illnesses that result from the infection‚ presence and growth of pathogenic (capable of causing disease) biologic agents in an individual human or other animal host. Infections may range in severity from asymptomatic (without symptoms) to severe and fatal. The term infection does not have the same meaning as infectious disease because some infections do not cause illness in a host. Disease causing biologic agents include viruses‚ bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ multi-cellular parasites‚ and aberrant proteins

Sarcodina‚ the largest phylum (11‚500 living species and 33‚000 fossil species) of protozoans). It comprises the amebas and related organisms; which are all solitary cells that move and capture food by means of pseudopods‚ flowing temporary extensions of the cell. Most sarcodines are free living; others are parasitic. One of these parasites is the causative organism of amebic dysentery. With the exception of chloroplasts‚ sarcodines are identical to the ameboid members of the phylum Chrysophyta.

Reservoir defined The word reservoir refers to a place where large amounts of water get stored. The word reservoir comes from the French réservoir‚ which further derives from the Old French reserver‚ meaning "to reserve." Reservoirs are those water bodies formed or modified by human activity for specific purposes‚ in order to provide a reliable and controllable resource. a water body contained by embankments or a dam‚ and subsequently managed in response to specific community needs; or any natural

HEPATITIS A A food-borne illness is any illness resulting from the consumption of contaminated food‚ pathogenic bacteria‚ viruses‚ or parasites that contaminate foods (Wikipedia‚ 2012). Foodborne illness usually arises from improper handling‚ preparation‚ or food storage. Each year in the United States between 6.5 to 33 million cases of illness are attributed to food-borne illness and 9‚000 people die as the result.(Abgrall & Misner‚ 1998) Hepatitis A is a common food borne illness‚ which can

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This investigatory project aims to make use of rambutan peeling extracts that is high in phenolic compounds such as tannin and saponin that exhibits antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Although the seeds contain such compounds the peeling exhibit greater amount of the said compounds. Rambutan is a very popular fruit cultivated in the Philippines and it is eaten in large amounts. The rambutans rind is quickly discarded and
