Inoculation

America seems like it has been susceptible to many curious and deadly diseases throughout the years. GRID, or gay-related immune deficiency, was first introduced in 1982 when doctors saw immune systems of gay males falter. This is better known as AIDS now. Mad Cow Disease (BSE) caused pandemonium across the globe in 1986. Causing fatal brain damage was scary to most, but the United States did not record a case until the early 2000s (“Mad Cow,” 2015). Next came the swine flu, or H1N1. This…

The fungi Alternaria is a phyto-pathogen cause leaf blight disease to variety of plants. Alternaria alternata and Alternaria helianthi was isolated from Dalbergia sissoo L. and Helianthus annuus L. respectively. Test antagonists grow faster than the pathogen and produced inhibition zones thereby limiting the growth of the pathogen. These antagonistic interactions influence the incidence and severity of the disease caused by the pathogen. When the two Alternaria spp. were tested by dual culture…

The study of inheritance at the at one of the smallest levels is referred to as molecular genetics and is utilized for many purposes, which include genes, genotyping, sequencing, cloning, etc. (Kelly, 2016). This allows for the ability to conduct DNA analysis revealing varying compositions and properties. For the following experiment the genomic DNA from Drosophila melanogaster, was utilized to be cloned and sequenced for either actin or 18s rRNA. In order to clone and sequence the specific…

The cancer is sometimes genetic, but mostly it is caused by the environment. Environmental factor in the development of cancers can be chemical, physical or biological. Chemical exposure to environmental carcinogens chemicals or substances that can lead to the development of cancer. It can occur in the workplace and in the home, as well as medical treatments, and lifestyle choices. Pollution from coal-fired power plants, auto mobile exhaust, and other sources. Burning coal is also a leading…

It is believed that these habitats are the primary reservoirs from which susceptible hosts acquire infections [14]. Infection results from percutaneous inoculation (e.g. by means of a penetrating injury or open wound), inhalation (e.g. during severe weather or as a result of a deliberate release), or ingestion (e.g. through contaminated food or water) [3]. Manifestations of disease are dependent on host pathogen…

CHAPTER-2 VARIABILITY AMONG THE ALTERNARIA BRASSICAE ISOLATES INTRODUCTION The chapter is mainly concerned with examining the variability among Alternaria brassicae isolates from the oilseed brassicas. Since, the oilseed brassicas are more prone to the fungal attack and thereby, resulting in reduced productivity of the oilseed. Therefore, the present investigation focuses on the studying the features such as morphological, pathological and molecular variability of Alternaria brassicae. The…

Treatment of co-morbid alcoholism and PTSD in veterans ? comparison with other drug dependencies 11-15-16 Loggins, K., Gutierrez, C.A., PharmD, Wilcox, R.E., PhD.* Target: Journal of Addiction and Preventive Medicine ABSTRACT Combat instigated PTSD is one of the more complicated psychological conditions that occur in the modern world. To add to the complications of treatment, PTSD is often accompanied by other psychological comorbidities and substance use disorders; of which the most…

2 The term ‘life course’ means the developments and changes in people’s lives over a period of time. 3 One reason why there is a high rate of lone parent families among Black Caribbean and Black African families in Britain might be that because of high rates of unemployment or other reasons, males from these ethnic groups find it difficult to carry out the traditional breadwinner role. A second reason that has been suggested is that they follow a different family type, which has been…
