About this document
Infectious Agents: Viruses, Bacteria, Parasites, Fungi by Fadhilla fadsya01 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Viruses are the smallest infectious agents and consist of genetic material surrounded by a protein coating. They cannot replicate outside host cells. Bacteriophages infect bacteria and can be used to test disinfectants. Bacteria are larger than viruses, have DNA and cellular machinery, and acquire energy like humans. Parasites have cells like human cells with nuclei and can be single or multi-celled. Fungi are eukaryotes that infect humans as spores, molds or yeasts and threaten immunocompromised people.
