Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These diseases can spread from one person to another, through direct contact, airborne transmission, contaminated water or food, and insect vectors. Some common examples include influenza, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. The impact of infectious diseases can range from mild illnesses to life-threatening conditions, and they continue to pose a significant global health challenge. Advances in medical research, vaccinations, and treatments have helped control many infectious diseases, but emerging new strains and antibiotic resistance are ongoing concerns. Preventative measures, hygiene practices, and global cooperation are essential to reduce the burden of these diseases.
