Typhoid is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi and is also transmitted via contaminated food and water. Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite and is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. HIV/AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and is transmitted through body fluids (e.g., blood, semen). Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
