What do you call an organism that carries diseases or plasmids or viruses or bacteria?

It is called a disease carrier, or vector.


What is a organism that carries disease transport genes into a host cell refers to the term?

A vector is an organism that carries disease-causing genes into a host cell, allowing the genes to be incorporated into the host's genome. This process often occurs in genetic engineering and gene therapy techniques.


What is vector in biology?

A vector in Biology is a carrier /transporter of a virus fungi or bacteria. For example a plasmid is a vector that carries genetic information to a cell, and the mosquito is the vector of the malaria causing parasite.


What effect will a virus in the Lysogenic cycle have on organism?

It will have no direct effect on the organism ::x: It will cause a disease in the organism.


A pathogenic organism is one that causes a?

a pathogenic organism is an organism that is harmful to human cell rebuildingany organism which is causing any infection or disease causing alterations our immune system are called pathogenic organisms. the organisms like bacteria virus fungi can be termed as pathogens. the organism can be pathogenic by it self causing sever damage to the immune system or the metabolocal toxins released as byproduct.Path means disease. -gen means to make. It really helps to learn medical terminology. The word then means to make a disease. So a pathogenic organism is one that produces a disease.See link below:Pathogenesis is the creation of disease; when this genesis of disease is caused by [usually] microscopic organisms these microbes are said to be pathogenic.

What carries disease?

For a disease to continue and spread, there must be a continual source of the disease organism. This source can be either a living organism or an inanimate object. :D


An organism that carries a disease-causing microorganism from one host to another?

An organism that carries a disease-causing microorganism from one host to another is called a vector. An example of a vector is a deer tick carrying Lyme disease.


What is a biological vector?

A biological vector is an organism that carries disease from one host into another. Some examples include rats, mice, houseflies and mosquitoes.


What is pathogenic?

Is a disease a microscopic organism?

no


Can plants be vectors?

I can't think of any examples where plants are vectors of disease. Typically a disease vector is an organism that moves a disease causing organism from one host to the next. It's hard to imagine how a plant could do this, except in the dispersal stages of plants' life histories (pollen and seeds, mainly). I do not know of any examples where a pollen grain or a seed carries a disease from one host to the next, but I won't say that it is an impossible scenario.


What is an ifectious disease?

An infectious disease is a disease that can pass from one organism to another.
