Diseases that spread from person to person via body fluids, food, or water, caused by pathogens like bacteria and viruses.

Diseases that cannot be transmitted between people, often caused by genetics, lifestyle, or environment.

Influenza spreads through air droplets and by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching face.

Microorganisms that cause disease, including bacteria and viruses.

Methods to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, including vaccination, hygiene, and social distancing.

Proteins produced by white blood cells to fight pathogens.

Cells of the immune system that protect the body against infections.

Specialized cells that remember past infections for faster responses.

Chemical substances that kill bacteria or inhibit their growth.

When bacteria evolve to survive despite antibiotic treatment.

Illnesses caused by viruses, ineffective with antibiotics.

Using antibiotics incorrectly, such as not completing the course.

Excessive use of antibiotics, even when unnecessary.

Contain agents resembling pathogens that stimulate immune response.

Vaccines stimulate white blood cells to produce antibodies against pathogens.

Vaccines mimic pathogens to prepare the immune system without causing disease.

Medications that treat viral infections like influenza.

Vaccination is a preventive measure for vulnerable groups to avoid disease.

Excessive or unnecessary prescription of antibiotics, contributing to antibiotic resistance.

The body's reaction to pathogens, activating white blood cells to produce antibodies upon invasion.

The rate at which an infection spreads among individuals within a population.

The percentage of the population that has received vaccinations.

Changes in pathogens that can render vaccines or treatments less effective.

The decrease in reported measles cases due to effective vaccination programs.

Common symptoms of influenza include fever, headache, cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle ache, fatigue, and chills.

Symptoms include shortness of breath, vomiting, and photophobia.

Influenza is caused by the influenza virus, attacking the respiratory system.

Pneumococcal disease is caused by pneumococcus bacteria, affecting multiple body parts.

Influenza spreads through droplets in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Good personal hygiene, such as washing hands and covering mouth when coughing, can reduce influenza transmission.

Pneumococcal bacteria can spread via respiratory droplets in the air.

Practice good hygiene and respiratory etiquette to help prevent pneumococcal infections.
