Inherited diseases are passive and Infectious Diseases are acquired. This means that inherited diseases are passed down to you when you are born. You just have them. Acquired diseases are diseases you get from things in everyday life, that are not already dormant inside you. Every disease you've ever had is still dormant in your body, but your immune system has grown used to it and can fight it off continually unless triggered by a new exposure to the same disease, especially since disease can alter a little over time.
What else can I help you with?
What is the term where a family is ill with the same infectious disease?
communicable disease
Is Treatment of genetic disease the same as genetic treatment of disease?
no but as I see it treatment of genetic disease is treating a genetic problem as a genetic treatment of a disease is using genetics to stop a certain disease that can be treated with genetics
How do you gets rid of infectious disease?
There are many types of infectious diseases. Each has to be managed on merit. You have to consult the doctor for the same.
How might the lack of genetic diversity found in populations of endangered species might hinder their recovery?
Lack of genetic diversity can becomes a problem when a species is hit with infectious diseases. If all the organisms are very similar, then it is very likely that they will all be affected by the same disease, thus destroying the species as a whole. In species with high amounts of genetic diversity, a disease may destroy a section of the population, but many individuals will be resistant to the disease.
Is sars the same as aids?
SARS is not the same as AIDS. They are both relatively recently-emerging infectious disease. The similarity ends there.
What is the definition of epidemics?
epidemic - a widespread outbreak of an infectious disease; many people are infected at the same time
Is pyorrhea or periodontist is the same disease?
I think pyorrhea is the disease, a periodontist is the type of dentist that treats it. My father had it and it seems to be genetic.

Right. About. Here, is where I would give you a very witty answer.. this question had me pondering..
If you had a child die from SIDS can your granddaughter have the same problem?
No, SIDS is not a heredity or genetic disease.
How can several different mutations cause the same genetic disease?
Several different mutations can cause the same genetic disease due to the redundancy and complexity of genetic coding. Multiple mutations can occur in the same gene, affecting its function in various ways, such as altering protein structure, disrupting regulation, or leading to premature stop signals. Additionally, mutations in different genes that interact within the same biological pathway can also result in similar disease phenotypes. This genetic variability highlights the diverse mechanisms through which diseases can manifest despite differing underlying mutations.
Which is easy to control infectious or non infectious diseases?
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.
How is a non infectious disease different from a infectious disease?
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.
