Preventing, Diagnosing and Treating Infectious Diseases Caused by Pathogens
Adult Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases can be caused by many pathogens, including bacteria, viruses,
fungi, and parasites that may cause illness and disease. For humans, transmission
of pathogens may occur in a variety of ways: spread from person-to-person by direct
contact, water or foodborne illness or aerosolization of infected particles in the
environment and through insects and ticks.
