notifiable disease

Any disease of humans or animals that must be notified, by law, to a health officer or local authority. The majority of these diseases are serious infectious diseases, such as meningitis, tetanus, and whooping cough in humans and anthrax and foot and mouth in sheep and cows. Some industrial diseases, such as lung diseases related to the inhalation of asbestos, are also notifiable.
