1) Communicable Disease
- A communicable disease is one that is spread from one person to another through a
variety of ways that include: contact with blood and bodily fluids; breathing in an airborne virus;
or by being bitten by an insect.

2) Virus
- any of a large group of submicroscopic infective agents that are usually regarded as
nonliving extremely complex molecules, that typically contain a protein coat surrounding an
RNA or DNA core of genetic material but no semipermeable membrane, that are capable of
growth and multiplication only in living cells, and that cause various important diseases in
humans, animals, and plants

3) Bacteria
- any of a domain (Bacteria) (see DOMAIN SENSE 8) of chiefly round, spiral, or rod-
shaped single-celled prokaryotic microorganisms that typically live in soil, water, organic
matter, or the bodies of plants and animals, that make their own food especially from sunlight
or are saprophytic or parasitic, are often motile by means of flagella, reproduce especially
by binary fission, and include many important pathogens

4) Fungi
- Fungi is the plural word for "fungus". A fungus is a eukaryotic organism. Yeasts,
moulds and mushrooms are examples of fungi. The study of fungi is called mycology. Like
animals, humans and most bacteria, all fungi are heterotrophs. This means that they get their
energy by eating organic substances. In contrast, plants get their energy directly from light and
for this reason plants are called autotrophs. Although fungi have much more in common with
animals than plants, mycology is often seen as a branch of botany (plant science).

5) Staphylococcus
- any of a genus (Staphylococcus) of nonmotile gram-positive spherical bacteria that
occur singly, in pairs or tetrads, or in irregular clusters and include causative agents of various
diseases (such as skin infections, food poisoning, and endocarditis)
6) HIV
- is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It can also be spread by contact with infected
blood or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breast-feeding.

7) Hepatitis
- . is an inflammation of the liver. The condition can be self-limiting or can progress to
fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer. Hepatitis viruses are the most common cause of
hepatitis in the world but other infections, toxic substances (e.g. alcohol, certain drugs), and
autoimmune diseases can also cause hepatitis

8) Influenza
- is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system — your nose, throat and lungs.
Influenza is commonly called the flu, but it's not the same as stomach "flu" viruses that cause
diarrhea and vomiting.

9) Norwalk virus
- A family of small round viruses that are an important cause of viral gastroenteritis(viral
inflammation of the stomach and intestines). Norwalk disease is a significant contributor to
illness in the US. Only the common cold is reported more frequently as a cause of disease. About
a third of all cases of viral gastroenteritis after infancy are due to Norwalk viruses.

10) Salmonella
- is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Salmonella bacteria
typically live in animal and human intestines and are shed through feces. Humans become
infected most frequently through contaminated water or food.
11) E.coli
- Escherichia coli (abbreviated as E. coli) are bacteria found in the environment, foods,
and intestines of people and animals. E. coliare a large and diverse group of bacteria. Although
most strains of E. coli are harmless, others can make you sick.

12) Cholera
- An infectious disease characterized by intense vomiting and profuse
watery diarrhea and that rapidly leads to dehydration and often death. Cholera is caused by
infection with the bacteria Vibrio cholerae, which may be transmitted via infected fecal matter,
food, or water. With modern sanitation, cholera is no longer as common as it once was, but
epidemics still occur whenever people must live in crowded and unsanitary conditions, such as in
refugee camps. The disease is treated with intravenous fluids and with antibiotics. Cholera has
also been known as Asian cholera, due to its one-time prevalence in that area of the world.

13) Malaria
- An infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites from the Plasmodium family that
can be transmitted by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito or by a contaminated needle or
transfusion. Falciparum malaria is the most deadly type.

14) Dengue
- is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a severe flu-like illness and, sometimes
causing a potentially lethal complication called severe dengue. The incidence of dengue has
increased 30-fold over the last 50 years. Up to 50-100 million infections are now estimated to
occur annually in over 100 endemic countries, putting almost half of the world’s population at
risk.

15) Cryptococcosis
- an infectious disease that is caused by a fungus (Cryptococcus neoformans) and is
characterized by the production of lesions in subcutaneous tissues, joints, and especially the
lungs, brain, and meninges and often by pneumonia or meningitis
