Schistosomiasis is a major parasitic disease (also known as Bilharzia and snail fever) infecting humans and domestic livestock, and caused by several species of flatworms in the genusSchistosoma. Snails serve as the intermediary agent between mammalian hosts. Individuals within developing countries who cannot afford proper sanitation facilities are often exposed to contaminated water containing the infected snails.
Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic worms called Schistosoma. These worms infect humans through contact with contaminated water sources where the parasites live.
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the pathogen that causes mononucleosis, also known as "mono" or the "kissing disease."
Anything that causes disease is considered to be pathogenic. This includes viruses and bacteria. People who come in contact with certain of these organisms may become very ill.

Hepatitis is caused by blood borne pathogens. The pathogens themselves conveniently share similar names to the type of hepatitis they cause: The pathogen that causes Hepatitus A is known as the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), the pathogen that causes Hepatitus B is known as the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and the pathogen that causes Hepatitus C is known as the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
