What is the difference between them and what do they mean other than one being infectious and one not being infectious.

Its easy:Infectious diseases, are those illnesses caused by living organisms ( bacteria, fungi or protozoa or viruses)Example of this diseases is measles (virus) facial acne (bacteria) athletes foot (caused by fungi) and tapeworm infestation /cause by worm larvae).Invariably, in infectious diseases, there is the presence )and active intervention ) of living parasytes,,Non infectious diseases. are all te rest. I mean, those in which NO living organism intervenes, nor is the cause of, such as a fractures, a torn ligament, allergies, burns, hernias etc..You maybe got the main idea..

An infectious disease is a clinically evident disease of humans or animals that damages or injures the host so as to impair host function, and results from the presence and activity of one or more pathogenic microbial agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions. Transmission of an infectious disease may occur through several pathways; including through contact with infected individuals, by water, food, airborne inhalation, or through vector-borne spread. The rest of the diseases can be classified as noninfectious diseases. Most of them are degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cancer, mental illness, etc.

An infectious disease is clinically apparent in humans or animals causing damage or injury host to endanger the reception function, and the results of the presence and activity of one or more pathogenic microbes, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and abnormal prion proteins known. Infectious disease can occur in several ways, including through contacts with infected people, through water, food, inhalation of air or by the spread of vectors.

Hello Friends,
An infectious disease is a clinically evident disease of humans or animals that damages or injures the host so as to impair host function, and results from the presence and activity of one or more pathogenic microbial agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions. Transmission of an infectious disease may occur through several pathways; including through contact with infected individuals, by water, food, airborne inhalation, or through vector-borne spread. The rest of the diseases can be classified as noninfectious diseases. Most of them are degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cancer, mental illness, etc.
Thanks and Regards,
Lucy James
