☛Infectious Disease:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \mathbb{ \red{Malaria}}}}$

• Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that tends to affect children the most in tropical and subtropical climates.
• Behind hepatitis B, it appears to be the second most-common infectious disease, and it certainly is one of the most deadly on an annual basis.
• Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite can be spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
• Only the Anopheles species of mosquito can transmit malaria, and mosquitoes pick up the parasite from biting a person already infected with the illness.
• To prevent mosquito bites by wearing protective clothing, using insect repellants and sleeping under treated mosquito nets.

☛Non Infectious Disease:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \green{ \mathbb{Cancer}}}}$

• Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in a body.
• Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells.
• Noninfectious diseases are not contagious because they are not caused by pathogens. Thus, Cancer is an non infectious as it is caused by general mutations in cells.
• Also, Cancer couldn't spread from one person to another through any physical means, like touching or eating etc.
