Lernzettel-Auszug

Microorganisms, Diseases, and Transmission: Revision Sheet

1. 📌 Essentials

  • Microorganisms include viruses, bacteria, eukaryotes, parasites, and prions.
  • Pathogens are microorganisms causing disease.
  • Transmission modes: direct contact, vectors, contaminated/food, airborne.
  • Key diseases: Malaria (Plasmodium), Measles (morbillivirus), HIV/AIDS (VHI), Tub (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
  • Vaccines prevent many infectious diseases (e.g., MMR, BCG).
  • Antimicrobials include antimalarials, antibiotics, antivirals.
  • Vectors like mosquitoes transmit specific pathogens.
  • Human microbiota plays a crucial role in health; dysbiosis linked to disease.
  • Climate change impacts disease distribution and epidemiology.
  • Microorganisms are invisible without microscopy.

2. 🧩 Key Structures & Components

  • Pathogens — microorganisms causing disease (viruses, bacteria, eukaryotes, parasites, prions).
  • Host — organism developing symptoms upon infection.
  • Vector — organism or element transmitting pathogens (e.g., mosquitoes, contaminated objects).
  • Microbiota — beneficial microorganisms residing in humans, aiding health.
  • Transmission routes — direct contact, vectors, airborne, contaminated water/food.
  • Vaccines — biological preparations providing immunity (e.g., MMR, BCG).
  • Antimicrobials — drugs targeting pathogens (e.g., chloroquine, antibiotics, antiretrovirals).
