Book description


The agents of human infectious diseases belong to five major groups of organisms: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths, and viruses. Bacteria belong to the Bacteria domain, whereas fungi (yeasts and molds), protozoa, and helminths (worms) are classi­fied in the Eukarya domain. Bacteria, fungi, and protozoa are uni­cellular or relatively simple multicellular organisms In contrast, helminths are complex multicellular organisms Viruses art non­cell ul ar and therefore are quite distinct from the other organisms
