How do infections spread?
Infections can spread through direct contact, respiratory droplets, contaminated food or water, and vectors like mosquitoes.
Can vaccines prevent all infectious diseases?
Vaccines are highly effective in preventing many infectious diseases, but not all diseases have vaccines available.
Are antibiotics effective against viral infections?
No, antibiotics only work against bacterial infections. They are ineffective against viruses.
What's the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic?
An epidemic is a widespread outbreak of a disease in a specific community or region, while a pandemic is a global outbreak affecting multiple countries.
How can I protect myself during a disease outbreak?
Practice good hygiene, avoid close contact with sick individuals, follow public health guidelines, and consider vaccinations if available.
Can you get the same infectious disease twice?
It depends on the disease. Some infections confer lifelong immunity, while others may allow reinfection over time.
What's antibiotic resistance?
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve to resist the effects of antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.
How are emerging infectious diseases managed?
Emerging diseases require prompt identification, isolation of cases, contact tracing, and sometimes the development of new treatments or vaccines.
