Vaginitis may be caused by an infection resulting. from fungi, bacteria and/or parasites. As indicated, the etiology can vary from inadequate hygiene to. sexual activities. Noninfectious vaginitis can develop. as a result of allergies or irritation from vaginal. products (i.e., soaps, sprays).
What is Cyclospora? Cyclospora is a one-celled parasite too small to be seen with the naked eye (only 8 to 10 microns in diameter). Its full name is Cyclospora cayetanensis. It used to be called by such names as cyanobacterium-like, coccidia-like and Cyclospora-like bodies (CLBs).
Mycology is the study of fungi. Fungi are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic absorptive chemoheterotrophs. Most fungi are decomposers, and a few are parasites of plants and animals. Of the more than 1.5 million species about 300 are pathogenic, however the number of serious fungal infections is increasing.olds and fleshy fungi consist of long filaments of cells joined together (hyphae). A fungal thallus (body) is the vegetative, nonreproductive part of the organism and consists of a tangled mass of hyphae called a mycelium.
