Protozoa: a single-celled organism. Plasmodium, which causes malaria, is an example. ...

Helminths: worm parasites. Schistosomiasis is caused by a helminth. ...

Ectoparasites: these live on, rather than in their hosts, these include lice and fleas

# data[].attributes.body
A host in which parasites reproduce sexually is known as the definitive, final or primary host. in intermediate hosts, parasites either do not or do asexually, but the parasite always develops to a new stage in this type of host

# data[].attributes.body
A parasite is an organism that lives in another organism, called the host, and often harms it. It is dependent on its host for survival - it has to be in the host to live, grow and multiply.

Characteristics. As originally defined, parasites included any organisms that live by drawing food from a host organism.

# data[].attributes.body
an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

Single-celled yeasts reproduce asexually by budding. A single yeast cell can produce up to 24 offspring. Fungi that make hyphae can reproduce asexually as well. Bits of the hyphae can break off and continue to grow as separate entities, or can form stalks containing seed-like spores.

# data[].attributes.body
The majority of fungi - except for the one-celled oranisms - are composed of hyphae; threadlike tubular filaments. Hyphae is the plural of hypha. A hypha has a rigid wall around it generally made of chitin.

# data[].attributes.body
Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae. An interwoven mass of hyphae is called a mycelium.

The walls of hyphae are often strengthened with chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine. ...

Fungi disperse themselves by releasing spores, usually windblown. ...

Fungi are heterotrophic

# data[].attributes.body
A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular fungi that produce familiar fruiting forms known as mushrooms

Common pathogenic bacteria and the types of bacterial diseases they cause include: Escherichia coli and Salmonella cause food poisoning. Helicobacter pylori cause gastritis and ulcers. Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. Neisseria meningitidis causes meningitis.

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two

# data[].attributes.body
Bacteria have pili, flagella and a cell capsule (most of them), unlike animal or plant cells. An organism without a nucleus is called a prokaryote.

# data[].attributes.body
Bacteria are like eukaryotic cells in that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane

# data[].attributes.body
Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals

# data[].attributes.body
the virus attaches itself to a specific host cell (the cell in which it will reproduce) the virus injects its genetic material into the host cell. the host cell uses the genetic material to make new viruses. the host cell splits open, releasing the viruses.

# data[].attributes.body
A virus is made up of a core of genetic material, either DNAor RNA, surrounded by a protective coat called a capsid which is made up of protein

# data[].attributes.body
Because most viruses are extremely well adapted to their host organism, virus structure varies greatly. However, there are some general structural characteristics that all viruses share. All viruses have a capsid or head region that contains its genetic material. The capsid is made of proteins and glycoproteins.

# data[].attributes.body
an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
