3. Disease
A disease is an illness that affects our health
and prevents us from functioning normally.
There are many types of diseases. Some
are serious and may be infectious.

4. Communicable disease
This disease can be
passed from one
person to another.
• Common cold
• Influenza
• Chicken pox and
measles
• Etc.

5. Common Cold
Common cold is the most
common infectious
disease in humans.
It is spread when an
infected person sneezes
and cough into the air
and the air is breathed in
by other person
Symptoms:
• Runny nose
• Sneezing
• Coughing
• Headache
• Fever
• Muscle pain
Influenza
Contagious disease caused
by a virus that mainly affect
the respiratory system
Influenza is commonly
called flu.
Flu is contagious. It is
transmitted when an
infected person sneezes or
cough into the air and the
air is breathed in by other
person.

• Muscle ache
• Headache and high
fever
Chicken pox and
measles
It is spread through contact
the bodily fluids of an
infected person.
Chicken pox is contagious
illness that caused a red
itchy rash on the skin.
Measles caused high fever,
runny nose and red eyes
before a red rash develops
on the whole body.

6. Non Communicable Disease
A non-communicable disease, or NCD, is a medical
condition or disease, which by definition is non-
infectious and non-transmissible among people.
NCDs may be chronic diseases of long duration and
slow progression, or they may result in more rapid death
such as some types of sudden stroke.
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Cancer
• Alzheimer
• Hypertension
• Etc.

7. Recall!
• What is disease?
• What is communicable disease?
• What are the examples of communicable
disease?
• What is Non Communicable Disease?
• Give example

8. Diseases caused by animals
Diseases can be spread by
animals such as:
• Mosquitoes
• Birds
• Cats and dogs

9. Spread of dengue and malaria by mosquitoes
Prevent Breeding of mosquitoes
Water in potted plants and
clogged drains must be drained

which infect dogs and cats can
also infect humans. Parasites
cause diseases in living thing
they infect.
Symptoms of disease varied
but the more common
symptoms include fever,
diarrhea, stomach pain and flu-
like symptoms such as sore
throat and muscle ache.

13. Immunization
Immunization, or immunisation, is the
process by which an individual's
immune system becomes fortified
against an agent (known as the
immunogen).
