Viruses, Viroids, and Prions

– Viral Infections Are Difficult to Treat

Organisms Of the Prokaryotic Domains—Bacteria and Archaea

– Prokaryotes Are Nature’s Recyclers

• Some Bacteria Pose a Threat to Human Health– Some Anaerobic Bacteria Produce Dangerous

Poisons– Humans Have Battled Bacterial Diseases

Throughout History– Some Common Bacterial Species Can Be Harmful– Most Bacteria Are Harmless

synchronized rupture of red blood cells, releasing the parasites and toxins, causes the recurring fever of malaria

parasites reproduce in red blood cells, which burst, liberating new parasites that infect more red blood cells

female Anopheles mosquito bites human and ingests gametocytes, which become gametes

fertilization produces a zygote that enters the wall of the mosquito’s stomach
