An infectious airborne disease is one that you can catch from a person sneezing. The one most people are familiar with is the flu.
You can get an infectious disease through airborne transmission, bloodborne transmission, sexual transmission, or oral/fecal route, to name a few. Tuberculosis is airborne, HIV is bloodborne or sexual, polio is oral/fecal.
Measles are one of the many types of an infectious disease.
Infectious and contagious are considered different by the transmission route. A condition that is infectious is transmitted by contact with body fluids by touch or by airborne route. One such example is influenza, or the common flu.

An infectious disease is one that can be spread from person to person (or animal to animal). Where a medical condition is caused by a virus, bacteria, or parasite, their reproduction poses a threat to those in contact with the sufferer, or in the same surroundings. Sometimes there is an intermediate vector that spreads the disease, or it may be airborne, waterborne, or transmitted by direct contact. EXAMPLE: The virus for the common cold is spread by airborne fluid droplets or by contaminated surfaces. Measles and chickenpox are spread by contact.
