Please describe the ways a virus can be transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies per type...: Viruses can be spread in many different ways. Some viruses (such as west nile virus) are spread by mosquitoes. Others are spread by person to person contact (wart viruses). Others can be spread by inhaling tiny particles from the air (flu viruses). It depends upon the type of virus.
