Below, please see the definitions of infectious disease and communicable disease.  They are similar but differ in some characteristics.

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. They’re normally harmless or even helpful. But under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease. Some infectious diseases can be passed from person to person.

Communicable, or infectious, diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. Some are transmitted through bites from insects, while others are caused by ingesting contaminated food or water.
