Pathogens
-
Bacteria
- Bacteria are microscopic organisms that come in many shapes and sizes. But even the largest ones are only 10 micrometres long - 1 micrometre = 1 millionth of a metre.
-
Virus
- Viruses are many times smaller than bacteria. They consist of a fragment of genetic material inside a protective protein coat.
-
Fungi
- Larger fungi include moulds and mushrooms. Microscopic fungi can cause diseases such as athlete’s foot.
-
Protozoa
- Some are parasites
- Protozoa are single-celled organisms. Food contaminated with protozoa can cause infections such as amoebic dysentery, of which severe diarrhoea is a symptom. Some protozoa are parasites. These organisms live on, or inside, another organism and cause it harm. Malaria is a disease caused by protozoa that live in the blood. It is passed to a person by an insect vector, the mosquito.
