As a reminder, microbes that cause disease are called pathogens. A pathogen is a micro-organism that has the potential to cause disease. The most common microbial causes of diseases and infections are bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Examples of non-microbial causes of disease include immune or nervous system disorders, psychological stress, traumatic injury, chemicals, etc.
