What are acquired diseases? |
|
Answer» Diseases which are developed after the birth of an individual are called acquired diseases. These are of two types, viz. (a) Communicable or infectious diseases and (b) Noncommunicable or Non-infectious diseases. Communicable or infectious diseases are transmitted from infected person to another healthy person either directly or indirectly. They are caused due to pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, helminth worms, etc. Noncommunicable or Non-infectious diseases cannot be transmitted from infected person to another healthy one either directly or indirectly. |
