What are the most 10 infectious diseases?

i think 10 most infectious diseases are...
Common cold,
Cholera
Measles
Rabies
Hepatitis
AIDS
tuberculosis
small pox
typhoid
yellow fever

The top most infectious disease is ignorance followed by fear and then poverty etc. Disease means many things - not only the definition given by Dr. Webster Report It

I would say:
Smallpox
Measles (it is very contagious)
Adenovirus (contagious)
Ebola
M. tuberculosis infection
HIV
Hepatitis
Influenza A
Strep pneunoniae
Mumps

not in that order mind. It depends on how you mean as well: most pathogenic, most contagious or highest mortality rate. Eg rabies: not many cases in the west, but almost all end up in death.
