There are Infectious Diseases and Non infectious Diseases. Infectious diseases can be transmitted from person to person, and can be spread from one living thing to another are known as communicable diseases. They can be caused by, Bacteria, Viruses, Protists, etc. which is the Plague. Non infectious diseases can not be transmitted from person to person, these are things like Cancers.
A communicable disease is any disease that can be passed from one person to another. Common examples include influenza or the common cold. Many child hood infections like chicken pox, or skin complaints like athletes foot are also communicable diseases.
Some examples of communicable diseases are: flu, herpes, common cold, chicken pox and measles.Measles are one example of a communicable disease. Also, HIV/AIDS , Rabies, the Flu, and MIRSA are all considered communicable diseases.
The most common answer I get when asking people this is 'old age'. But 'old age' is not a scientific classification of a type of death. The most common form of death at the moment is by non-communicable disease, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or respiratory diseases. So, once we have 'won the battle' against these non-communicable diseases, and assuming that communicable diseases do not start killing more people, what will we be dying from?
Any communicable disease is an infectious disease. See "Infectious and no Infectious Diseases what is the difference?" question .Common Cold Common cold and AIDS both are infectious diseases unless you take necessary precautions.
A communicable disease is one which can be transmitted from one person to another, like the common cold. A non-communicable disease is one which cannot be transmitted from person to person, such as cancer.
