Although bacteria and viruses are responsible for the majority
of human diseases, eukaryotic organisms are also responsible for a
number of human diseases. Disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and
parasites are called pathogens.

Ecology of human infectious diseases focuses on the interactions
between pathogens (e.g. viruses, bacteria, fungi) or parasites
(e.g. protozoa, helminthes) and their human hosts. Using the one
disease you are familiar or the disease you worked in your term
project as an example, to discuss the need and importance to
understand the interactions among various changing ecological
factors, pathogens/parasites and human hosts.
