Message definition (Disease)
When a disease is caused by a [[pathogen]]ic organism (e.g., when [[malaria]] is caused by ''[[Plasmodium]]''), one should not confuse the [[pathogen]] (the cause of the disease) with disease itself. For example, [[West Nile virus]] (the pathogen) causes [[West Nile fever]] (the disease). The misuse of basic definitions in [[epidemiology]] is frequent in scientific publications.
