and could cause serious health problem to people. Due to the growth of global travel and transportation‚ people can rapidly spread antimicrobial-resistant bugs to distant regions and countries. According to the World Health Organization (2012)‚ Falciparum malaria parasites have developed resistance to Artemisinins and have shown delayed clearance after the start of the

Diseases that affect organisms are often seen in negative light. Often‚ when people hear the word disease they are likely to think of microscopic organisms that harms the host it inhabits. However‚ scientists like Dr. Sharon Moalem would suggest that the modern day human diseases contributed to the survival of our ancestors. He states that the diseases we still have protected us from other diseases that were much worse. The reason why the diseases are still in existence in modern times is due to

They are sporozoan parasites with a complex life cycle‚ part of which is in various vertebrate tissues‚ while the other part involves parasites. The sporozoites of the organisms are transferred to a human by the bite of a female

sporozoites then move into the salivary glands where they prepare to infect another host Transmission: Malaria is transmitted through vectors. They could be animals or insects such as female Anopheles mosquitos. These vectors carry an organism called plasmodium which is the actual cause of the disease which is spread around by the vectors.

International human rights: an unattainable concept “Can international human rights ever be effectively protected and enforced? Explain why or why not; and how (by what means).” The codification of many international treaties into human rights law is an especially gray area. While there does exist half a dozen or more of these treaties establishing basic human rights‚ they are often an overlapping and confusing mess that is difficult to decode. International actors have agreed upon basic

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Marriage before the age of 18 is a reality for many young women. In many parts of the world parents encourage the marriage of their daughters while they are still children in hopes that the marriage will benefit them both financially and socially‚ while also relieving financial burdens on the family. In actuality‚ child marriage is a violation of human rights‚ com-promising the development of girls and often resulting in early pregnancy and social

Exam Review – January 2013 Diversity Unit - List taxonomic ranks in order. What is the significance of this order? Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ Species. Classification of species: kingdoms contain many different types of organisms‚ each taxon contains progressively fewer types of organisms‚ taxon “species” is narrowest category‚ containing only one type of organism. As you go from kingdom to species‚ organisms share more and more in common. - Explain and give an example

Since 1969‚ Tu Youyou‚ a pharmaceutical chemist in China‚ collected 2‚000 folk remedies and ancient texts on the purported cure for malaria‚ a life-threatening disease caused by plasmodium. After years of research‚ she discovered a possible active ingredient that looked to inhibit the plasmodium’s growth in animals. Since then‚ this semi-synthetic substance‚ artemisinin‚ has saved millions of lives. Traditional knowledge‚ access to genetic sequence information and synthetic biology made this possible;
