Answer:

Infectious diseases are diseases that are spread from person to person, through the transfer of a pathogen such as bacteria, viruses, fungi etc. They are also called communicable diseases. Examples are SARS, influenza, the common cold, tuberculosis (TB) etc.

Whereas non-infectious diseases cannot be transmitted through a pathogen and are caused by a variety of other circumstantial factors. They are also called non-communicable diseases. Examples of non-infectious diseases include cancer, Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy.
