COMMUNICABLE DISEASE

Introduction

 

When a person becomes sick with a communicable disease it means a germ has invaded their body. Germs fear soap and water. Washing your hands well and often is the best way to beat these tiny warriors.

What are communicable diseases?

communicable disease such as a cold is a disease that spreads from person to person. Communicable diseases are diseases that you can "catch" from someone or something else. Some people may use the words contagious or infectious when talking about communicable diseases.

 

Are there different types of germs?

There are four major types of germs:

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Fungi
  • Protozoa

Is there fungus among us?

Fungi are multi-celled plant-like organisms. Unlike other plants, fungi aren't able to produce their own food from soil, water, and air. Instead, fungi get their nutrition from plants, food, and animals.
Protozoa are one-celled organisms like bacteria. Protozoa also love moisture and often spread diseases through contaminated water. Some protozoa cause intestinal infections.

Viruses depend upon a host to survive, grow, and reproduce. A host is the plant or animal on which or in in which another organism lives. Viruses can't live outside of other living cells.

Germs are tiny organisms (living things) that may cause disease. Germs are so small and sneaky that they creep into our body without being noticed.

Conclusion

REMEMBER - ALL microbes are NOT Germs!      

  • We could not digest our food without microbes.
  • Garbage would not decay without microbes.
  • Plants would not grow without microbes.
  • The gas we pass is caused by bacteria in our intestines.
  • Without microbes there would be no life on earth.
