Is disease transmisson through milk consumption or meat consumption considered direct or indirect transmission route?
Direct transmission is through direct contact with the infected person with no intermediary or vector. The Ebola virus and AIDs virus are examples. Indirect would be malaria spread through mosquitos, plague via rats, etc. The common cold spread through droplets in the air could seem indirect, but because of the proximity required, the CDC website lists it under direct. The CDC will provide reliable information for a lot of questions regarding infectious disease.
