Best Answer

Non-Infectious Diseases are not caused by things entering the body but by things in the body changing for some reason. An example of a non-infectious disease would be something like Parkinsons. We don't really know what causes it and it cannot be transmitted to another person.

What are similarities between infectious and noninfectious diseases?

infectious diseases involve a causative organism, from groups such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and such. Noninfectious diseases are not caused by a specific infectious organism. You get an infective disease from a bacteria or a virus or even a fungus. Other diseases are not caused by these but by other things. For example: cancer.
