What is an example of a droplet transmission disease?

Measles
Scabies
Rubella
Staph infections

The correct answer is: Rubella

Droplet transmission diseases are those that spread through respiratory droplets that are expelled when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Rubella is characterized as a droplet transmission disease because it is primarily spread through these droplets when an infected person is in close proximity to others, especially in crowded or enclosed spaces. Measles, while it can also spread through droplets, primarily transmits through airborne routes, which differ from direct droplet transmission. Scabies is caused by a mite and spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items, rather than through respiratory droplets. Staph infections are typically spread through direct contact with infections or contaminated surfaces and are not classified under droplet transmission. Thus, rubella stands out as the appropriate example of a disease that is transmitted through respiratory droplets.
