Question

Indirect transmission of the disease is---------
(a)Contagious
(b)Non-contagious
(c)Both A and B
(d)None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Transmission by air, vehicles such as food, water, fomites, and vectors such as mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks involves the indirect transmission of disease. Non-communicable disease requires indirect disease transmission.

Complete answer:
The propagation of illness from host to host by means of a vector is the indirect transmission. It has been said that it is non-contagious.
Indirect transmission refers to the movement, through suspended air particles, inanimate objects (vehicles), or animate intermediaries (vectors), of an infectious agent from a reservoir to a host.
By comparison, non-contagious infections typically involve a special mode of transmission between individuals or hosts. This includes the need for intermediate vector species (malaria-carrying mosquitoes) or the need for non-causal bodily fluid transfer (such as transfusions, needle sharing, or sexual contact).

Additional Information: The infectious (contagious) disease is a category of transmissible disease that is spread to other individuals, either by physical contact with the person suffering from the disease or through casual contact with the individual, among other routes, with their secretions or by objects affected by them, or by air. Contagiousness differs across diseases. It may be known that disease is infectious, but its causative variables remain undetermined. If the incubation time is long, contagion can be more infectious.
So, the correct answer is, ‘Non-contagious’.

Note: When an infected individual sneezes or coughs, indirect contact infections propagate, releasing infectious droplets into the air. They risk getting sick if the infectious droplets are inhaled by healthy people or if the contaminated droplets fall directly through their eyes, nose, or mouth. Droplets usually fly between three and six feet and land on surfaces or items like tables, doorknobs, and telephones. Healthy people use their hands to touch infected items and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.
