INFECTIOUS DISEASE

Infectious diseases are disorders that are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that are passed, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. Humans can also become infected following exposure to an infected animal that harbours a pathogenic organism that is capable of infecting humans.
