Number of deaths due to infectious and parasitic diseases Castile-La Mancha 2005-2017

* An infectious disease is the clinical manifestation of an infection caused by a microorganism (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.). On the other hand, if the infection is caused by protozoa, worms or arthropods, it is called parasitic disease. This type of disease can be spread directly from the infected individual, from secretions, skin or mucous membranes or, indirectly, through the air, from an inanimate object or food that came in contact with the infected person. These diseases include HIV / AIDS and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
