Communicable diseases are the ones that can spread from the infected person to a healthy person.
Measles is caused by a virus which is rubella virus. It is characterized by fever, inflammation of nasal mucous membrane, red watery eyes sensitive to light, flushed face followed by a typical rash. The incubation period is about 10 days. It is a communicable disease and can transfer from one individual to another.
Other diseases are not communicable and do not spread.
