Introduction: A parasite is an organism in or on another living organism obtaining from it part or all of its organic nutriments‚ commonly exhibiting some degree of adaptive structural modifications‚ and causing some degree of real damage to its hosts‘ (Thomas‚ Renaud‚ and Guegan‚ 2005). One of the many parasites is the filarial African eye worm‚ Loa loa. Loa loa belongs to class Secernentea‚ subclass Spiruria‚ order Spirurida‚ super family Filarioidea‚ and family Onchocercidae. These parasites are located

visible to the eye with the microscope. It is rod-shaped‚ gram negative‚ non-motile bacteria that does not form spores. It infects the cell‚ multiplies within it; then‚ bursts the cell. Special effector protein factors are required for salmonella intestinal invasion and the induction of fluid secretion and for inflammatory responses. There are about six names species names of it‚ salmonella enteritidis‚ and salmonella enteric which cause the human disease. 2) How is this infectious agent transmitted

Unit 4222-265 Causes and spread of infection (ICO2) 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi & parasites. • Bacteria is a microorganism‚ most bacteria is harmless. It is found in soil‚ water‚ plants‚ animals and humans; it can only be seen under a microscope. Antibiotics can help treat bacterial infections. Examples of bacterial infections are TB and MRSA. • Viruses live inside other living organisms. They can enter humans through the nose‚ mouth and breaks in the skin. Viruses

where an organism (known as a parasite) lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism (known as a host). The parasite obtains nutrition directly from the body of the host. Since these parasites derive their nourishment from their host‚ this symbiotic interaction is often described as harmful to the host. Parasites are dependent on their host for survival‚ since the host provides nutrition and protection. As a result of this dependence‚ parasites have considerable modifications

Bees are steadily declining in population because these insects are suffering from colony collapse disorder. Things like habitat destruction‚ increased stress‚ and infections or parasites are causing the bees to die off. Bees play an important role not only in our ecosystem‚ but our economy as well. Bees are responsible for over 15 billion dollars in crop value every year. Not only would the extinction of bees affect our economy‚ but bees‚ playing a very important role in our ecosystem‚ would affect

Population is all the organisms that both belong to the same species and live in the same geographical area. The area that is used to define the population is such that inter-breeding is possible between any pair within the area and more probable than cross-breeding with individuals from other areas. Normally breeding is substantially more common within the area than across the border.

Fungi are popular for beneficial effects including food production‚ penicillin production and decomposition. * Parasites are those micro-organisms(hosts) for their survival both virus and bacteria could be parasite 1.2 common illness and infections caused by Bacteria are: * Impetigo * Salmonella * Tuberculosis(TB) * Cholera * Anthrax * Shingella * Pertssis (whooping cough) * Bubonic

1.1 & 1.2 To start this unit I will be discussing about the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria: These are tiny microorganisms‚ they cannot be seen with the naked eye. They exist on virtually every living thing or object in the environment i.e. dirt‚ water‚ caves‚ trees‚ dead animals‚ and within everybody living on earth. Its nutrition is from its surroundings. We carry bacteria in the body‚ mainly in the intestines‚ on the genitalia or on the skin. Bacteria can

I. Intoduction Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. Encephalitis is an inflammatory process in the brain parenchyma. It is associated with clinical evidence of brain dysfunction due to infective (usually viral) or non-infective processes. The pattern of brain involvement depends on the specific pathogen‚ the immunological state of the host‚ and a range of environmental factors. In encephalitis the virus initially gains entry and replicates in local or regional tissue‚ such as the
