Tartunnanväylät
Tartunnanväylät, meaning "infection pathways" in Finnish, refers to the routes by which infectious agents, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, can be transmitted from one host to another, or from an environmental source to a host. Understanding these pathways is crucial for preventing and controlling the spread of infectious diseases.
There are several primary modes of transmission. Direct transmission occurs through physical contact between an infected
Indirect transmission involves an intermediary. Airborne transmission occurs when small droplets or aerosols containing pathogens remain
Preventing tartunnanväylät involves a combination of strategies, including good hygiene practices like handwashing, vaccination, safe food
