helminths
The genetics and physiology of microorganisms, their interactions with the environment, and many other subjects regarding microbes, are all studied in the larger field of
microbiology
Within microbiology, the study of small, single-celled prokaryotic organisms that does not include the Archaea is called
bacteriology
Microbiology has many branches of study, including
which is the study of pathogenic protozoa, helminth worms, and certain insects
parasitology
Heterotrophic unicellular or multicellular eukaryotic organisms including yeasts, molds, and mushrooms, are called
fungi
The group of single-celled eukaryotic organisms that lack a cell wall are the
protozoa
