Pathogens are any organisms that can cause disease in humans; this includes a variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi and proteinaceous infectious material (such as prions). By definition, a human becomes infected with a pathogen through exposure and potentially develops disease related to that infection with a pathogen.

What best describes a pathogen?
A pathogen is a microscopic organism, such as a virus, bacterium, fungus, or parasite, that causes disease in its host. Pathogens can infect humans, animals, plants, and even other microorganisms.
How do humans develop active immunity by articial and natural means?
Humans can develop active immunity naturally through exposure to a pathogen, which triggers an immune response and the production of antibodies. Artificially, active immunity can be induced through vaccination by administering weakened or inactivated forms of a pathogen, prompting the immune system to produce memory cells for future protection against that specific pathogen.
