What is called a disease which spreads from one person to another?

Germs that spread from person to person to cause diseases are contagions.People who are then infected with the germ, only during the active phase of the germ's "life", are then referred to as being contagious.


What are three ways in which diseases can be transmitted?

Infectious diseases are caused by germs, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Contagious or communicable diseases are those that can be spread from one person to another. Infectious diseases that commonly occur among children are often communicable or contagious and may spread very easily from person to person


Diseases passed from person to person through the air or by contact are .?

Communicable diseases, also known as infectious diseases, are passed from person to person through the air or by contact. Examples include the common cold, influenza, tuberculosis, and COVID-19.


What are transmissible diseases?

Transmissible diseases are illnesses caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites that can be passed from one person to another through direct or indirect contact. Examples include the flu, COVID-19, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted infections. Preventive measures such as vaccination, good hygiene practices, and safe sex can help reduce the spread of transmissible diseases.


Why are communicable diseases potentially more dangerous than non-communicable diseases in a community?

Communicable diseases can spread easily from person to person, leading to rapid outbreaks and higher infection rates in a community. This makes them potentially more dangerous as they can affect a larger number of individuals quickly. Non-communicable diseases, on the other hand, are typically chronic conditions that do not spread through direct contact.

Non Communicable simply means that you can't catch the disease from casual contact with another person who has it.

A communicable disease is caused by a bacteria, fungus, virus or other "germ" that remains active in the air or on surfaces. Some diseases are passed only by direct contact and are referred to as infectious as they are harder to pass to another person.
