Other viruses‚ such as cholera and some STDs‚ also use various degrees of host manipulation to find transmission channels. I also found it interesting that our sense of disgust

Measuring haemodynamic variables using different techniques and examining the effects of diving reflex‚ isometric muscle contraction and psychological stress on these variables.
