Microorganisms

Back 2

also known as microbes, are the microscopic organisms we see in a microscope.

Lifestyle of a microorganism

Back 16

Most live in a free area, but some are parasites, which live in a host cell like an intruder.

What is a pathogen?

Back 17

a disease causing organism

Front 18

Worldwide Infectious disease

Back 18

there is an increasing number of diseases that we didn't know were that serious until they have hit the populations hard.
