10. Dear Naomi,
Naomi, I received your text message
about the Factors that Influence
Disease Transmission. Anyway, thank
you for this opportunity to share to you
what I learned in my medical training.
11. 1) Environmental Factors. Sanitation
and sanitation facilities can affect the
transmission of diseases where food
and water can become contaminated
because of poor sanitation. Pollution
also plays a major role in disease
transmission as evidenced by floods
during the rainy season.
12. These floods were the culprits in the
spread of leptospirosis. Climate takes
its role as an environmental factor. In
our country we only have the dry and
wet seasons where various
microorganisms can cause morbidity in
each season.
13. 2) Socio-economic Factors. Cultural
practices influence disease
transmission. For instance, there are
some places in the Cordilleras where
people drink wine after a tiring day of
planting and when drinking, they use
one glass to show unity.
14. I also experienced similar practice
observed by the Ilocanos and that is
washing the hands in one basin before
eating. Another way of transmitting
disease is through living arrangements
where a group of people live near their
livestock. Considering these factors,
15. I hope you can them with your family
and friends so they can avoid getting
these diseases.
Have a nice day.
