and minerals (ConnectUS Staff). There are three categories of this type of pesticide, microbial pesticides, biochemical pesticides, and plant incorporated pesticides. Microbial pesticides are microorganisms, for example bacteria, fungi, viruses, or protozoa. Biochemical pesticides are natural substances that can control pests using nontoxic procedures. Plant incorporated pesticides are pesticides that plant themselves after the genetic organisms have already been inserted (Hsaio). The…

are consumed by a portion of the plasma membrane. This results in the formation of a vesicle, or phagosome, which then fuses with a lysosome in the cytoplasm to break down and digest food particles. However, a large fraction of bacteria engulfed by protozoa are not digested. Instead, they remain metabolically active and survive to be discharged to the outside environment (Aijaz and Koudelka, 2017). The discharge of these indigestible materials occurs when the membrane of the phagosome reaches…

transferred just by touching another person or other parts of the body. As indicated in the article “Diseases Caused by Poor Hygiene” with accordance to its website Daily Tips some diseases are caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites such as fungi and protozoa. These diseases are AIDS, Herpes, Warts, Yellow Fever, Common Cold, Chickenpox, Cold Sores, Influenza, Hepatitis, Dengue fever, Rabies, Polio, Mumps, Measles, Meningitis and for viruses. For bacteria, it is…

authors mention that gut bacteria and other microorganisms aid in digestion and help in the development of the immune system. Other bacteria can cause infections (Vidyasagar Aparna, 2015). Infection is caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi getting into or onto the body (Department of Health & Human Services, State Government of Victoria, 2014). People believe that gloves alone can prevent the transmission of infection, but they are not an appropriate substitute for…

Most of the time people refuse treatment to self or to their love one is due to a knowledge deficit. Another cause that make people to refuse the treatment is a myth from that subject. Both the knowledge deficit and the myth require a good patient education. “Vaccine refusal is increasingly common in pediatric practices, with 89% of pediatricians reporting at least 1 parental refusal per month and 10% reporting greater than a 10% refusal rate” (Bass, 2015, p. 21). First, I would educate the…

to the adverse effects of E. coli because their immune systems are delicate. Polluted water is also a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquito bites can affect human health and cause diseases, such as malaria and dengue. In general, malaria is a protozoa infectious. The pathogen is one of five human pathogenic species of Plasmodium. The main mosquito vector is Anopheles. Whereas dengue is a viral infection. The pathogen is dengue virus. The main mosquito vector is Aedes. Both diseases can cause…

A 36-year-old female presents to the emergency department with fever and chills, which have been ongoing for the past two days. She describes paroxysms of shaking chills, which last about an hour then are followed by high-grade fevers. She also reports malaise, generalized body aches and joint pain. She notes that her urine in the morning seemed unnaturally dark. She just returned from a missionary trip in Cameroon (Central Africa) where she volunteered for two weeks as a teacher. She can’t…

body, it takes the form of a merozoite (2). A merozoite is a small sporozoan trophozoite that is produced asexually and is capable of reproducing by schizogony (2). Tests by scientific groups have determined different surface protein that help the protozoa in its attachment of the red blood cells (2). MSP-7, MSP-3, MSP-1, and other proteins have been identified, however, there function is not fully known. It is believed that they assist in parasite survival within the host (2). MSP-1 help…

to the health of man-kind. According to Natural Defense Council, additional sediments to an extreme allows pathogens to rapidly grow. Therefore, stormwater drained out into body of waters experience a high level of different bacteria, viruses and protozoa. In addition, the drinking water is being threaten by stormwater. Roughly 90% of United States citizens rely on public drinking water which comes from rivers and lakes around the country. 19% of the drinking water is contaminated with bacteria…

Mitochondria are filamentous organelles of all aerobic cells of higher animals and plants and also certain microorganism like protozoa. Studies show that that mitochondria are the direct descendants of a bacterial endosymbiont that became established at an early stage in a nucleus-containing host cell (Gray et al., 1999). Mitochondria are surrounded by a double-membrane system, consisting of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes separated by an intermembrane space. (Cooper, 2000). It has the…
