Communicable
diseases
Communicable diseases
are caused by pathogens
(organisms that cause
disease) and can be
passed from
one person to another.
They are also known as
infectious diseases and
include sexually
transmitted
infections (STIs), air-
borne diseases, water-
borne diseases, food-
borne diseases and
vector-borne
diseases (see Tables 12.3,
12.4 and 12.5).
Non-
communicable
diseases
Non-communicable
diseases are not caused by
pathogens and cannot be
passed from one person to
another. Many are

disease.
• Lifestyle-related
diseases (obesity, diabetes
etc)

someone other than the
