How are noninfectious diseases caused?
Noninfectious diseases are caused by factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices (e.g. diet, exercise, smoking), environmental factors (e.g. pollution, radiation), and aging. These diseases develop over time and are not spread from person to person like infectious diseases. Examples of noninfectious diseases include heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Responses of body systems to infectious and noninfectious diseases?
Body systems respond to infectious diseases by activating the immune system to identify and eliminate pathogens. In contrast, noninfectious diseases typically result from genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors, leading to structural or functional abnormalities in specific body systems. The response to noninfectious diseases often involves targeted treatments to manage symptoms and slow disease progression.

Do animals get smallpox?
The reason we were able to "erradicate" (said that way because we have stores in labs) smallpox was because the human serotype is only able to affect humans. The smallpox vaccine is made from cowpox, which is similar enough to smallpox to provide immunity, but cannot infect us.
