Infectious diseases
Non-infectious diseases
Diseases that spread from one person to another are called communicable diseases. They do not spread to others and they restrain within a person who has contracted them
They are caused by microorganisms called pathogens such as bacteria, protozoans, viruses, etc. These diseases are caused by pathogens, but other factors such as age, nutritional deficiency, the gender of an individual, and lifestyle also influence the disease
Examples: Cholera, chickenpox, malaria
Examples: Diabetes, cancer, asthma, etc.
Infection, often the first step, occurs when bacteria, viruses or other microbes that cause disease enter your body and begin to multiply. Disease occurs when the cells in your body are damaged — as a result of the infection — and signs and symptoms of an illness appear.
