What is? Disease, pathogens & symptoms.

Disease:
A disease is a disorder of structure and/or function in a human, animal, or plant etc.

Parasites:
Parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

Pathogens considered as parasites:
A parasite by definition is an organism that lives off a host. It becomes pathogenic when it introduces a disease state to the host, by its own toxins or more commonly acting as a "vector" by being the vehicle for the pathogen. (Like the bubonic plague-the pathogen was introduced by the flea) pathogens are organisms that cause disease.

Symptoms:
Symptoms are a physical and/or mental feature that is regarded as indicating a condition of disease.

How/why symptoms form:
We get symptoms when we’re starting to develop a sickness, disease etc. This is because our body is trying to indicate that there’s something wrong and you should get a check-up.
