Up until a 1962 demonstration of tuberculosis airborne transmission, airborne transmission of all major respiratory diseases was assumed to be of insignificant or moderate consequence over the following fifty years.
Before COVID-19, only a small number of diseases—those that were blatantly spread to people not in the same room—were generally acknowledged as airborne. This is because the contact/droplet paradigm remained popular.
<h3>What does the term "airborne transmission" mean?</h3>
The term "airborne transmission" refers to the propagation of droplet nuclei (aerosols) that retain their infectious properties after being suspended in air for a lengthy period of time and over great distances.
Bacteria or viruses that cause airborne infections are most frequently spread by tiny respiratory droplets. When a person with the airborne sickness sneezes, coughs, laughs, or exhales in any other way, these droplets are released.
Organisms of the same species must live in similar climates, while organisms of the same population can live in different ecosystems with different climates.
All organisms are made up of the four nucleotide bases of the DNA. Yet still all organisms are different from one another due to the sequence of the arrangement of these nucleotides. The pattern of arrangement of the nucleotides determines which organisms will be more similar and which will be more different from one another. The pattern of arrangement leads to the formation of genetic code which will differ in organisms. Hence, all organisms are made of the 4 nucleotides but differ due to the pattern of arrangement of the nucleotides.
