"The Movement of Pathogens Out of Hosts: Portals of Exit: Just as infections occur through portals of entry, so pathogens must leave infected patients through portals of exit in order to infect others. Common portals of exit are respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts in the form of coughs, sneezes, feces, saliva, penile and vaginal secretions, and urine. The skin is another portal of exit through drainage of wounds."
