pacificus) can transmit the organisms responsible for causing anaplasmosis and Lyme disease in humans. Wild rodents and other mammals are likely reservoirs of these pathogens. This tick is distributed along the Pacific coast of the United States. ” Larvae and nymphs feed on birds and small rodents‚ while adult ticks feed on deer and other mammals” (J. BURRASCANO‚ 1988). Adult ticks are primarily associated with pathogen transmission to humans. Ornithodoros hermsi are called “soft” ticks because they

Identification and characterization of Pierisin gene in P. napi The strategy was followed to amplify the Pierisin-6 gene was given in the supplementary Fig. 1. The mRNA of pierisin-6 gene was purified from the total RNA of fifth instar larvae of P. napi‚ the conserved region was amplified using gene specific primers (supplementary table-1)‚ cloned into pGEM®-T vector and sequenced. Further‚ 3’ and 5’ untranslated regions of pierisin-6 gene were identified by 3’/5’ RACE-PCR. The amplified cDNA sequence

The Effect of Turbidity on the Abundance of Riffle Beetles Introduction: In this study‚ the goal is to determine the effect of turbidity on the abundance of riffle beetles. Those that are carrying out the experiment will learn what effects that low and high turbidity have on riffle beetle abundance. It is important to there to be research on this in order to know what the effects will be on riffle beetles because they are good detectors of pollution. This can help one to understand what level of

I. Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism‚ the parasite‚ benefits at the expense of the other‚ the host. Soil-transmitted helminthiasis is a human infection of the intestinal tract caused by different species of parasitic worms acquired through contact with contaminated soil (Bethony et al. 2006). Light helminth infections are well endured by human hosts and usually have no symptoms‚ but some serious cases cause morbidity and mortality (CDC‚ 2013;

from non-plant organisms also can be used. The best known example of this is the use of B.t. genes in corn and other crops. B.t.‚ or Bacillus thuringiensis‚ is a naturally occurring bacterium that produces crystal proteins that are lethal to insect larvae. B.t. crystal protein genes have been transferred into corn‚ enabling the corn to produce its own pesticides against insects such as the European corn borer.

Running head: Descriptive and Analytic Epidemiology TUI University Lea Glover MPH 504 Descriptive and Analytic Epidemiology Case Assignment #3 Dr. Sharon Nazarchuk Abstract Descriptive epidemiology is defined as the study of the amount and distribution of disease within a population by person‚ place‚ and time. Descriptive epidemiology answers the following questions: Who is affected? Where and when do cases occur? It describes cases by person‚ place‚ and time (TUI University 2008).

homes are just as complex. Ants reside underground‚ in city like structures‚ where a series of tunnels are the highways that connect rooms or chambers together. These chambers serve many different purposes. They are nurseries for the eggs to hatch and larvae to develop‚ they are places to store all the food that has been foraged and they can serve as a place to mate safely‚ allowing for the queen to have a chamber of her own. These impressive intricate structures are created and maintained solely by the
