Free Shigella transmission Animation

Shigella is transmitted via the fecal–oral route, through direct person-to-person contact, or indirectly through contaminated food, water, or fomites. Transmission directly from one person to another or via fomite is likely the most common mode of transmission in high resource settings; foodborne and waterborne transmission are additional important transmission routes in both high- and low-resource settings.
