Communicable disease means an illness due to a specific disease producing agent (virus, bacteria, etc.) or its toxic products which arises through transmission of that agent or its products from an infected person, animal or other reservoir to a susceptible host--either directly as from an infected person or animal, or indirectly through the agency of an intermediate plant or animal host, vector or the inanimate environment.
