Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, that can be transmitted from one individual to another, either directly or indirectly. These diseases can affect various parts of the body and can be spread through different routes, including airborne transmission, contact with infected surfaces, contaminated food and water, or through vectors like insects. Infectious diseases can manifest in a range of symptoms and severity, from mild to life-threatening conditions. They have significant implications for public health, as outbreaks can lead to widespread infections within communities.
