Chapter Overview
A disease is a condition that affects the normal functioning of the body. Diseases can be caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, or by non-infectious factors such as genetic disorders, nutritional deficiencies and environmental conditions.
Pathogens are disease-causing organisms that enter the body and disrupt normal biological processes. Different pathogens cause different diseases and spread through various methods, including contaminated food, water, air and direct contact. Understanding pathogens helps in preventing and controlling diseases.
The human body has defense mechanisms that protect it against harmful microorganisms. Immunity is the ability of the body to resist infections and diseases. The immune system identifies pathogens, destroys them and helps protect the body from future infections. This chapter explains the causes of diseases, types of pathogens and the importance of immunity in maintaining health.
