Mode of Transmission of Communicable
Diseases - Direct Transmission
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
A communicable disease is one that spreads from
one person or animal to another or from a surface
to a person. They are the result of pathogens,
such as viruses and bacteria.
Communicable disease is one in which the
causative organism or pathogen is carried from
one person to another either directly or indirectly.
Communicable diseases are also called as
Infectious Disease.

INCUBATION PERIOD : Time interval between initial
contact with an infectious agent and appearance of the
first sign or symptom of disease in question.
COMMUNICABLE PERIOD : Period of communicability is
the time during which an infectious agent may be
transferred directly or indirectly from an infected
person to another person, from an infected animal to
humans, or from an infected person to animals. Also
known as the ‘infectious period’.
Controlled by-
a. Improvement of Personal Hygiene
b. Improvement of Social Hygiene
c. Awareness about Health
d. Awareness about Disease
LATENT PERIOD : The period between exposure
and the onset of the period of
communicability, which may be shorter or
longer than incubation period.
SUSCEPTIBILITY : The state of being susceptible
(easily affected / infected). A susceptible
person does not possess sufficient resistance
against a particular pathogen to prevent
contracting that infection or disease when
exposed to the pathogen.
TYPES OF COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES
1. Respiratory Infections
2. Intestinal Infections
3. Arthropod Borne Infections
4. Surface Infections
5. Sexually Transmitted Disease
TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE
Transmission is the process
by which a pathogen spreads
from one host to another.
Diseases or infections are
transmitted in many ways. It
may be directly transmitted
from one person to another, or
by certain bacteria, viruses,
protozoa, or fungi. There are
two different modes of
transmission of diseases:
1- DIRECT TRANSMISSION
2- INDIRECT TRANSMISSION
MODE OF TRANSMISSION
DIRECT TRANSMISSION
1. Direct contact
2. Droplet infection
3. Contact with soil
4. Inoculation into skin and
mucosa
5. Trans-placental (vertical)
INDIRECT TRANSMISSION
1. Vector borne
2. Vehicle borne
3. Air born
4. Fomite borne
5. Unclean hands and fingers
DIRECT TRANSMISSION OF
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
Direct Transmission– This occurs
when the pathogen is transmitted
directly from an infected
person. For eg., if an open
wound comes in contact with the
blood of a Hepatitis B infected
patient, the wounded person
might contract the disease.
DIRECT CONTACT
Infection may be transmitted directly from skin to skin,
mucosa to mucosa, mucosa to skin of others or same
person.
Example: skin-to-skin contact as by touching, kissing or
sexual intercourse.
- STD and AIDS, leprosy, leptospirosis, skin and eye
infections.
DROPLET TRANSMISSION
This is direct projection of a spray of droplets of
salaiva and nasopharyngeal secretions (airborne
droplets of saliva or sputum) containing infectious
organisms. The spray of droplets during coughing and
sneezing can spread an infectious disease.
•Example- COVID-19, Tuberculosis, Influenza,The
common cold
CONTACT WITH SOIL
The disease agent may be acquired by
direct exposure of susceptible tissue
to the disease agent in soil, compost
or decaying vegetable matter.
Examples: hookworm larvae, tetanus,
mycosis etc
INOCULATION INTO SKIN OR MUCOSA
The disease agent may be inoculated
directly into the skin or mucosa Eg. - Rabies
virus by dog bite, Hep. B virus through
contaminated needles and syringes etc.
VERTICAL TRANSMISSION
Vertical transmission refers to the
transmission of an infectious agent from
a mother to their offspring through the
placenta, breast milk, or genital tract
during delivery. This mode of
transmission can occur during pregnancy,
birth, or breastfeeding, and can result
in a wide range of outcomes depending on
the pathogen involved and the timing and
severity of the infection. It can occur
with a variety of pathogens, including
bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
TYPES OF VERTICAL
TRANSMISSION
Transplacental transmission: In this type of vertical transmission, the
pathogen crosses the placenta and infects the fetus directly.
Perinatal transmission: Perinatal transmission occurs during childbirth
when the infant comes into contact with infected maternal fluids.
Breast milk transmission: Certain infections, such as HIV, can be
transmitted through breast milk from mother to child.
Intrauterine transmission: Intrauterine transmission occurs when the
pathogen infects the fetus before birth, usually through the amniotic fluid
HIV/AIDS, Syphilis,Hepatitis B ,Herpes, zika

CONCLUSION
Direct transmission is a common mode of spread for communicable diseases.
Understanding the modes of transmission and implementing appropriate
preventive measures are crucial for controlling outbreaks and protecting
public health.
