Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites — these are organisms that can cause infectious diseases. We can’t see them, but many organisms live in and on our bodies and the environment. Depending on the immune system, these organisms are usually harmless and can even help strengthen the immune system. Under certain conditions, however, these organisms can cause disease.
Infectious diseases can spread from person to person or be transmitted from insects or animal bites. Consuming contaminated water or food can also cause infectious diseases. Symptoms can be mild to severe and typically include chills and fever.
