Heredity diseases differ from communicable diseases in the mode of treatment. Communic Communicable able disease are spread from one person to another via pathogens .Communicable diseases can be easily treated based on the severity of the disease however it is difficult to treat a heredity disease.common communicable diseases such as sore throat and the flu can be tretmed with rest and over the counter medications such as nasal decongestants, cough syrups,

anti-nausea pills and throat drops. Common communicable diseases usually dissipate over the course of a few days or weeks.Chronic communicable diseases are more severe as compared to common communicable diseases .Chronic communicable dieases are spread via parasites, sexual contact or transmission of bodily fluids like blood. Unlike throat colds or other common illnesses, chronic communicable diseases may last months or even a lifetime. Examples of chronic communicable disease include malaria, Lyme disease, diphtheria and hepatitis. Treatment for chronic communicable diseases usually involves some form of hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, prescription medication and intensive care.One effective effective way to treat any communicable disease whether common or chronic is by receiving a vaccine before your body becomes infected. Vaccines work by infecting your body with a  weakened strain of the actual disease. Your body then produces produces antibodies to fight the disease. Antibodies Antibodies remain in the system after the weakened strain is gone and protect the body from later l ater infections.Certain  vaccines need only only to be administered once, such such as vaccines for mum mumps, ps, measles, whooping cough cough and polio. Others, like the flu vaccine, should be taken annually.However most heredity diseases cannot be cured , but there are treatments available to manage the disease .Whilst treatment treatment for communicable disease is widespread for the public , treatment for heredity disease remains unavaible for the wider population because gene therpy is only used for clinical trials.Gene trials .Gene therapy replaces the mutated gene  with a healthy gene or manipulates manipulates or turns off the gene which causes the disease .gene therapy poses a risk of potentially serious complications complications due to the use of viruses when inserting the the healthy genes .In some gene therapy clinical trials, cells from the patient's blood or  bone  bone marrow are removed and grown in the laboratory. The cells are exposed to the virus that is carrying the desired gene. The virus enters the cells and inserts the desired gene into the cells’ DNA. The cells grow in the laboratory and are then returned to the  the  patient by injection into a vein. This type of gene therapy is called  called ex vivo because the cells are grown outside the body. The gene is transferred into the patient's cells while the cells are outside the patient's body
