The disease has the ability to spread in the community by many different routes or sometimes only by one route. Infectious diseases can often become epidemics with a very large number of infected people and often develop in stages: Inflammation, onset, full-blown disease, remission and recovery.
Every infectious disease is caused by a pathogen. However, in isolated cases it can be caused by two or more pathogens (eg malaria due to P.falciparum + P.vivax combination).
