Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helminths are parasitic worms that can infect various tissues or organs in their hosts. Incubators are devices that maintain a specific temperature and humidity to promote the growth of microorganisms. Fungi are a separate kingdom of eukaryotic organisms that can be parasitic, but not all fungi are parasites. Protozoa are unicellular eukaryotes and can be parasitic, but not all protozoa are parasites. Transmitters are agents that transfer a disease-causing agent from one organism to another, such as a vector or carrier.
