Infectious and parasitic diseases are generally caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, including protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites. These organisms invade and multiply within the host's body, leading to various health complications. Transmission can occur through direct contact, contaminated food or water, vectors like mosquitoes, or through respiratory droplets. Factors such as hygiene, sanitation, and immune system strength also play a crucial role in the spread and severity of these diseases.
