    Factors that affect how a pathogen is spread from person to person are of two categories namely those that are dependent on the pathogen itself and those that are dependent on the person.

    Factors dependent on the pathogen itself include mode of transmission the pathogen uses to infect a new host. The mode of transmission may be airborne such as the flu virus, oral such as salmonella which causes typhoid, and by physical contact such as the Ebola virus.

    Factors dependent on people include poor hygiene, congested living quarters, lack of proper sanitation, poor diet, ignorance, non - adherence to antibiotics and lack of vaccination. All these factors affect how a pathogens are spread.
