"Malaria was a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans and other animals, caused by single-celled microorganisms belonging to-..."

"Huntington's disease was an inherited disorder that resulted in the deaths of-..." "Tuberculosis was an infectious disease usually caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria-..." ...
