Germs can reproduce quickly, with bacteria potentially doubling in number every 20 minutes under ideal conditions. Viruses can also replicate rapidly, with some producing thousands of new viruses in a single infected cell. The speed of germ reproduction can vary based on factors such as temperature, moisture, and nutrient availability.
when you get a disease you are said to be INFECTED by it .
Bacteria can be transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals, ingestion of contaminated food or water, inhalation of respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, or contact with contaminated surfaces. It can also be transmitted through insect bites or exposure to infected animals.
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and someone else inhales the bacteria. Close and prolonged contact with an infected person is usually required for transmission to occur.
No. viruses are smaller and can only reproduce inside another living cellbacteria are bigger and can reproduce unaided. Also, viruses are nonliving.No. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms, while viruses are non-living, they consist of a string of DNA or RNA inside a protein coat.
Some can. Generally the reproduce faster - until they use up their environment (or get infected) and then they die off.
Viruses reproduce within a cell. They reproduce asexually. The Ebola virus reproduces asexually. However, sometimes a cell is infected by two different viruses at the same time. Part or parts of one virus can get into another virus. So while the reproduction is not really sexual, it does involve parts from two different viruses. The Ebola virus could change by adding parts from another virus.
Meningitis is not a living organism and therefore cannot reproduce. It is caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that infect the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These microorganisms can be transmitted through respiratory secretions, contaminated food or water, or close contact with an infected person.
Most bacteria reproduce very rapidly
Older children are more frequently infected by the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Streptococci pneumoniae.
Heartworms reproduce sexually. Male and female worms mate inside the host (usually in the heart or lungs of dogs or other animals) and produce microfilariae, which are small larvae released into the bloodstream. When a mosquito bites an infected animal, it ingests these microfilariae, which then develop into infective larvae inside the mosquito.
well its simple. t36 granulocytes are damaged by the invasion of the HIV virus, which makes use of this host's apparatus to reproduce asexually, and after all this has been done then the infected cell will burst. red blood cells are damaged by Protoctista (plasmodium) where by they are infected and eventually burst
Ticks get infected with the Lyme disease bacteria when they feed on an infected animal, such as mice or deer. The bacteria then multiply and are passed on to other hosts, including humans, through the tick's bite while feeding.
When a hair follicle becomes infected with bacteria it becomes irritated. When a hair follicle becomes infected it might fall out.

Yes, animals can be infected by bacteria.
