(such as ‘ticks’ / ‘mites’ / ‘fleas’ / ‘lice’)

(such as ‘ringworm’)
(…and other ‘macro-parasites’)

__*AKA*__
“TRANS-MISSIBLE DISEASE”
“COMMUNICABLE DISEASE”
.
*the ‘invasion’ of an organism’s ‘body tissues’ by ‘disease-causing agents’…*
*…their ‘multiplication’…*
*…the ‘reaction’ of ‘host tissues’ to these ‘organisms’ (and the ‘toxins’ they produce)*
.
*”infectious disease” is ‘illness’ resulting from an ‘infection’*
.
(‘infections’ are caused by ‘infectious agents’ including…)
‘viruses’
‘viroids’

‘nematodes’

.
‘fungi’

.
(…and other ‘macro-parasites’)
(such as ‘tape-worms’ + other ‘helminths’)
.
(hosts can fight infections using their ‘immune system’)
.
(‘mammalian hosts’ react to infections with an innate response, often involving ‘inflammation’, followed by an adaptive response)
(specific medications used to treat infections include ‘antibiotics’, ‘antivirals’, ‘antifungals’, ‘antiprotozoals’, and ‘antihelminthics’)
(infectious diseases resulted in 9.2 million deaths in 2013 (about 17% of all deaths))
.
(the branch of medicine that focuses on ‘infections’ is referred to as ‘infectious disease’)
