Okay heres the question, What is the difference between a common source infection and a propagated infection?



St. Peter

Common source infection:Common source outbreaks are not propagated from individual-to-individual (e. g., person-to-person). Instead, sick individuals typically are propagation dead ends. Meaning that if I am sick with a disease/illness, you cannot contract it from me. Propagated Infection: infections, Contrasting with common source outbreaks are propagated infections, which are diseases spread not from some common, geographically well defined disease reservoir, but instead by individual-to-individual (e. g., person-to-person) contact.
