#cellular infection
- Alpidia — A microscopic genus of parasitic organisms or primitive unicellular fungi (belonging to taxonomic classifications within Chytridiomycota or related protist groups) that structurally infect the cells of other aquatic organisms (such as algae or rotifers). This structural taxon is studied in microbiology and parasitology to analyze cellular interactions and the impact of ecological parasites on micro-fauna.
- Bacteriocytosis — A pathological condition or biological phenomenon characterized by the abnormal presence, accumulation, or proliferation of bacteria within host cells. In a clinical context, bacteriocytosis describes the advanced stage of persistent intracellular bacterial infections, where the phagocytic capacity of the cells is overwhelmed, turning them into replication reservoirs.
