malaria, measles, and malaria. For a contagious and infectious disease to occur and be
transmitted from one host to another, the biological and epidemiological principles of multicausation, spectrum infection, stages of infections, and spectrum of disease occurrence are
necessary. The principle of multi-causation is based on the notion that communicable disease
transmission is complex and involves more that one causes. Alone, an infectious agent cannot
cause disease. For this to occur, an environment which supports disease, the agent of disease, and
