1.3 recall the term ‘pathogen’ and know that pathogens may be fungi, bacteria, protoctists or viruses.

Pathogens are micro-organisms that cause disease.

Bacteria, fungi, viruses and protoctists all cause disease in a variety of ways.
For example, bacteria release toxins. Another useful example of pathogens causing disease is viruses destroying host cells.
