Worm

of grizzly wintergreen, holding a beat up $10 push button reel, dropping a live worm down hoping to catch a little bream. Right there is where most people are wrong. There is more ways to fish other than just poking a hole through a worm and waiting for hours to have the chance to catch a small fish. Bank fishing, which is the lazy man’s fishing, consists of sitting on the bank of a river or lake and letting a worm bounce up and down on the bottom until a little panfish eats it. Fly fishing,…

Beef cattle are a vital part of the food system in the United States. The average American eats 271 pounds of beef per year; this is why disease prevention is so important in beef cattle (Barclay, 2012). If farmers were unable to identify, prevent, and treat diseases, the prices of beef would go up as a result of an increase in death due to diseases. The loss of a single animal can be devastating to small scale farmers and ranchers. Three diseases which are important in beef cattle are bloat,…

Blood smears viewed under a microscope will also confirm the disease by seeing the microfilaria swimming. X-ray of the chest cavity will reveal the concentration of worms by the enlargement of the right side of the heart. Anemia is also associated with the disease and is detectable by urine or blood tests. The object is to kill the adult worms and the microfilaria. Complications of the disease is when the severity of the infection has other symptoms and problems within the body. Caparsolate,…

The common name of Taenia solium is known as the pork tapeworm. 3. Matured pork worms are only found in people. “[Larvae] are found in the muscles of the intermediate hosts and in the brain in the case of neurocysticercosis.” (Government of Canada) Also, the eggs are infectious to people. Taenia solium does have ovaries but no vaginal sphincter muscle, just a genital pore. 4. First, the eggs are laid in feces that get passed into the environment. It is very easy for eggs to survive a long time…

where the parasites are many (Søe, 2016). The diagnosis of roundworms can be done through carrying out physical exams to the patients who are suspected to be infected by the worms, carrying out a blood test in order to find out if the infections have gone into the blood, having ultrasounds in order to examine if the worms are in the lymph nodes, having urine and stool tests which helps in identifying the organism in the stool and the urine, having a biopsy of the skin and the muscles which…

decurvature confers an element of surprise over preys such as worms, that have the ability to detect the presence of their predator. The bill tip of the curlew ends up closer to the feet so it is unlikely that the worm will be aware of the imminent attack. Also, for this bird is crucial to remove the worm from the substrate before swallowing it. However, that supposedly easy task can turn into a difficult one due to the anatomical structure of worms. They are fragile and easy to break, so it…

Dog waste and the type of dogs were the independent variables. The dependent variables were the rate of reproduction and worm length. The composts each received the same amount of water, sunlight, and sawdust. There were 4 equally sized bins, with the same size holes, the same amount, type, and source of compost, all with 10 worms each, roughly around the same length. The dogs ate their normal diet of dry food, along with occasional treats and dental chews. Two large dogs…

consisting of 302 neurons, with 60 of them being sensory neurons (Pieczynski 2016). Thanks to this simplicity, we can easily observe C. elegans’ reaction to various reactions to stimuli in order to observe changes in behavior. Furthermore, because the worms have many genes in common with humans, we can draw parallels towards the human brain and its neurological functions. Stimulation through olfaction is a specific way to observe the neurological behavior of C. elegans. C.…

survive. Despite living in different locations of the ocean, zombie worms, giant squids, yeti crabs, and deep-sea jellyfish all share one common trait: they must adapt to their environment to survive. A recently explored area of the ocean near Antarctica in the Southern Pacific has…

annelid worms that burrow in soil and feed on soil nutrients and decaying organic matter.” However, what if the “soil nutrients” were changed into three different groups? After extensive research, I decided to test the effect of fruit peels, grass clippings, and coffee grounds on earthworms and their soil. It has been proven previously that a rich diet enhances the enzymes and biomass of earthworms,…
