The pathogenesis of communicable diseases is the process by which the disease is spread from one person to another through contact or exposure. this can occur through direct contact with an infected person, contact with contaminated objects, or exposure to the infectious agent in the environment. the infectious agent is then transmitted from the infected person to the uninfected person, either through direct physical contact, by inhalation, or by ingestion. the infectious agent then enters the body of the uninfected person, where it multiplies and causes the disease.
