Infectious diseases

Service Outline

An infectious disease is a disease that can be carried by people and passed on.

Infectious diseases can be transmitted through the air, through close physical contact and through touch.  Infectious diseases are very hard to identify, prevent and cure as they often have several strains (types) and often have early symptoms not dissimilar to much less harmful viruses.
