    Diseases can be caused by a variety of factors including pathogens, genetics, environmental factors, and problems with organ systems. Pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and protists can be transmitted between organisms through various means like insects, contaminated water or air, or direct contact. The body has multiple lines of defense against diseases including skin, mucus membranes, stomach acids, and white blood cells and antibodies. Diseases are managed through repairing damaged systems using medicines, surgery, or behavioral changes, or by developing immunities against communicable diseases through natural exposure or vaccination. Diseases can be classified as communicable, spread between individuals, or non-communicable.
