Hepatitis A is transmitted by which route?

Airborne Fecal-oral route Bloodborne Vector-borne

Correct Answer:

Fecal-oral route

Explanation:

Hepatitis A is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. This means the virus is shed in the feces of an infected person and can enter another person if contaminated food or water is consumed, or if hands contaminated with fecal material touch food or objects that are then eaten. It’s commonly linked to poor sanitation, contaminated water, or foods like shellfish handled by someone who hasn’t practiced good hygiene. It is not spread through the air, via blood, or by insect vectors, which is why those other transmission routes don’t apply.
