The scope and significance of communicable diseases is that they are all illnesses that are caused by some kind of infectious agent. Communicable diseases are also called infectious diseases (or transmissible diseases).
Diseases that are not transmitted from one person to another
Infectious diseases that are easily spread from person to person.
noninfectious diseases dont "spread" as they are "caused by either the environment, nutritional deficiencies, lifestyle choices, or genetic inheritances. Unlike infectious diseases, non-infectious diseases cannot be spread from person to person, although some kinds can be passed down genetically to the children of a carrier."
this term means something is capable of being passed on. i.e airbourne diseases can be passed via coughing, and sneezing therefore are infectious.
There are many infectious diseases that can affect animals, some of these may be passed on to humans (zoonotic diseases). Infectious disease may be caused by; bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and many other classes of pathogens.
Diseases that cannot be spread from one individual to another are considered to be non-infectious. Basically, they aren't contagious. Examples include genetically acquired conditions, as well as cancer.
Infectious diseases are not hereditary. But there may be hereditary resistance or susceptibility to infectious diseases. Say for example sickel cell trait patients are genetically resistant to malarial fever. While sickel cell anemia is susceptible to malarial fever. Some people will not get AIDS, through they are carriers of HIV infection. Some people living in tropical zone will not get malarial fever and they are genetically reasistant to malarial fever.
An "infectious disease" an agent that can be passed from one living organism to another. A non-infectious disease is a disease or other condition that cannot be spread to another organism.
Infectious Diseases include: All Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) and any type of Disease that is caused by an infection. An external factor has to be introduced into the body to cause an Infectious Disease. Also colds.
The word transmit means to send or carry to. It is commonly used for broadcast media, and for Infectious Diseases that are transmitted (passed on) to other hosts.
