In the case of animals, throughout organs in the digestive, respiratory, and other systems, especially the circulatory system; in plants, throughout the xylem and/or phloem vessels, and into organs like leaves, stems, roots, tubers, fruits, and cetera. Additional recommended knowledgeSystemic infections are also called disseminated infections, and they can be caused by bacteria and bacteria-like prokaryotes, fungi, protozoa in the broad sense, and viruses. |
