Infection in humans may be by parental inoculation, inhalation, or contamination of mucous membranes or broken skin with infectious tissues or fluids from infected animals as may occur with bites. Airborne transmission is well documented. In human LCMV infections associated with infected pet hamsters...
that Hunter himself was the subject, there is no contemporaneous evidence to support this theory, and it appears more likely that Hunter experimented on another individual—especially since it was known that he had attempted to transmit gonorrhoea to others via inoculation of the skin (Dempster 1978...

‘Vector-borne transmission’ involves the bites of arthropod vectors (e.g., mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies). ‘Iatrogenic transmission’ involves health care procedures, materials, and workers (e.g., physicians, nurses, dentists, and veterinarians). ‘Nosocomial transmission’ pertains to infecti...
