Infectious diseases, also known as communicable diseases, can be transmitted from one individual to another, while non-infectious diseases cannot. The video provides definitions and examples of each type, including microorganisms like viruses and bacteria for infectious diseases, and genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors for non-infectious diseases. The tutorial aims to help students understand and compare these disease types.
