Infectious diseases are diseases that occur through various microorganisms:
bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. They can be transmitted from person to person,
from animal to person, or through contaminated food, water, and air. Prevention of
such diseases is one of the most important factors in ensuring public health.
The main types of infectious diseases
1. Air-droplet transmission (flu, measles, COVID-19)
2. Those transmitted through the digestive tract (intestinal infections,
dysentery, hepatitis A)
3. Blood-borne (VICH, hepatitis B and C)
4. Contact-mediated infections (skin infections, fungal diseases)
5. Animal transmission (rabies, echinococcosis)
Preventive measures
1. Compliance with general sanitary and hygienic rules

adults

Conclusion
Prevention of infectious diseases is a guarantee of a healthy society. The fact
that every citizen follows hygiene, gets vaccinated, leads a healthy lifestyle prevents
the spread of diseases. Medical personnel, on the other hand, should always be active
as the main support in this process.
