Week 5
Topic: Pathogens, diseases and their prevention
Communicable diseases
Communicable diseases are diseases that can be transferred from one person to another. Mode of transmission can be through direct contact, infected air droplet, contaminated food and water, or vector including insects. Some communicable diseases are often referred to as infectious diseases.
To be classified as a communicable disease, an infection has to be present only in people affected by it and not those who are otherwise healthy and the healthy individuals who come into contact with the elements causing the infection have to fall ill as well. For an abnormality to be considered an infection the adverse agents have to come into the body, live for long enough to multiply and should be passed to other hosts easily. Communicable diseases are illnesses that are caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and prions, and are easily transferable from person to person. Communicable diseases cause infections that in most cases produce various kinds of symptoms, while the adverse agents responsible for the infections also need a weakened immune system to which they will make a problem. The stronger the adverse element, or a pathogen, coupled with a weak immune system, the stronger the infection. As a result, pathogens are classified based on the severity of destruction they cause for the organism. Primary pathogens are very strong and will result in an infection in healthy individuals, while also affecting other animals, as well. The extent of the infection produced by a primary pathogen depends on both its strength and the strength of the person it’s affecting. To learn more, click here
