Microparasite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A microparasite is a parasite that completes a full life cycle within one host and can be transmitted directly to conspecific hosts. They often reproduce within a host's cells and are generally too small to be seen with the naked eye. Most are viruses, bacteria and fungi with a smaller number being protists. Examples include Salmonella and HIV.
