A fomite is a non-moving object responsible for the indirect transmission of disease.

Fomites are inanimate objects involved in the indirect contact transmission of pathogens. These objects include a whole range of items mostly found in indoor environments.

When pathogens  such as viruses and bacteria come in contact with these objects through various human and animal activities such as sneezing or coughing, use of toilets etc; these pathogens remain active on these objects and can then cause disease when others come in contact with these objects.

<h3>How do fomites transmit infectious agents?</h3>

Some diseases are more likely to be transmitted by pathogens than others. However, several factors can influence whether bacteria on carriers are successfully transferred to humans.

  • type of bacteria or virus on the carrier
  • number of bacteria or viruses leading to infection
  • room temperature
  • room humidity
  • carrier porosity.

Sneezing and coughing can transfer bacteria to surfaces  through  droplets released by the sneeze or cough itself, or by bacteria from a sneeze or cough getting on the hands and coming into contact with a bacterial carrier.

La pata de un pato y la aleta de un pez son en ambos casos son elementos que les permiten tanto al pato como al pez moverse, además de sus funciones de estabilidad. La aleta de una ballena y el brazo del ser humano, sucede lo mismo que en el caso anterior. En el caso de la aleta de la ballena, es como la aleta del pez. En cuanto al brazo del ser humano permite realizar movimientos que contribuyen al desarrollo de sus funciones, como por ejemplo, agarrar distintos elementos. La pelvis reducida de los cetáceos no tiene actualmente ninguna función.

Explanation:

La pata de un pato es una extremidad que por su estructura le permita nadar perfectamente. En cuanto a la aleta de los peces y ballenas, es una parte de estos animales formada por tejido conjuntivo. Pueden tener distintos tamaños y su principal función no sólo es permitir el movimiento sino también la estabilidad. En cuanto a la pelvis reducida de los cetáceos era algo que tenía sentido en especies de antaño. Durante la evolución, su utilidad de fue perdiendo, como podría mencionarse el ejemplo en los humanos de las muelas de juicio.
