{{See also|Cause (medicine)|Transmission (medicine)}}
Only some diseases such as [[influenza]] are contagious and commonly believed infectious. The [[microorganism]]s that cause these diseases are known as pathogens and include varieties of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. [[Infectious disease]]s can be transmitted, e.g. by hand-to-mouth contact with infectious material on surfaces, by bites of [[vector (epidemiology)|insects or other carriers]] of the disease, and from contaminated water or food (often via [[feces|fecal]] contamination), etc. Also, there are [[sexually transmitted disease]]s. In some cases, microorganisms that are not readily spread from person to person play a role, while other diseases can be prevented or ameliorated with appropriate [[nutrition]] or other lifestyle changes.
