Science of Infectious Disease
An infectious disease can be defined as an illness due to a pathogen or its toxic product, which arises through transmission from an infected person, an infected animal, or a contaminated inanimate object to a susceptible host. There are several scientific practices in place to identify and/or treat an infectious disease.
