diseases
infectious
Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. They're normally harmless or even helpful. But under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease.

non infections
A disease that is not contagious is called a noninfectious disease. These diseases are not caused by pathogens. Instead, they are likely to have causes such as lifestyle factors, environmental toxins, or gene mutations. Common types of noninfectious diseases include cancer, diabetes, and immune system diseases.
bacteria
a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some that can cause disease.
virus
an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
fungi
any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
parasite
an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.
pathogens
a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
microorganism
a microscopic organism, especially a bacterium, virus, or fungus.
