Based on the laboratory tests provided, it can be determined that the unknown organism can be identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). This organism is an opportunistic pathogen that can infect non-mammalian, plants, and humans. P. aeruginosa belongs to the bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae, and is a gram-negative rod that approximately measures 0.5 to 0.8 µm by 1.5 to 3.0 µm. It can normally be found in water and soil. Its single polar flagellum makes it motile, and it is known to…

Herpes zoster (shingles): a skin condition caused by varicella-zoster virus, the virus causing chickenpox (a childhood illness). Shingles is common among people with previous chickenpox history. The virus may remain inactive in the nerves for a long time and become active again as a consequence of weak immune system (elderly, cancer patients). The virus targets the epidermis and cause painful rashes that appear as clusters of fluid-filled blisters. Although blisters may occur anywhere on the…

(Helicoverpa armigera), all of which destroy tomatoe crops by feeding, ovipositing and spreading pathogens. Another gene called cysteine proteinase inhibitor has been transferred into tomatoe plants, making them resistant to another harmful pest called nematode. Another ceropin B gene has been used to make tomatoe plants resistant to bacterial wilt and bacterial spot. Scientists are still working on finding new genes that can be inserted into tomatoe plants to make them resistant to even more…

Parasites is an animal or plant that lives in or on a host which is another animal or plant as it obtains nourishment from the host without benefiting or killing the host. Parasites may be characterized as ectoparasites, including ticks, fleas, leeches, and lice which live on the body surface of the host and do not themselves commonly cause disease in the host or endoparasites, which may be either intercellular (inhabiting spaces in the host’s body) or intracellular (inhabiting cells in the…

burn or bury do not compost the plants. • Slugs; the controls for slugs can be the use of copper wire strips around the tops of raised beds, salt granules sea salts, course sand around the base of plants, beer traps, watering with a solution of nematodes, chemically impregnated mats that are placed around the base of the plants, picking of and destroying. • Club Foot; disease free sources, give plants head start by planting on to large containers before planting out, crop rotation, raising soil…

Elephantiasis came from. Even though the death rate is not high, but this disease is quite deadly. this paper will be discussing the causes of Elephantiasis, symptoms, and treatments. Causes The causes of this disease are from an infection of a nematode parasite called the Filarial worm. The disease from the worm is transmitted from human to human by the sting of a female mosquito when the mosquito decides to take blood. Once inside the bloodstream, the parasite grows into a full adult worm in…

oceans such as the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean. They are mostly in the ocean in a small to large group of other moon jelly that is called a bloom. Diet: They eat small plankton organisms like mollusks, marine invertebrate larvae, copepods, nematodes, crustaceans, young polychaetes, diatoms, protozoans and eggs. Predators: The main predator of a Moon Jellyfish is other types of jellyfish, usually of a different species. But moon jellyfish also have a number of other natural predators…

Lymphatic Filariasis is a disease to the lymphatic system and is the “leading cause to permanent disability in the world” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The lymphatic system plays a major role to our immune system. Lymph is created from the lymphatic system which contain lymphocytes and white blood cells which as we know white blood cells are key to fighting off infections of any sort. Organs in the lymphatic system also dispose of some waste in the body. Lymph nodes are one of…

There are certain animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and viruses that tolerate and actually thrive in extreme conditions. These organisms are called extremophiles. The word extremophile breaks up into “extreme” and the suffix “phile” literally means “one who loves.” These organisms flourish in the uninhabitable places that vary from extremely high and low temperatures, high pressures, high salinity, the absence of water, and extreme amounts of radiation just to name a few. Many of these…

't cause harm because they live symbiotically with their host. There are manny different kinds of infections and they can be caused in manny different ways “Infections are caused by infectious agents including viruses, viroids, prions, bacteria, nematodes such as parasitic roundworms and pinworms, arthropods such as ticks, mites, fleas,…
