An organism that carries disease to another possible host is a vector or carrier.
Vector,Microoganism,Or pollutan
It is called a disease carrier, or vector.
A vector in Biology is a carrier /transporter of a virus fungi or bacteria. For example a plasmid is a vector that carries genetic information to a cell, and the mosquito is the vector of the malaria causing parasite.
It will have no direct effect on the organism ::x: It will cause a disease in the organism.
Parasite is an organism, that lives off another organism. Pathogen is something that causes disease in another organism. So the answer is "Yes". eg Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite.

A pathogen is a disease carrying organism.

Vector :)
For a disease to continue and spread, there must be a continual source of the disease organism. This source can be either a living organism or an inanimate object. :D
An organism that carries a disease-causing microorganism from one host to another is called a vector. An example of a vector is a deer tick carrying Lyme disease.
A biological vector is an organism that carries disease from one host into another. Some examples include rats, mice, houseflies and mosquitoes.
A pathogen is an organism that can cause a disease.
A vector in Biology is a carrier /transporter of a virus fungi or bacteria. For example a plasmid is a vector that carries genetic information to a cell, and the mosquito is the vector of the malaria causing parasite.

I can't think of any examples where plants are vectors of disease. Typically a disease vector is an organism that moves a disease causing organism from one host to the next. It's hard to imagine how a plant could do this, except in the dispersal stages of plants' life histories (pollen and seeds, mainly). I do not know of any examples where a pollen grain or a seed carries a disease from one host to the next, but I won't say that it is an impossible scenario.
