Pathogens
Microorganism that cause infectious diseases. They depend on their hosts to provide the conditions and nutrients they need to grow and reproduce.
Pathogens can be
Viruses
Bacteria
Protist
Fungi
How are pathogens spread?
Contaminated food and water pass through the mouth
Microorganisms in the air enter the nose
Microorganisms enter through the skin when skin is cut, bitten by insects or infected needles are used
Sexually transmitted diseases can be caught through the contact with infected reproductive organs
Bacteria and viruses
B- produce toxins that damage tissues and make us feel ill
V- live and reproduce inside cells, damaging them
Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF)
Symptoms-fever,headache,diarrhoea,nausea and rashes
Prevention- reduce contact with infected animals, wear protective clothing, wash hand frequently, isolation of infected people and safe burials of the dead, travel restrictions
Bacteria
Salmonella
Gonorrhoea (STD)
B symptoms

S- chicken gets vaccinated, prepare food in hygienic conditions
G- condom, antibiotics
Viruses
Measles
HIV
TMV (tobacco mosaic virus)
V Symptoms
M- fever, red rash

TMV- leaves discoloured mosaic pattern, reduce photosynthesis
V transmission/ spread
M- droplet infection
HIV- direct contact
TMV- enters plant via wounds
V control measures and treatment
M- vaccinations (MMR vaccine)

Can be purple
Spreads rapidly
F Transmission/spread
Water Wind Optimum temp 24 Spores realised in warm wet conditions 7 hours to germinate Symptoms show after 3-10 days Spores produce every 3 weeks
F control measures & treatment
Burn leaves Compost (especially mulch) Fungicide Pruning(fertilise afterwards) Sterilise tools
Protist
Malaria
