| Disease that can be passed from one living thing to another | Infectious |
| Disease that is NOT spread from one living to another | Non-infectious |
| Substance that causes a persons cells to mutate. | Mutagen |
| Disease causing agent | Pathogen |
| Organism that transmits a pathogen from a host to a new organism.(Mosquito) | Vector |
