Viruses infect all types of organisms, from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea.A bacterium (singular) or bacteria (plural) are a large group of prokaryotic microorganisms. They are typically several micrometres in length, and are found in a wide range of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals.A fungi (singular) or fungus (plural) are a large group of eukaryotic organisms that include microorganisms such as yeasts and moulds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.A protozoon (singular) or protozoans (plural) are a diverse group of single-cell eukaryotic organisms, many of which are motile. Throughout history, protozoa have been defined as single-cell protists with animal-like behaviour, e.g., movement.
