Protists are unicellular organisms that are not animals, fungi or plants. Instead, they are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. Protists tend to remain in environments containing liquid water. Their natural function of these organisms is to serve as primary producers in ecosystems, especially in oceans. On the other hand, they also cause certain diseases in humans. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protists of the Plasmodium genus. This mosquito-borne disease is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly the areas below the Sahara Dessert in Africa.
Primary bacterial diseases are caused by invasion of bacteria that cause disease with no other predisposing factors. Secondary bacterial diseases are caused by invasion of bacteria after a predisposing condition, such as viral infections, stresses, tissue injuries, and dietary upsets.A bacterial disease may affect a single tissue or organ, or it may affect multiple tissues and organs of the animal.ungal diseases may also be called mycosis or mycotic diseases. Some fungi infect the superficial layer of skin (such as the ringworm fun-gus), and others invade various body systems (such as the aspergillus fungus). Parasites Common parasitic diseases of animals are caused by arthropods, worms, and protozoa.
