    This document discusses the prevention of diseases caused by microorganisms through three main methods: 1) controlling vectors that transmit pathogens like mosquitoes that carry malaria, 2) sterilization using heat, chemicals, and radiation to destroy microorganisms, and 3) developing immunity in the body to resist diseases caused by pathogens. Common sterilization techniques mentioned are autoclaving, boiling, using antiseptics, disinfectants, and ultraviolet or gamma radiation.
