Transmitted

Transmitted refers to the process of sending or conveying something from one place or person to another. It is a term widely used in various fields such as medicine, communications, physics, and biology.

Medicine

In medicine, transmission refers to the process by which diseases or infections are spread from one individual to another. This can occur through various modes such as direct contact, airborne transmission, vector-borne transmission, and fomite transmission.

Direct Contact

Direct contact transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Diseases transmitted through direct contact include HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and herpes.

Airborne Transmission

Airborne transmission involves the spread of pathogens through the air over distances greater than one meter. Diseases that can be transmitted through the air include tuberculosis, measles, and influenza.

Vector-Borne Transmission

Vector-borne transmission occurs when an infectious disease is transmitted between humans (or from animals to humans) by a vector, usually an insect. Examples of vector-borne diseases include malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus.

Fomite Transmission

Fomite transmission refers to the transmission of infectious diseases by objects or materials which are likely to carry infection. These objects are known as fomites and can include clothing, utensils, and furniture.

Communications

In the field of communications, transmission refers to the process of sending and propagating an analogue or digital information signal over a physical point-to-point or point-to-multipoint transmission medium. This can be either wired, optical fiber or wireless.

Physics

In physics, transmission involves the passage of waves through a medium. This includes the transmission of light, sound, and electromagnetic waves.

Biology

In biology, transmission can refer to the transfer of genetic material from parent to offspring. This is known as genetic transmission.
