a carrier of a disease-causing agent from an infected individual to a non-infected individual or its food or environment
infectious
A disease caused by a pathogen, (a disease or disease-causing organism) likely to be transmitted to people, organisms, etc through the environment
non-infectious
Not caused by pathogens and therefore cannot be spread from one person to another (caused by factors such as genetics, malnutrition, environment, and lifestyle)
epidemiology
the study of distribution and determinants of health-related states among specified populations and the application of that study to the control of health problems
