Wuchereria bancrofti is a human parasitic roundworm that is the major cause of lymphatic filariasis. Wuchereria bancrofti‚ Brugia malayi and B. timori are the three filarial species cause lymphatic filariasis. They are spread by a mosquito vector and human is the definitive host. In lymphatic filariasis‚ repeated episodes of inflammation and lymphedema lead to lymphatic damage‚ chronic swelling‚ and elephantiasis of the legs‚ arms‚ scrotum‚ vulva‚ and breasts .

Title: To examine an animal and cheek cell using a compound microscope Date: 25th September 2012 Lab Partner: xxxxxxxxxxxxx Objective: The main aim of this experiment was to prepare a wet mount of human cheek cells and a wet mount of plant cells and examine them both under a compound microscope. Introduction: Cells are the basic units of life which make up every structure in the human body. They are the smallest units which are living. All cells contain different organelles which

Prokaryote cell suspension Methodology Part 1 : Onion cell wet mount 1. A translucent piece of tissue from onion was peeled. 2. The piece of onion was placed on a glass slide and a drop or two of the Methylene blue solution was added. 3. The onion cell was observed under low‚ medium and high power. A drawing of one cell was made‚ using a pencil and all of its part are labelled. Part 2 : Cheek cell wet mount 1. The inside lining of your cheek with a toothpick was scraped gently
