• Cerebral palsy: It is a non - infectious disorder. It is caused by brain damage (such as during pregnancy, childbirth, or early childhood) that affects muscle control and movement. There is no pathogen (like bacteria, virus, etc.) that can be transmitted to cause this condition.
• Lyme disease: Caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by ticks. So it is an infectious disease.
• Tuberculosis: Caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It can be transmitted through the air (when an infected person coughs, sneezes, etc.). So it is an infectious disease.
