Diseases can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or animal, such as shaking hands or sexual contact. Contaminated food and water can also spread diseases when consumed, as they may contain harmful bacteria or viruses. Vectors, such as mosquitoes or ticks, can transmit diseases by biting and transferring pathogens from one host to another.
