A disease is                usually deep-seated and permanent, or at least                prolonged; a disorder is often slight, partial, and                temporary; malady has less of a technical sense than the                other terms, and refers more especially to the suffering                endured. In a figurative sense we speak of a disease                mind, of disordered faculties, and of mental maladies.

Germ \Germ\, n. [F. germe, fr. L. germen, germinis, sprout, but,       germ. Cf. {Germen}, {Germane}.]       1. (Biol.)

See {Biogenesis}, and {Abiogenesis}. As             applied to the origin of disease, the theory claims that             the zymotic diseases are due to the rapid development and             multiplication of various bacteria, the germs or spores of             which are either contained in the organism itself, or             transferred through the air or water.
