Communicable
Diseases
- Types of pathogens
- Bacteria are prokaryotes so do not have membrane
bound nucleas or organelles. They can be classified by
there shapes or by there cel walls. They have two
different types of cell walls:gram-positive and
gram-negative. This is useful to us because there type
of cell wall affects how bacteria react to antibodies. The
cell wall type is found out by Gram staining
- Viruses are non-living infectious agents. There structure is
genetic material surrrounded by protein. Virususes work by
invading a living cell and taking over the biochemistry of the
host cell to make more viruses. they reproduce rapidly and
develope adaptations to the host making them successful
pathogens viruses that attack bacteria are known as
bacteriopahges. Thye can used in order to identify and treat
diseases
- Protocista are a group of euklaryotes with a wide range of
feeding methods. small percentage of protocista acts as
pathogens causing devestating communicable disease in
both plants and animals and use people or animals as host
orgnaisms. Pathogenic protocists need vectors to transport
them eg malaria and sleeping sickness or enter the body
through polluted water
- Fungi are eukaryote organisms that are often multicellular.
Fungi cannot photosynthesise. Many fungi are sacrophages so
they fee of dead and decaying matter but some are parasitic and
feed on living plants and animals and cause communicable
diseaese. they can killl a plant by preventing photosynthiesis at
the leaf. They can spread quickly through plant colonies.
