From the CDC:
"Disease is a breakdown in structures or functions of an organism. Some diseases are the result of intrinsic failures of the system. Others are the result of damage by infection by other organisms.
The severity of disease symptoms is dependent on many factors such as human resistance and the virulence of the disease-producing organism. Many diseases can be prevented, controlled or cured. Some diseases such as cancer, result from specific body dysfunctions and cannot be transmitted."
