or enabling the formation of a detection signal so that the presence of each target is indicated by the formation of a signal at the capture zone for that target; wherein the target for at least two of the capture moieties is a disease causing micro-organism or a marker indicating the ...
on the epidemiology of the pathogen, although it is directly related to the ability of the infectious agent for persisting in the environment, the environmental conditions allowing the survival of the microorganism, and the movements of fomites, livestock, and other elements that may be contaminated...
infectious disease, in medicine, a process caused by an agent, often a type of microorganism, that impairs a person’s health. In many cases, infectious disease can be spread from person to person, either directly (e.g., via skin contact) or indirectly (e.g., via contaminated food or ...
In what ways might a microorganism's ability to grow at low or high temperatures be reflected in the structure or expression of various proteins? How can the spread of disease-causing microorganisms be prevented through regular hand washing and cleaning of shared surfaces?
Like any other pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganism, a variety of factors influences the phenotype, the clinical expression of MAP infection; whether an individual develops one disease caused by MAP or another. Not everyone infected by a pathogenic microorganism develops a disease caused by that...

A disease caused by a microorganism. Intermediate Host An organism that is necessary for a pathogenic organism at some stage of its life cycle, cf. host. Lentivirus Virus with delayed effects causing symptoms a long time after infection. Nosocomial Infection originating in a hospital environment. ...
An adverse localized or systemic infectious condition occurring in a healthcare setting with no evidence that the infection was present at the time of admission. Pathogen A biological organism capable of causing disease or illness to its host. Prion The smallest infectious particle. It is an infect...
“Disease-causing agent” refers to a microorganism, pathogen or virulence factor with a demonstrated or putative role in infection.AntibodiesA schematic of camelid heavy chain only antibodies and their relationship to VHH domains and complementarity determining regions (CDRs) is shown in FIG. 2A A...
An abnormal process affecting the structure or function of a part, organ or system of the body. It is typically manifested by signs and symptoms, but the aetiology may or may not be known. Disease is a response to a specific infective agent (a microorganism or a poison), to environmental...
