Answer:

Disease caused by close contact or touch

Explanation:

Pathogens are disease-causing organisms. A wide range of organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, helminths could cause diseases in man. The pathogens are grouped into two types-

infectious/contagious/communicable. (e.g.common cold)

non-infectious/non-contagious/noncommunicable(e.g.cancer)

The pathogens transmitted to the host body by touching, coughing, sneezing or by close contact are called as contagions.
