Zoospore
Life cycle stage of lower organisms / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A zoospore is a motile asexual spore that uses a flagellum for locomotion in aqueous or moist environments.[1] Also called a swarm spore, these spores are created by some protists, bacteria, and fungi to propagate themselves. Certain zoospores are infectious and transmittable,[1] such as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a fungal zoospore that causes high rates of mortality in amphibians.
