a good report on fungus - The kingdom of Fungi contains single-celled and multicellular organisms that absorb nutrients for food. Fungi‚ together with bacteria decay and decompose organic matter. Some fungi can be parasitic and cause serious diseases in plants and animals. Though considered an individual kingdom today‚ traditionally fungi were classified as plants with no stems‚ leaves‚ or chlorophyll. About 100‚000 species of fungi are known. Most fungi are made of protoplasm-containing tubes called

Colloquially‚ infections are usually considered to be caused by microscopic organisms or microparasites like viruses‚ prions‚ bacteria‚ and viroids‚ though larger organisms like macroparasites and fungi can also infect. Hosts normally fight infections themselves via their immune system. Mammalian hosts react to infections

Amoeba parasites Definition: Amoeba parasites is a microscopic parasite called Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) which causes internal inflammation. It is a single-celled organism and that is how the illness got its name – amebiasis. When the cysts survive the acidic stomach it transforms back to trophozoites in the small intestines then migrates to the large intestines where they multiply and live. Obtaining the parasite: Amoeba parasites are transmitted by eating and drinking something
