Another name for pathogens is "infectious agents." This term encompasses a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that can cause disease in hosts. Pathogens are responsible for a wide range of illnesses, from mild infections to severe diseases.
What else can I help you with?
What is another name for a disease causing microorganisms?
Pathogens
What is another name for bacteria that causes disease?
Germs and pathogens are other names for bacteria that can cause disease.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
What occurs when pathogens are transferred from one surface to another?
When pathogens are transferred from one surface to another, it can lead to the contamination of the new surface. This can increase the risk of infection if individuals come into contact with the contaminated surface. Regular cleaning and proper hygiene practices can help reduce the spread of pathogens between surfaces.
What name is given to animals such as the mosquito that carry pathogens?
vectors
Who discovered pathogens in the 1800s?
Who in the name discovered pathogens? i wanna know please....hey that rymhmed (not sure i spelled that right, but close enough!)
What is the relationship between pathogens and vectors?
Vectors are living organisms that can transmit pathogens from one host to another. For example, mosquitoes are vectors that can transmit diseases such as malaria and dengue fever by carrying and transmitting the pathogens that cause these diseases. Pathogens rely on vectors to help them spread and infect new hosts.
What is the name given to cancer-causing genes?
Pathogens.
What is the organism which causes Yellow Jaundice called?
u cause jaundice since the microorganisms in ur body spread to another person.
What occurred when pathogens are tranfered from one surface to another?
When pathogens are transferred from one surface to another, they can potentially contaminate the new surface, leading to the risk of infection if a person comes into contact with it. This transfer can occur through direct touch, airborne particles, or contaminated objects. The viability of the pathogens depends on factors such as the type of pathogen, the surface material, and environmental conditions. Effective cleaning and disinfection practices are essential to mitigate the spread of these pathogens.
Name three of the possible forms pathogens can take?
bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
What are the different ways in which pathogens are transmitted?
Pathogens can be transmitted through various routes, including direct contact, where an infected person touches another individual; airborne transmission, where pathogens are carried by droplets or aerosols; vector-borne transmission, involving insects or animals that spread pathogens; and contaminated surfaces or fomites, where pathogens linger on objects that people touch. Additionally, some pathogens can be transmitted via food or water that is contaminated. Understanding these transmission methods is crucial for implementing effective prevention strategies.
