Solution

The infectious pathogens from the options provided are:

  1. Parasites: These are organisms that live on or in a host organism and get their food from or at the expense of their host. There are several different types of parasites, including protozoa and helminths.

  2. Fungi: Some types of fungi can cause disease in humans. For example, Candida is a type of fungus that can cause infections in people with weakened immune systems.

  3. Viruses: These are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.

Normal flora, also known as microbiota, are not typically considered pathogens because they usually live in harmony with their host. However, they can sometimes cause infections if they enter parts of the body where they don't normally live, or if the immune system is compromised.
