Infectious diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses while inherited diseases are those that can be passed on through your genes. You can inherit a certain genetic trait that can cause a disease.

An infectious disease is caused by an opportunistic contact with a virus or bacteria.
An "inherited" disease comes from your genetic inheritance (from your family medical history).
