Significance of Disease transmission
Disease transmission, as understood in Ayurveda and Science, encompasses various processes through which diseases spread. Ayurveda emphasizes both divine and natural means, while Science focuses on factors like contaminated objects, vector interactions (e.g., mosquitoes), and environmental influences. Key elements include direct and indirect contacts, airborne properties, risks from biomedical waste, and specific concerns such as the transmission of viral infections during procedures like allografts. Notably, vectors like Aedes aegypti play a crucial role in the spread of infectious diseases.

Hindu concept of 'Disease transmission'
Disease transmission in Hinduism encompasses the belief in both divine and natural mechanisms through which diseases may spread, reflecting spiritual and earthly factors influencing health and illness within the cultural context.
From: Sushruta Samhita, volume 1: Sutrasthana
(1) The processes and conditions under which diseases are believed to be transmitted, whether through divine or natural means.[1]
The concept of Disease transmission in scientific sources
Disease transmission involves the spread of diseases from host to host, focusing on airborne methods and vector-borne transmission, such as through mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti, which poses significant health risks.
From: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research
(1) The process through which infectious diseases spread, influenced by environmental factors and vector behaviors as altered by climate change.[2] (2) The spread of disease, which, in the case of Ebola, occurs primarily through direct contact with infectious body fluids.[3] (3) The spread of diseases caused by pathogen interactions between vectors like mosquitoes and human populations.[4] (4) The spread of diseases through contact with contaminated objects, including currency notes and coins.[5] (5) The spread of diseases from one host to another, significantly through vector organisms like mosquitoes.[6]
From: International Ayurvedic Medical Journal
(1) The process by which mosquitoes, like Aedes aegypti, spread diseases to humans, a key concern addressed in the study.[7] (2) The process through which diseases spread from one host to another, specifically emphasizing airborne properties.[8]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) The mechanism by which infectious diseases are spread, in this case, measles typically transmitted through respiratory droplets from an infected person.[9] (2) The mechanisms by which viruses are spread among populations, crucial in controlling outbreaks.[10]
From: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology
(1) Potential risks associated with allografts, particularly regarding the transfer of viral infections like HIV during grafting.[11]
