Communicable Disease Summaries 2000-2009

Communicable Disease

Sample Text from WikiPedia

Infectious diseases, also known as contagious diseases or transmissible diseases, and include communicable diseases, comprise clinically evident illness resulting from the infection, presence and growth of pathogenic biological agents in an individual host organism. These pathogens are the cause of disease epidemics, in the sense that without the pathogen, no infectious epidemic occurs.

Below is an alphabetical list of general communicable disease summaries, linked to a document of more information on each subject.
