Answers
Answer:
There are four main types of disease: infectious diseases, deficiency diseases, hereditary diseases (including both genetic diseases and non-genetic hereditary diseases), and physiological diseases. Diseases can also be classified in other ways, such as communicable versus non-communicable diseases. Of great importance to public and child health are the vaccines against the so-called six killer diseases of childhood-measles, pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, tuberculosis and poliomyelitis.
Answer:
Diseases can be grouped into two types:
communicable , which are caused by pathogens and can be transferred from one person to another, or from one organism to another - in humans these include measles, food poisoning and malaria.
non-communicable , which are not transferred between people or other organisms
What are the 2 disease categories?
infectious and non-infectious diseases
Explanation:
Even though the types of diseases can be classified very broadly, the classification of diseases into infectious and non-infectious diseases is considered very apt. Infectious diseases can be easily transmitted from one person to the other while the non-infectious disease cannot be transmitted.
