth and multiplication  of infectious  agents. microorganisms attack is human body and cause a diseases .
     Microorganisms 
             
 Enter in Human Body.

         Disease .

SOURCE OF INFECTION

(1) Man.
(2) Animals.
(3) Air.
(4) water.
(5) Food.
(6) Soil. 
(7) Insects .
(8) Mother To Unborn Child.
(9) Fomites.

(1) MAN - A common way for infection disease to speard   is through the direct transfer of microorganisms or other agents from one person to another person . This can occur when an individual with the bacterium or virus, touches, kisses or coughs, sizing  the human is a common source of infection for man to man.

(2) ANIMALS - Animals are very common source to transfer infection in human body mostly animals infected by microorganisms. animals infected by scrub disease when man touch animal like pet  animals dog and monkey etc. pet animal are common source of infection

(3) AIR - Mostly communicable disease are caused by air  such as tuberculosis can spread by coughing or sneezing Cough or sneezing  can release million of microbes into the air in droplets of mucus or saliva.

(4) WATER -  Contaminated water as a source of infection if you drink contaminated water and through the water  microorganism enter in your mouth . Stomach oral cavity and digestive tract water may at as the source  of infection  due to  contamination with pathogenic microorganisms.

 (5) FOOD -   Contaminated  food  a source  of  infection  presence of pathogens in food  may be due to causes of infection in digestive system . Example food  poising by salmonella and staphylococci.

(6) SOIL- Soil may a common source of infection parasites , round  worms and hook worms are present in soil contaminated soil present in environment and microorganisms present in soil. They are the causes of infection.

(7) INSECTS - Disease caused by insects are called orthopod born disease , insects like mosquitoes that transfer infection called vectors. Example  Mosquito caused malaria .

(8) MOTHER OF UNBORN CHILD - A pregnant woman may pass microorganisms that cause infectious to unborn baby. Some microorganisms can be pass through placenta and microorganisms in vagina can be transmitted to the during birth .

(9) FOMITES - This is non living object such as towels , toys, bed sheets etc. that can carry microorganism. and cause disease one person to another person
