Question

match the following modes of transmission.
germs rely on insects to move from host to host
germs spread through a single course such as food. 1. direct
personal contact of a susceptible host with a contaminated inanimate object 2. indirect
large particles that travel up to 3 feet and come in contact with a host 3. droplet
person to person or physical source and susceptible host 4. vehicles

1. vector

Explanation:

• Vector: Vectors are agents (like insects) that carry germs from one host to another.
• Vehicles: A vehicle (such as food) can carry germs and spread them.
• Indirect: Indirect transmission involves contact with a contaminated inanimate object.
• Droplet: Droplet transmission involves large particles that travel a short distance (up to 3 feet) and come into contact with a host.
• Direct: Direct transmission is person - to - person or physical source - to - susceptible host contact.

Answer:

• Germs rely on insects to move from host to host: 5. Vector
• Germs spread through a single course such as food: 4. Vehicles
• Personal contact of a susceptible host with a contaminated inanimate object: 2. Indirect
• Large particles that travel up to 3 feet and come in contact with a host: 3. Droplet
• Person to person or physical source and susceptible host: 1. Direct
