Influenza, measles and mumps are .................. borne infections.
Answer: A
Influenza, measles and mumps are air-borne infections.
All three are viral diseases spread by droplets and aerosols released when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks, and inhaled by others nearby. That is why they spread fastest in crowded indoor places and why measles, in particular, is highly contagious.
Water-borne infections include cholera, typhoid and hepatitis A; food-borne ones include food poisoning by salmonella; and soil-borne ones include tetanus and hookworm. None of these routes is the main one for influenza, measles or mumps.
