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.
