Bacteria:
Bacteria are microorganism’s that thrive in warm and moist conditions such as tropical oceans, the human body and in soil among others. Bacteria are split into two types of cells which are prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the main difference between these cells is that the organelles in eukaryotes are surrounded by membranes while prokaryotes do not have their organelles surrounded by membranes. Bacteria aren’t all harmful, in fact some have good uses such as helping with digestion in the human body and also some are used to curdle milk into yogurt. For example a disease that is caused bacteria is cholera. Parasites:
Parasites are organisms that live in or on a host to get their food and nutrients they need from said host. Endoparasites …show more content…

The Ebola virus, being from the virus pathogen, isn’t a living organism and therefore invades host cells and takes over the nucleus which allows it to replicate itself and survive. The disease itself is spread by any type of fluids such as saliva, blood, moisture from breathing and also it can be present in a male’s semen. In the body it spreads via the blood stream and infects healthy organ cells causing them to be damaged and killed, which leads to internal bleeding and in some cases organ failure. In the West Africa outbreak, 28,000 cases of Ebola were reported with 11,000 of those cases proving to be fatal (as reported by the world health organisation). One of the symptoms of Ebola is that on the renal systems and the liver and that is that their function is significantly reduced and that can be followed by internal and external bleeding e.g. bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose or mouth …show more content…

Ebola forms clots in the blood vessels of someone that is infected with the disease, and also decreases the blood flow around the body by thickening the blood so as to give severe blood loss to critical organs around the body such as the lungs, brain, heart and many others. If blood clots form near the brain then it causes a stroke which can potentially prove to be fatal, if blood clots form near the heart then it can cause heart attacks and if it forms near the lungs then it can cause pulmonary embolism which is a massive clot in the pulmonary artery cutting off blood to the lungs. If any of the major organs blood supply is disrupted it can prove to be quickly fatal as the organ completely fails and will cause the person to die. A person with Ebola needs to have their blood thinned constantly to stop critical organ systems being affected otherwise; it can have a significant chance to prove
