Cystic fibrosis is not an infectious disease but a genetic disease, provoked by mutations fo the CFTR gene, mainly inherited.
virus infection
Any organism that causes a disease to it's host is considered to be a pathogen. A pathogen can be a bacteria, virus or a fungus. For example Bacterium -Strep Throat and Meningitis Virus - Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C Fungus - Athelete's Foot
A microbe that attacks body cells is called a pathogen. Pathogens can include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that invade host cells and cause diseases.
Salmonella typhae a kind of bacteria responsible for typhoid

Inheritance - Autosomal recessive, requires mutations on both alleles - A single gene on chromosome 7, which encodes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator - There are over 1000 different mutations for this gene - The most common is Delta F508, which makes up 67% of all mutations in the Caucasian population - Caucasians most effected
All kinds of people. If you have recently suffered from measles or chicken pox you can easily catch it just stay away from pets and farm animals and you should be fine!
The type of pathogen that causes cholera is bacteria... one called Vibrio Cholerae (V. Cholerae). It's a gram-negative thingamajig - no idea what that is, sadly.
CF is caused by a defective chloride ion channel. There's a mutation in gene that codes for the protein which forms the channel. Chloride ions pass through it.
cystic fibrosis is a genetic code, so its not really molecules that cause it, however its more of a DNA mutation that's happened when your born. this means that your mucus cells don't function properly and when they are created, they are made with the wrong gene coding and so will produce more mucus than they're supposed to which is what forms in the lungs. i think that's right and i hope it helps :)
Cystic Acne causes very deep, painful acne that can leave scars.
Sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis are carried on autosomes (chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes). Probably too many to list . . Right now, off the top of my head, I can think of Down's Syndrome (21st chromosome) and the "cri du chat" (5th chromosome) . . .
There are a range of different health management services available in Toronto including, mental health, substance abuse, heart and stroke foundation, cancer care, cystic fibrosis and kidney foundation
fungi
CF develops early in childhood, the most common at 3 months. Simple genetic tests can tell you if you carry the gene that produces CF. CF is found in chromosome 7 and has 3 'ladder steps' missing. This results in the child having CF.
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.
