It is known as a NON-INFECTIOUS disease.
as it is caused by the lack of Vitamin C in the body.
It is a non communicable disease caused by lack of vitamin C

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).

Cancer, diabetes, hypertension are few non infectious diseases. These diseases are not transferred from one person to other person.
Diseases that are not transmitted from one person to another
Non-infectious diseases are easier to control - because you only need to treat the individual patient. With infectious diseases - the illness is spread between people - by touching or simply breathing in the same air while in close contact.
Diseases that are not transmitted from one person to another

Infectious diseases are those diseases which are caused by infectious agents (which include microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa and virus, as well as some multicellular animals such as worms) and hence they are the ones which can spread from one person to another. Non-infectious diseases are those diseases that are not caused by infectious agents and do not spread from one person to another.
A non infectious diseases can not be transmitted to other humans. Non-infectious diseases are those diseases that are not caused by a pathogen and cannot be shared from one person to another. Diseases caused by these organisms are infectious diseases. There are many kinds of non-infectious diseases. A non-infectious disease is a disease that may be caused by either the environment, nutritional deficiencies or genetic inheritances. Some examples include; Environmental causes such as skin cancer from radiation (from the Sun), or lack of food (e.g. scurvy from lack of Vitamin C), genetic disorders, or any source other than an infection. They can also be caused by drugs and carcinogens (cancer-causing agents). Non-infectious diseases cannot be spread from person to person as in infectious disease, but can be passed down genetically in some cases such as hemophilia in the royal blood line. Historically, infectious diseases were the main cause of death in the world and, indeed, in some developing regions this may still be the case. With the development of antibiotics and vaccination programs, infectious disease is no longer the leading cause of death in the western world. Non-infectious disease is now responsible for the leading causes of death in both developed and some developing countries. There Hope Your Happy :D

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.
Non infectious diseases are spread by the environment, bad nutrition, genetic inheritance, and hereditary diseases.
Infectious diseases - Dysentery, Pneumonia, Typhoid, Hepatitis A & E, Dengue. Non-infectious diseases - Diabetes, Arthritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Coronary problems.
