Multiple Choice

Vibrio cholerae is transmitted by nasal and buccal secretions.

The main idea is how Vibrio cholerae is transmitted. It spreads primarily through the fecal-oral route, usually via water or food contaminated with feces from an infected person. It is not transmitted through nasal or buccal secretions, nor through skin contact or blood transfusion. So the statement is false because cholera transmission relies on ingesting contaminated material, not on secretions from the nose or mouth.
