		Some diseases are passed on by direct or indirect contact with infected persons or with their excretions.
		Most diseases are spread through contact or close proximity because the causative bacteria or viruses are airborne; i.e., they can be expelled from the nose and mouth of the infected person and inhaled by anyone in the vicinity.
		A disease such as tuberculosis may be transmitted in several ways : by contact (human or animal), through food or eating utensils, and by the air.

	Communicable Diseases, Gender, and Equity in Health (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Communicable disease experts tend to focus exclusively on the biological mechanisms through which disease operates when they develop their interventions; rarely do they broaden their vision to include an examination of the political, social and economic conditions that explain why a disease occurs in the first place.
		Interventions in communicable diseases must be planned with cognisance of the way in which gender influences the degree to which men and women, as individuals and population groups, have access to and control of the resources needed to protect their own health and that of family and community members.
		Finally, while most infectious diseases are shared by men and women, to date much of the research that has been conducted on sex specific aspects of infectious disease have focused on women’s biological reproductive function, specifically the fetus or potential fetus she carries.

	Communicable Diseases
		Communicable diseases are diseases which are capable of being transmitted from one person or species to another, and include infectious and parasitic diseases.
		The book profiles the impacts of disease outbreaks and epidemics and lists the causes, symptoms and treatments for the major communicable diseases in Australia, including bacterial and viral infections; the common cold; influenza; pneumonia; food-borne disease; hepatitis A, B and C; and HIV/AIDS.
		These are the emerging and epidemic-prone diseases – the headline diseases that flare up and wreak havoc, sometimes in predictable geographical areas or seasons, sometimes in ways that take the medical and public health professions completely by surprise.

		An explanation of the communicable disease and epidemiology functions at the health department would be incomplete without first providing a definition for that which serves as the foundation of this practice, epidemiology and surveillance.
		Communicable diseases are those that can be transmitted from person to person (or animal to human) via direct contact with body fluids, ingesting contaminated food or water, inhalation of contaminated air, or the bite of an infected insect.
		Preventing and controlling communicable disease is a necessary and critical aspect of assuring community health, and is an affirmative duty of local public health departments.

	Communicable Diseases
		Infectious diseases still are one of the most common causes of suffering and death, and they impose a significant financial burden on society.
		Disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is more serious and can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.
		Disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is as serious as that caused by HBV.

		Communicable diseases do not respect national frontiers and can spread rapidly if actions are not taken to combat them.
		In addition, new scientific developments on the role of infectious agents in chronic conditions such as cancer, heart diseases or allergies are under investigation.

	Notifiable Communicable Diseases Control - Directive
		Communicable disease is an illness in humans that is caused by an organism, micro-organism or its toxic products and is transmitted directly or indirectly from an infected person, animal, or the environment.
		Notifiable communicable diseases are reported to the medical officer of health at the public health unit in which the person was located at the time of the exposure or the onset of symptoms.
		Employees required to travel to areas, where specific communicable diseases are known to be prevalent, may obtain advice on immunization and other preventative measures from the local regional health authority, or from the Health and Safety Consultants at Personnel Administration Office.

	Chapter 5: Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases
		It is clear that in the Netherlands, infectious disease is no longer a major cause of death; Egypt is in transition, where up to the age of ten years infectious disease dominates, and there is still a significant infant and child mortality.
		In fact, the experience of the industrialized countries where cardiovascular disease mortality increased rapidly for men until the 1970s, and then decreased, may be as likely a pattern for developing countries as that of Eastern Europe where cardiovascular disease premature mortality is now rising.
		Overall mortality from chronic disease is falling in all four countries, mainly due to a decrease in mortality from diseases of the circulatory system.

	Communicable diseases: business continuity issues
		For those not caught in the middle of the outbreak it is hard to explain the extent of the dark, depressing effect this had on individuals and economies.
		Of course it is not quite so easy to identify trigger points in the case of unknown diseases but it is important that all members of recovery functions or committees understand that their role as guardians of the overall recovery process is not just restricted to being reactive but is also anticipatory.
		Communicable diseases of this nature are fortunately low frequency/high impact events but with a little bit of application you can ensure that your organisation is better prepared than many were in 2003.

		Infected employees with diseases that threaten the safety of others are eligible for the same leave of absence provisions of current University policy for medical (sick) or annual leave.
