La ocurrencia de las enfermedades infecciosas obedece a una secuencia de interacciones que permiten que el microorganismo infectante se ponga en contacto con una persona susceptible y produzca en ella la infección. Las infecciones son resultado de estas interacciones con un microorganismo que deja su hábitat para reproducirse en un huésped (individuo reservorio). Luego, se trasmite hacia otros individuos pasando por una puerta de salida (vía para transmitirse desde el huésped, mecanismo de transmisión) y encuentra una puerta de entrada (canal de infección, vía de infección) en un nuevo individuo (huésped susceptible). Esta secuencia de eventos específicos se conoce como "cadena de transmisión" […] 1, record 2, Spanish, - cadena%20de%20transmisi%C3%B3n%20de%20infecciones

Une page passerelle est adaptée pour présenter une information spécifique au moteur que le visiteur occasionnel ne peut percevoir.

Il y a plusieurs raisons qui peuvent expliquer la mise en place de ce genre de page. Par exemple, l'auteur ne désire pas révéler publiquement sa logique de placement. Ou bien le format pour que la page soit acceptée par certains moteurs ne correspond pas au format désiré pour les visiteurs, d'un point de vue esthétique.
