An infectious disease is a clinically evident illness resulting from the presence of pathogenic

agents, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multi-

cellular parasites, and unusual proteinknown as prions. Infectious pathologies are also called comm

unicable diseases or transmissibdiseases, due to their potential of transmission from one person o

species to another by a replicating agent (as opposed to a toxin).

Transmissible diseases that occur through contact with an ill person, or objects touched bythem, are
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
especially infective, and are sometimes referred to as contagious diseases.
n n n n n n n n n
Communicable diseases that require a more specialized route of infection, such as through blood or
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
needle transmission, or sexual transmission, are usually not regarded as contagious.
n n n n n n n n n n
The term infectivity describes the ability of an organism to enter, survive and multiply in the host, wh

a. Because an infectious disease destroys infections with enough time.

A virus (from the Latin virus meaning toxin or poison) is a small infectious agent that can

replicate only inside the living cells of other organisms. Most viruses are too small to be seendirectly
