The two important contributory causes of diseases are Under nourishment and Genetic make up.
Explanation: The diseases are caused by lack of nutrients or passed on from heredity from parents to off springs. The diseases caused due to lack of nutrition are Scurvy, Rickets. Some genetic disorders are inherited from the parents, while other genetic diseases are caused by acquired changes or mutations in a pre-existing gene or group of genes. The genetically acquired disease are Down syndrome and Cystic fibrosis.

Microbes are the immediate causes of infectious diseases.

Explanation:

Most microbes belong to four major groups: bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi. (To find out more, see the “Bacteria/ Viruses/ Protozoa” fact sheets). Disease-causing microbes can also be called pathogens, germs or bugs and are responsible for causing infectious diseases.

Health is defined as physical, mental and social well - being and comfort.
Explanation: Health: Health is defined as physical, mental and social well - being and comfort. Being healthy means one feels good physically, has positive outlook and is able to cope with the social and mental pressures without much difficulty.

Hepatitis targets liver.

Any organisms capable of producing a disease is called Pathogen.
Explanation: A pathogen or infectious agent is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host. pathogens can infect unicellular organisms from all of the biological kingdoms.

Pneumonia targets lung.

Common cold is acute disease.
Explanation:
Common cold is acute disease.

Acute disease continues for a few days and causes no longer term effect on body.
Explanation: Acute: Acute diseases continues for a few days and causes no longer term effect on body, e.g., Indude cold, cough, typhoid, cholera, etc.

Fungal disease targets skins.

Diseases present from the birth are called Congenital.
Explanation: A congenital disorder, also known as a congenital disease, deformity, birth defect, or anomaly, is a condition existing at or before birth regardless of cause. Of these disorders, those characterized by structural deformities are termed "congenital anomalies" and involve defects in a developing fetus.

Many skin diseases are caused by _________.

Cholera is caused by Bacterium but malaria is caused by Protozoan.
Explanation: Cholera is an infection of the small intestine by some strains of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Symptoms may range from none, to mild, to severe. Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans belonging to the Plasmodium type.

Pneumonia is an example of Infectious disease.

The organism which spread the disease from an infected to a healthy person is called Vector.
Explanation: Vectors are living organisms that can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from animals to humans. Many of these vectors are bloodsucking insects, which ingest disease-producing microorganisms during a blood meal from an infected host (human or animal) and later inject it into a new host during their subsequent blood meal. Mosquitoes are the best known disease vector. Others include ticks, flies, sand flies, fleas, triatomine bugs and some freshwater aquatic snails.
