Cells & Viral Pathogenic Microbes
All living things are composed of one or more cells. Unlike cells, viruses, viroids and prions are acellular, nonliving parasites that require a living host to reproduce.

Cells, Viruses, Viroids & Prions
Infectious disease can result of cellular organisms, such as bacteria (prokaryotes), from eukaryotes (cells like ours) or from nonliving infectious agents.
