Anthroponosis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The anthroponosis ( Greek .: ANTHROPOS , People '; nosos =' disease ') is a collective term for infectious diseases with pathogens, whose only natural host is man. The reservoir of these pathogens is therefore always the sick or asymptomatically colonized person (e.g. permanent excretor ).

Transmission routes

The transmission occurs through droplet infection , skin and mucous membrane contact, fecal-oral, via vectors or objects (door handle), sexually (genital, oral or anal mucous membrane contact) or diaplacentally .
