What is rusts scientific name?
The scientific name for rust is "Puccinia." This is a genus of fungi that includes many species of rust pathogens that can infect various plants.
What four ways that pathogens can infect humans?
Pathogens can infect humans through inhalation of respiratory droplets, contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, ingestion of contaminated food or water, and through bites from infected animals.
Does hiv infect plants?
HIV does not infect plants. It affects humans.
What does Caulimoviridae infect?
Caulimoviridea are retro viruses that infect plants.
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.
Can you reuse soil that has root rot for planting new plants?
No, it is not recommended to reuse soil that has root rot for planting new plants as it may contain harmful pathogens that can infect the new plants. It is best to discard the contaminated soil and use fresh, sterile soil for planting.
What are plant pathogens?
Plant Pathogens are organisms in the plants, that can cause plants to become diseased.
What do pathegens need when they grow?
Pathogens need body tissue to infect and warmth and moisture to grow.
Do viruses only infect only animals?
No, they dont, they can infect plants and bacteria too.
Can you use apples from a diseased apple tree?
Yes, you can eat most diseased plants safely be it cooked or uncooked because the pathogens infecting the plants cannot infect you. There are very few pathogens which are considered "opportunistic pathogens" who will infect both people and plants. That being said, a diseased plant may not be edible in terms of flavor or texture so if possible it is usually just preferred to eat healthy produce. A surface infection like flyspeck or sooty blotch on an apple for example will not bother you.
What is the difference between pathogens and opportunistic organisms?
Pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease in a healthy host, whereas opportunistic organisms are typically harmless, but can cause infection in hosts with weakened immune systems. Pathogens are generally more virulent and cause disease more readily than opportunistic organisms.
Which pathogens are live in human body as well in plants?
Bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be quoted as an example. P. aeruginosa, as you know, causes nosocomial infections, burn infections etc. It may infect plants also, causing blights, soft rots etc. There are other species of Pseudomonas which infect both, but mostly they are predominant in causing infections at any one level. There are many plant pathogens that cause skin infections(for example) in animals; but the vice versa, ie an animal pathogen infecting a plant is unheard of(or poorly studied!)
