Communicable Disease
The study of a communicable disease may intersect with issues of sewage systems, weather patterns, vaccinations, available medical care, public education, travel restrictions, water purity, and social interactions. Health officials work to inform the public on high-risk epidemics, such as one strain of flu or a new variety of herpes. Then they can reduce their exposure with preventative measures such as avoiding risky behaviors or getting vaccinated. Methods of transmission are usually well known, and can therefore be circumvented.

Re: Communicable Disease
hi friends
communicable disease:
A communicable disease is carried by microorganisms and transmitted through people, animals, surfaces, foods, or air. Communicable diseases rely on fluid exchange, contaminated substances, or close contact to travel from an infected carrier to a healthy individual.
The disease might need a blood exchange via an injection, float along a sneeze in a movie theater, or get transmitted through childbirth. We understand their origin. Examples of communicable diseases include herpes, malaria, mumps, HIV/AIDS, influenza, chicken pox, ringworm, and whooping cough. Cancer, on the other hand, is not a communicable disease.A human-to-human communicable disease could be passed through blood, mucus, uterine fluid, breast milk, semen, saliva, or breath. Often, these are prevented by safer sex, frequent hand washing, proper disposal of waste, etc.,
thanks
