Click here to view my profile and arrange a free introduction.A pathogen is a microorganism—such as a bacterium, virus, fungus, or parasite—that causes disease in a host. They invade the host, evade immune defenses, and can disrupt normal functions, leading to illness. Pathogens can be transmitted through direct contact, airborne particles, contaminated food or water, and vectors like insects.
