During a biology class, chatty Gabby and smiley Luna were discussing how diseases spread in different ways. Luna mentioned that a mosquito is a vector for malaria, and Gabby added that people can be vectors for COVID or the flu. What are the different modes of disease transmission?

• Direct contact, indirect contact, droplet transmission, airborne transmission, fecal-oral transmission, vector-borne transmission, and mother-to-child transmission

• Skin contact, eye contact, ear contact, nose contact

• Direct injection, indirect injection, oral transmission

• Food-borne transmission, water-borne transmission, air-borne transmission

Party animals Esra and Josephine were at a party where they noticed different ways people could catch a cold. Some people got sick after shaking hands with someone who was already ill, while others got sick after touching a doorknob that an infected person had touched. Explain the difference between Direct and Indirect modes of disease transmission.

• Direct transmission occurs through kissing, while indirect transmission occurs through hugging

• Direct transmission occurs through sharing food, while indirect transmission occurs through sharing utensils

• Direct transmission occurs through direct physical contact, while indirect transmission occurs through intermediary objects or organisms.

• Direct transmission occurs through the air, while indirect transmission occurs through water

During a biology class, big boss William and chill Aiden were discussing common pathogens like bacteria, viruses and mold and how they spread. Can you name two common pathogens and describe their modes of transmission?

• Two common pathogens are allergies and autoimmune diseases. Allergies can spread through direct contact and contaminated food and water. Autoimmune diseases can spread through airborne transmission and contaminated surfaces.

• Two common pathogens are fungi and parasites. Fungi can spread through direct contact and contaminated surfaces. Parasites can spread through airborne transmission and contaminated food and water.

• Two common pathogens are bacteria and viruses. Bacteria can spread through direct contact, contaminated food and water, and airborne transmission. Viruses can spread through direct contact, airborne transmission, and contaminated surfaces.

• Two common pathogens are cancer and diabetes. Cancer can spread through direct contact and contaminated surfaces. Diabetes can spread through airborne transmission and contaminated food and water.

When a contagious disease spreads in a community like the one where Sage and Simon live, how does it impact the local area?

• It can cause illness, death, economic strain, and disruption of daily life.

• It has no impact on local communities

• It leads to increased productivity and economic growth

• It only affects the elderly population

Lizzie and Joseph are studying the global patterns of disease transmission and their impact. Discuss how these patterns can vary.

• Global patterns of disease transmission are not impacted by population density or travel patterns

• The Global impact of disease transmission is not influenced by healthcare infrastructure or public health measures

• Disease transmission patterns are the same Globally and do not vary based on any factors

• Global patterns of disease transmission and their impact can vary based on factors such as population density, travel patterns, healthcare infrastructure, and public health measures.

Aysel and Mahjuja are studying how diseases spread in their community and how they are tracked. Explain the concept of epidemiology and its role in disease surveillance.

• Epidemiology is the study of skin diseases

• Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the control of health problems. Its role in disease surveillance is to monitor and analyze the patterns and causes of diseases in a population.

• Epidemiology is the study of astronomy

• Epidemiology is the study of weather patterns

During a biology class, Nidhi and Maheen asked their teacher about the two main modes of disease transmission. What are they?

• acute and chronic transmission

• bodily fluid and fomite transmission

• airborne and waterborne transmission

• direct and indirect transmission

Miley and Dale are discussing how diseases spread through direct and indirect contact. Can you describe the transmission of a viral and bacterial pathogen?

• Through carrier pigeons

• Through direct and indirect contact

• Through telepathy

• Through singing

During a flu outbreak in their town, how might Fnu and Rita observe the impact on their community's social and economic aspects?

• It can lead to social distancing measures, economic downturn, and strain on healthcare systems.

• It leads to increased social interaction and economic growth

• It has no impact on social and economic aspects

• It results in reduced strain on healthcare systems
