Disease-causing microbes can also be called pathogens, germs or bugs and are responsible for causing infectious diseases. Microorganisms are very diverse. They include all of the prokaryotes, namely the bacteria and archaea and various forms of eukaryotes, comprising the protozoa, fungi, algae, ...
1. Understanding Microorganisms: Microorganisms are tiny living organisms that can only be seen under a microscope. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. 2. Identifying Disease-Causing Microorganisms: Among these microorganisms, some are harmful and can cause diseases in humans, animals...
Microscopic organisms that are disease-causing agents are called What is skin fungus called? What skin diseases are caused by bacteria? What organisms cause infectious disease? What are the diseases caused by volvox? Who proved that microorganisms cause disease? What oral pathology lesion is associate...
What is influenza, what organism causes it, and what are the symptoms? Are there any microorganisms that inhabit the human body but do not cause disease? What are autoimmune diseases? Give some examples. State the etiology for the skin condition Tinea pedis. If the...
(a) (i) Elephantiasis : 1. It is caused by Wucheraria Bancrofti and Wucheraria Malayi. 2. They cause inflammation of the organs in which they live for many years. 3. They normally affect the lymph vessels of the lower limb causing them to swell lik
Different soil-borne pathogens cause patches of disease with different characteristics and the dynamic nature of soil-borne diseases depends on the species of microorganisms causing disease. For instance, take-all disease caused by G. graminis var. tritici (Ggt) occurs in patches and the occurrence...
The study of microorganisms, the most abundant living entities on Earth, aims to understand their unique biology and the influence they have on human health, disease, and life in general. Here, we highlight work that furthers our understanding of the microbial world. ...
Conventionally, infection is thought of as a process that involves the interaction between two entities: disease-causing microorganisms and the human body. But, researchers have come to recognize that there’s an important third entity involved: the large community of microorganisms that normally li...
Inactivated or killed vaccines consist of preparations of isolated and amplified disease-inducing microorganisms which are subsequently made incompetent for replication by various inactivation methods, including heat-inactivation, chemical inactivation or radiation. Usually, these vaccine induce less strong or ...
These two pathways are antagonistic to each other. The repeated induction of plant defenses by these pathways, induced by the presence of pathogens by mechanisms (called systemic acquired resistance (SAR)) or plant beneficial microorganisms (called induced systemic resistance (ISR)), leads to the ...
