About this document
Disease Transmission Cycle Explained by Reeycha Shrestha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the six components of the disease transmission cycle, also known as the chain of infection. These six components are: (1) the infectious agent, (2) the reservoir or source of the agent, (3) the portal of exit from the reservoir, (4) the mode of transmission, (5) the portal of entry into a new host, and (6) the susceptible host. Understanding this cycle can help prevent and treat infectious diseases by breaking the chain of transmission.
