Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens passed between humans through various means of transmission. The common cold is the most common communicable disease, caused by one of over 200 viruses transmitted through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include congestion, cough, headache, and fatigue. While no cure exists, rest, hydration, and nutrition can help the body fight the virus. Influenza is also highly contagious and spreads similarly, requiring medical consultation if symptoms are severe. Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that may develop from untreated colds or influenza.
Non-communicalbe diseases and its preventionShoaib Kashem
Non communicable disease account for a large and increasing burden of disease worldwide. It is currently estimated that non communicable disease accounts for approximately 60% of global deaths and 43% of global disease burden. This is projected to increase to 73% of deaths and 60% of disease burden by 2020.

I do not own some slides .
This slide includes types of pathogens with images :)
You can use it to your lessons in Health :)
Communicable diseases are illnesses that spread from one person to another or from an animal to a person, or from a surface or a food. Diseases can be transmitted during air travel through: direct contact with a sick person. respiratory droplet spread from a sick person sneezing or coughing.

It brings to life the fascinating connections between structure and function in the human body and explores the health and disease continuum in detail, including teaching on how medical therapies act to treat or even prevent disease. Human health, defined as the complete state of physical, social, and mental well-being and not merely the absence of illness, disease, or infirmity, is as vital a resource as water, food, or energy.

2. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
• Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens
passed from one human to another. Pathogens are
viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal.
• Methods of transmission include
mucus, blood, breath, saliva and sexual contact.
Contaminated surfaces, such as
doorknobs, counter tops and playground
equipment, provide a medium for passing disease
from one human to another.
3. COMMON COLD
• The common cold is the most common
communicable diseases in the world.
• This is a disease of the upper respiratory tract
which is caused by a virus.
• You can get a cold virus by direct contact with a
person who has cold or by inhaling an airborne cold
virus.
• Most people catch cold by touching an object that
has cold viruses on it.
• They can transfer the viruses from their hands to
their eyes, nose, our mouth.
4. COMMON COLDS
• More than 200 different viruses are known to cause
the common cold -- and the miserable symptoms
that come with it.
• The most common cold viruses include:

• Adenovirus
• Human Para influenza virus
5. TRIVIA ABOUT COLDS
• The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases states that as
of 2007, Americans have an estimated 1 billion colds each year.
• The age group most susceptible to repeated colds is children.
• People older than 60 average less than one cold a year.
• Because so many different viruses can cause a cold and because new
cold viruses constantly develop, the body never builds up resistance
against all of them. For this reason, colds are a frequent and recurring
problem. In fact, children in preschool and elementary school can have
six to 12 colds per year while adolescents and adults typically have
two to four colds per year.
• It is estimated that individuals in the United States suffer 1 billion colds
per year, with approximately 22 million days of school absences
recorded annually.

lead to bacterial infections of your middle ear (otitis

with antibiotics.
• High fever, significantly swollen glands, severe
sinus pain, and a cough that produces mucus may
indicate a complication or a more serious illness
requiring a visit to your healthcare provider.

OF SALT AND EIGHT OUNCES OF WARM WATER) MAY
BE SOOTHING EVERY FEW HOURS.
• WARM HUMIDIFIED AIR CAN ALLEVIATE CONGESTION.
9. PREVENTION OF COMMON COLD
• NO MEDICINES CAN CURE THE COMMON COLD.
• SOME MEDICINES CAN LESSEN YOUR SYMPTONS
WHILE YOUR BODY FIGHTS THE COLD, BUT THEY
WILL NOT HELP YOUGET WELL ANY FASTER.
