a disease is like a cold or the flu a infection is when you have a open wound and dangerous bacteria get into it and start attacking your immune system

A disiese is like cancer.an infection is a cut or patch that has no skin that got infected.

An infectious disease is a clinically evident disease resulting from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents, including pathogenic viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions. These pathogens are able to cause disease in animals and/or plants. Infectious pathologies are usually qualified as contagious diseases (also called communicable diseases) due to their potentiality of transmission from one person or species to another.[1] Transmission of an infectious disease may occur through one or more of diverse pathways including physical contact with infected individuals. These infecting agents may also be transmitted through liquids, food, body fluids, contaminated objects, airborne inhalation, or through vector-borne spread.[2] The term infectivity describes the ability of an organism to enter, survive and multiply in the host, while the infectiousness of a disease indicates the comparative ease with which the disease is transmitted to other hosts.[3] An infection however, is not synonymous with an infectious disease, as an infection may not cause important clinical symptoms or impair host function.

disease are usually more deadly than infections. infections can still kill u if u dont get them treated but they are a lot of bacteria. bacteria is a living thing rite? well if the thing is living then it can be killed and a disease is not alive. its just a disease. i dont much about disease but i do kno about STIs and STDs from my sex ed teacher. its scary!!! it makes u not wanna hav sex!!!!!

an infection is caused by a pathogen that uses the body it's infecting to multiply. a disease is the broad term for a number of ailments and this can also include infections.

Infection causes disease. Infections are caused by pathogens. Disease isn't necessarily caused by infection. Disease means not at ease or not well. Not in homeostasis.
