Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These diseases can be transmitted through direct contact, contaminated food or water, and insect bites. Infectious diseases are preventable and treatable with vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions. Effective hygiene practices are crucial in reducing transmission.
