AIRBORNE DROPLET INFECTIONS: TRANSMISSION AND CURRENT RELEVANCE

Аннотация

Airborne infectious diseases, transmitted through aerosols and respiratory droplets, continue to pose significant global health challenges. Diseases such as measles, COVID-19, and influenza have demonstrated high transmissibility, leading to outbreaks even in regions with established vaccination programs. Recent data indicate a resurgence of measles cases in various parts of the world, attributed to declining vaccination rates and increased international travel. This article examines the current prevalence, transmission dynamics, and public health implications of airborne infectious diseases, emphasizing the need for sustained surveillance, vaccination efforts, and publichealth interventions. Keywords: Airborne diseases, measles, COVID-19, influenza, vaccination, public health, transmissiondynamics.
