Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or
parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. They're normally harmless or even
helpful. But under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease. Some infectious
diseases can be passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by insects or other
animals. And you may get others by consuming contaminated food or water or being exposed
to organisms in the environment.
