2. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
vs
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
2 KEY DIFFERENCES
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
NON- COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES
A group of slow-
progressing
diseases
Usually non-
infectious diseases
Diseases that can
spread from one
person to another
via various means
and methods.
Usually infectious
diseases
3. A communicable
disease is one that
is spread from one
person to another
through a variety
of ways that
include contact
with blood and
bodily fluids
breathing in an
airborne virus or
by being bitten by
an insect.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
4. How do these
communicable diseases
spread?
A communicable disease is one
that is spread from one person to
another through a variety of ways
that include: contact with blood
and bodily fluids, sexual
intercourse with HIV or other
communicable disease without
condoms,breathing in an airborne
virus; or by being bitten by an
5. contact with a contaminated surface
or object (Norwalk virus), food
(salmonella, E. coli), blood (HIV,
hepatitis B), or water (cholera
bites from insects or animals capable
of transmitting the disease (mosquito:
malaria and yellow fever; flea:
plague); and
travel through the air, such as
tuberculosis or measles.
8. Staph is usually
spread through
direct contact with a
person who has a
skin infection or is
carrying the
bacteria(MRSA) on
their skin or in their
nose . The bacteria
of this disease is
called methicillin-
resistant
Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA).
Staphylococcus
9. SYMPTOMS:
•A painful red lump or bump on the
skin. This is often a boil or carbuncle
(cluster of boils).

transmitted through
sexual contact with the
penis, vagina, mouth,

Chickenpox/ Shingles

or lumps around your vagina,
penis or anus (genital warts

United States include:
Lyme disease,
babesiosis, ehrlichiosis,
Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever,
anaplasmosis, Southern
Tick-Associated Rash
Illness, Tick-Borne
Relapsing Fever, and
tularemia.
Thick- Borne Disease
19. SYMPTOMS:
Tickborne diseases can cause
headache, fatigue, and muscle
aches. People with Lyme disease
may also have joint pain. Rash.
Lyme disease, Southern tick-
associated rash illness (STARI),
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
(RMSF), ehrlichiosis, and
tularemia can cause distinctive
rashes.
20. Tuberculosis (TB) is a
disease caused by
germs that are spread
from person to person
through the air. TB

This is what causes the
whites of the eyes to
appear reddish or pink.
Pink eye also is called
conjunctivitis.

27. Non-communicable
diseases are diseases
that are not spread
through infection or
through other people,
but are typically caused
by unhealthy
behaviours. They are the
leading cause of death
worldwide and present
a huge threat to health
and development,
particularly in low- and
middle-income
countries.
NON- COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
29. Cancer is a disease
caused when cells
divide
uncontrollably and
