Yes, pathogens are agents capable of causing infections or some types of diseases. Pathogens are normally on our skin and any objects without causing problems. Not all pathogens succeed in their goal to find a host, but many pathogens do.
true
Pathogens can cause a wide range of diseases, including bacterial infections such as strep throat, viral infections like influenza, fungal infections such as athlete's foot, and parasitic diseases like malaria. The specific type of disease depends on the pathogen involved and how it affects the body.
Chronic diseases are often not caused by pathogens. Instead, they result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. However, some chronic diseases, such as hepatitis C and HIV, can be caused by pathogens.
Some diseases that are not caused by pathogens include genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and lifestyle-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes. These diseases arise from genetic mutations, malfunctioning immune responses, or other factors unrelated to pathogen infections.
Why cant people just look it up instead of sittin around waiting for other people to answer it. someone be the first to answer it look it up in every book you can find geeze people thats why i never use this website
Bacteria can be pathogens, but there are also many other types of pathogens. Bacteria are specific types of single celled organisms. Some bacteria cause disease, some do not. There are also lots of other types of organisms which can cause disease. These include, viruses, fungi, protozoa, yeast. Any organism that can cause disease is called a pathogen. (And yes, there is some debate about whether a virus is an organism. If it is not an organism then it would be classified as a toxin rather than a pathogen.)
The term pathogen is derived from the Greek παθογένεια, "birth of pain." or "that which produces suffering" and that's basically what a pathogen is. It is an agent that causes pain and suffering to its host through disease or illness. Put more simply, a pathogen is anything that causes a disease. The agents that cause these diseases are infectious microbes (more commonly known to people as germs or bugs) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. There are many different types of these agents and not all of them are infectious or harmful. In fact the majority of them are harmless and some even beneficial. Therefore it is important to remember, that pathogens refer specifically to those agents that can cause disease, illness or harm to its host. So yes, in answer to the question. pathogens are harmful bacteria (but not just bacteria) that cause disease.
Yes, some monerans, such as bacteria, can cause diseases in humans and other organisms. Examples of bacterial pathogens include Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Streptococcus. These organisms can cause a wide range of illnesses, from minor infections to life-threatening diseases.
all diseases are caused by bacteria or viruses. some example are flu (influenza virus) and swine flu (influenza A H1N1) and Meningococcemia (Meningococcus).
There are several different specific microbes that are identified to be the source of infectious diseases. The Rhinovirus causes colds. Varicella zoster causes chicken pox. Rubella causes German measles. Bordatella pertussis causes whooping cough. Yersinia pestis causes the Bubonic plague.
Yes, some protozoa can cause diseases in plants. They can infect plant roots and disrupt nutrient uptake, leading to stunted growth or even death in severe cases. Examples of protozoan plant pathogens include those belonging to the genera Plasmodiophora and Polymyxa.
