A communicable disease is any disease that can be passed from one person to another. Common examples include influenza or the common cold. Many child hood infections like chicken pox, or skin complaints like athletes foot are also communicable diseases.
The reason that cancer is an example of a non-communicable disease is that it can not be transmitted person to person. A cold is communicable because you can get a cold from someone else.
Some examples of communicable diseases are: flu, herpes, common cold, chicken pox and measles.Measles are one example of a communicable disease. Also, HIV/AIDS , Rabies, the Flu, and MIRSA are all considered communicable diseases.
Neither. Communicable diseases are spread by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, for example.
These are the diseases you can't 'catch' from another person.example cancer etc.another example is diptheria :)true
I think you mean communicable diseases? These are serious diseases that are monitored by the relevant health authority. For example TB, diptheria, CJD, influenza. If you are diagnosed with any of the diseases on the 'communicable' list, the Doctor has to report it to the health authority.
When speaking of diseases, a communicable disease is one that can be passed from one with the disease to one who doesn't. This is the way colds are passed. A noncommunicable diseasecan not be passed person to person. For example, heart disease. You can not get heart disease from a patient who has it.
A communicable disease is a disease that can be transferred from an infected person to another individual. or A communicable disease is an infectious disease that can be transmitted from an infected organism to another. Examples of these include: Bird flu, cholera, Malaria, etc.

Communicable diseases are infectious and can be spread from person to person or through animals, insects, or contaminated items. Non-communicable diseases are not infectious and cannot be transmitted between individuals; they typically develop over time due to factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences.
Communicable disease are passed from one person to another or from another animal. For example: colds. Ones that are not are said to be noncommunicable. For example: cancer.
Communicable diseases are those diseases, which can be transferred from one person to another. They include the infectious diseases, which are caused by various infections by microorganisms. They are also communicable.
You did not give us the choices, but a disease that is non-communicable is not contagious. That means you cannot catch it just by being in the same room with a person who has it. For example, cancer is non-communicable. If you visit a cancer patient, there is no evidence you will get cancer from visiting that person.
