4.1 Infectious and Non-infectious Diseases
Diseases
Infectious diseases Non-infectious
diseases
• Diseases that can spread from
one person to another
Diseases that cannot spread
from one to another
• Caused by infection of
pathogens directly through
mediums and vectors.

Transmission of diseases through water

Disease-causing
bacteria(pathogens)
in patient’s faeces
Unwashed hands
Contaminated
food and drinks
Water contaminated
by bacteria
Transmission of diseases through air
Tuberculosis (TB), H1N1, severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS) and influenza
are transmitted through air.
TB is caused by bacteria, whereas H1N1 and
SARS are caused by virus.
Influenza may be caused by virus or bacteria.
Transmission of diseases through touch
Tinea versicolor is caused by a type of fungus.
This disease is infectious. We must take care of our
personal hygiene and not share our personal
belongings with an infected person.
Ringworm (Tinea corporis) is caused by a type of
fungus and spreads through direct contact
skin of an infected person.
Transmission of diseases through vector
Vectors are agents that carry the diseasing-
causing organisms.
Dengue, malaria and Zika are transmitted by
mosquitoes.
Lepstopirosis is transmitted by rats.

4.2 Body Defence
Saliva, tears and Mucus
breakdown most of
bacteria’s cell wall.
First line of defence
Skin
•The human skin is made of a tough layer
and it is difficult to be penetrated by
microorganisms.
•Microorganism can only get into body if
there is a wound or if the skin is injured.
•Sweat and sebum secreted by the skin
contained chemicals that can kill
organisms.
Mucous Membrane
•Mucous membrane is a membrane that lines the
digestive tract and respiratory tract.
•Microorganism that enter the respiratory tract are
filtered by nasal hairs and trapped by mucous lining the
nasal cavity.
•Earwax, tears and vaginal secretions also function as an
antiseptic that kills microorganisms.
