Basically, there are five different stages of infectious disease which include the incubation stage, the prodormal stage, the illness stage, the decline stage and the convalescence. Firstly, the incubation period is a period where there are no signs and symptoms detected while the virus is incubating.
Two of the most commonly used words in classifying disease are contagious disease and infectious disease. Let us differentiate one word from the other. Infectious disease is said to be the mother word of the terms such as contagious disease, communicable disease, and transmissible disease. Generally, infectious diseases are defined as the ability of a disease to enter a host, transmit the disease, and infect that person. An infectious disease can be sub-classified as contagious or non-contagious.
