How do viruses cause disease (the effect(s) on host cells or tissues that cause disease)? Name a specific virus and the disease it causes and how it causes the disease. This is not about the stages of the virus life cycle. Describe...
How do pathogenic fungi penetrate their host? Explain the mechanism. What can we do to protect ourselves from resistant strains of bacteria, and how can we control pests, like rats, and mice, that are now becoming immune to the poisons developed to keep them under control? (a) What ...

Step-by-Step Solution:Step 1: Define Infectious Diseases Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These diseases can be transmitted from one in
A group of superficial fungi that are parasitic or saprophytic on the skin and hair and cause skin diseases. Also known as filamentous fungi. It can be divided into two categories according to the growth site: Dermatophytes that parasitize keratin tissue and cause inflammation are called derma...
Fungi play essential roles in ecosystems, and plant pathogenic fungi have significant impacts on global food security. However, the phenology of plant pathogenic fungi, which form a huge and diverse clade of organisms, has received limited attention in the literature. This diversity may have limited...
Causes: These pathogenic fungi can attack young seedlings above, below, or at the soil line. The disease is most active in wet, moist soils. Pine seedlings are susceptible to the disease for a short period and will outgrow their vulnerability. Wind, insects, and water can all carry the ...
How do viruses differ from other microbes?Microbes:Microbes are small particles which may be either living or nonliving and which cannot be seen with the naked eye. Some examples of microbes include bacteria, viruses, and fungi.Answer and Explanation: ...
How do viruses cause disease (the effect(s) on host cells or tissues that cause disease)? Name a specific virus and the disease it causes and how it causes the disease. This is not about the stages of the virus life cycle. Explain how viruses can transform human cells, leading ...
