Differences between infectious and non-infectious diseases are as follows:

a. INFECTIOUS DISEASES

1. Caused due to attack of pathogens
2. Caused due to extrinsic factors
3. Transmitted from one person to another
4. Transmission of diseases occurs through direct contact or some medium (air, water, vectors)
5. Community hygiene can reduce the occurrence of these diseases
E.g. Cholera, Malaria


b. NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES

1. Caused by factors other than pathogens
2. Caused due to intrinsic factors
3. Do not get transmitted from one person to another
4. Transmission in case of hereditary diseases is from parent to offspring
5. Community hygiene is ineffective in reducing the occurrence of these diseases
E.g. Diabetes, Goitre
