a) Person-to-person contact: Direct contact with an infected person through physical contact, respiratory droplets, sexual activity, or sharing of personal items such as towels, utensils, etc.
b) Ingesting contaminated food or water: Consuming food or water that is contaminated with disease-causing microorganisms.
c) Inhalation of airborne pathogens: Breathing in respiratory droplets or airborne particles that contain infectious agents.
d) Vector bites: Being bitten by infected insects or animals, such as mosquitoes transmitting malaria or ticks transmitting Lyme disease.
