Genetics: the science of heredity that includes the study of what genes are‚ how they carry info‚ how they are replicated and passed to subsequent generations of cells or passed between organisms‚ and how the expression of their info within an organism determines the particular characteristics of that organism. Genome: the cell’s genetic information that includes it’s plasmids and chromosome. Chromosomes: structures containing DNA that physically carry hereditary info‚ contain the genes Genes:

Chapter 1 The Problem Introduction Today’s technological innovation and medical advances gave birth to formulation of synthetic drugs used to treat respiratory infections‚ urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ arthritis and other diseases. These pharmaceuticals are costly and to a point‚ inaccessible to many Filipinos. These may also pose adverse effects like nausea‚ dyspnea‚ and diarrhea. Researchers are challenged to produce natural medicines‚ which could be lower in cost and more synergistic

environment plays a critical role in transmission to humans‚ with many environmental materials serving as vehicles. Microbial contaminants may be transmitted directly‚ through hand-to-hand contact‚ or indirectly‚ via food or other inanimate objects like fomites. (Rote‚ et al.‚ 2010) According to Umeh‚ et al (2007)‚ Contamination of objects by pathogenic microorganism is much a public health concern as contaminated materials can be sources of transmitting pathogens. Items that pass from hand to hand are

The Impact of Microorganisms on Human Affairs What is microbiology? Microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The word micro means small in Greek‚ implying that microbes are very minute or small life forms that cannot be seen with just the naked eye. One would need a microscope to see these small life forms. Microbes are everywhere and have a large impact on the world. It all started when one of the most important discoveries in history was made in 1665. Englishman‚ Robert Hooke

Viroids are plant pathogens that consist of a short stretch (a few hundred nucleobases) of highly complementary‚ circular‚ single-stranded RNA without the protein coat that is typical for viruses.[1] The smallest discovered is a 220 nucleobase scRNA (small cytoplasmic RNA) associated with the rice yellow mottle sobemovirus (RYMV).[2] In comparison‚ the genome of the smallest known viruses capable of causing an infection by themselves are around 2kilobases in size. The human pathogen hepatitis D is

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that causes respiratory tract infections. The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)‚ discovered in 1956‚ is capable of causing a broad spectrum of illnesses. In 1956‚ Morris and colleagues initially isolated RSV from chimpanzees with upper respiratory tract (URT) infections as the causative agent of most epidemic bronchiolitis cases. Subsequently‚ Channock et al (1956) associated this agent with bronchiolitis and lower respiratory
