Understanding Intestinal Infections

Intestinal infections are characterized by pathogens located in the intestine and transmitted via the fecal-oral route when microbes from feces contaminate food or water. They typically occur more during warm seasons due to environmental factors enabling transmission. Controlling intestinal infections involves sanitary measures to prevent transmission through food, water, insects, or soiled hands, as well as detecting and removing infected individuals from places serving food.

Intestinal infection are characterized by the faecal-oral mechanism

of transmission

Intestinal infection

Are characterized by location of the causative agents in the Intestine and their
distribution in the environment with exrements.

If the causative agents circulates in the blood (Typhoid fever, eptospirosis, Virus
hepatitis) it can also be withdrown throug various organs of the body (the kidneys,
Lungs, the mammary gland)

A microbe released into environment with faeces, urine, vomiting, it can cause
disease in a person only after ingestion healthy with food or water.

Maximum incidence of Intestinal infection occurs usually during the warm


seasons

Control of Intestinal infection are sanitary measures

That present possible transmission of the pathogenic microorganisms with food,


water, insects, soiled hands.

Timely detection of the diseased and carriers, their removal from food cafering and
the like establishment is also very important.

Specific immunisation is only of secondary importance in intestinal
