Non-infectious causative agents, animal density, stress, boredom, nutrition, temperature, shelter, and other factors.

Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms and can be transmitted by direct or indirect contact, while non-infectious diseases are caused by other factors aside from living organisms.
