Viruses. Viruses are particles, rather than cells. They are smaller than bacteria. They can only reproduce inside living organisms, this makes viruses parasites. They come in all shapes and sizes and infect all living organisms. They do not have a cellular structure. They have a protein coat, covering genetic material, either DNA or RNA.
Organisms as Pathogens. Some organisms are Pathogens, Pathogens are organisms that cause disease. That can include some fungi, Protoctists, bacteria and viruses. Protoctist.
