Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi are considered which type of hazard?
They are considered biological hazards.
What needs a host to survive?
Viruses, viroids, and prions need a host to survive and replicate.

The host's immune response eventually stops the spread of the virus.
What is the structural difference between a viroid and a virus?
A viroid consists of a single short strand of circular RNA, while a virus contains either DNA or RNA enclosed in a protein coat and sometimes a lipid envelope.
How do prions cause disease in the host organism?
Prions cause disease by inducing normal proteins to misfold, resulting in loss of protein function and leading to slow degenerative diseases.
