1 In men with established coronary heart disease, consumption of 1-14 alcoholic drinks per week, including wine, doesn't seem to have any effect on heart disease or all-cause mortality compared with men who drink less than one drink per week.
Terminology [edit]. Although organisms such as bacteria function as parasites, the usage of the term parasitic disease is usually more restricted. The three main types of organisms causing these conditions are protozoa (causing protozoan infection), helminths (helminthiasis), and ectoparasites.ome parasites like Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium spp. can cause disease directly, but other organisms can cause disease by the toxins that they produce.
Pathogenic diseases are caused by what is called a pathogen. Pathogens are parasitic organisms that cause disease int heir host.There are five different groups of pathogens: â¦ Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and parasitic worms.Deficiency diseases are just as the name suggests. They are caused by a deficiency of a particular nutrient in the diet.Hereditary diseases are passed on through generations via their genes. For example, haemophilia and sickle cell disease.here are five different groups of pathogens: â¦ Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and parasitic worms. Deficiency diseases are just as the name suggests. They are caused by a deficiency of a particular nutrient in the diet. Hereditary diseases are passed on through generations via their genes.
