Fungus: Simple parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products, allergic reactions and/or colonisation of body tissues. Protozoa: The simplest, most primitive type of animal, consisting of a single cell. Rickettsia: A type of parasitic micro-organism. They resemble bacteria but are only able to replicate by invading the cells of another life form; rickettsiae are parasites of ticks, lice, etc., which can transmit the rickettsiae to humans via their bite or contaminated faeces. Chlamydia: Micro-organisms which are intermediate in size between viruses and bacteria; like viruses they can only multiply by first invading the cells of another life-form; otherwise more like bacteria and are susceptible to antibiotics. Nosocomial infection: contracted in hospital
