A communicable disease is a disease that can be transmitted from one person to another. A contagious disease is a communicable disease that is transmitted to many individuals quickly and easily; highly infectious. For example, the pathogen which causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever can be spread to people through a tick bite. RMSF is not considered contagious, but it is communicable. Something like impetigo or the common cold is considered to be contagious.
'Communicable disease' is not one treatable disease; it is a whole class of diseases. There are dozens, and maybe hundreds of communicable diseases with their own causes and treatments.

Diseases are frequently referred to as communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases comprise infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and measles, while non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are mostly chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and diabetes. That leads to the term communicable.
