Detailed explanation-1: -Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by harmful agents (pathogens) that get into your body. The most common causes are viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.

Detailed explanation-2: -Infection is the invasion of the host by microorganisms, which then multiply in close association with the host’s tissues. Infection is distinguished from disease, a morbid process that does not necessarily involve infection (diabetes, for example, is a disease with no known causative agent).

Detailed explanation-3: -Anthrax, HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, and the Zika virus, among many others are examples of pathogens that cause serious diseases.

Detailed explanation-4: -An infection is the invasion of an organism’s body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of your body or your pet’s body to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.

Detailed explanation-5: -Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply. Disease occurs when the cells in your body are damaged as a result of infection and signs and symptoms of an illness appear.
