Worm

lungworm, and you are wondering what lungworm is all about. You don’t have to panic relax and keep reading, at the end you will realized it’s not as bad as you think. Lungworm, scientifically known as Angiostrongylus vasorum is a type of parasite worm that affect the lung and tracheas of dogs causing a numbers of health complication which can result in death. Slug and snails are the carrier of lungworm larvae. Infection can occur by ingestion of gastropod and also by transmission of larvae…

sheep. It is used in the worm control on any farms. Drenches is also known as anthelmintics as they contain active ingredients that kill the helminths in the stomach. Basically, there are three major types of drenches which are the suspensions, solutions and emulsions. (P.Junquera, 2015) Drenches can be a “broad spectrum” when they treat an extensive range of internal parasites or “narrow spectrum” when they treat only a restricted range of internal parasites. (Sheep Worms: Signs, Management…

Sensitivity of Cancerous C.elegans with Mitochondria Dysfunction Mitophagy is a selective autophagic elimination of damaged or excessive mitochondria, especially when cells are under adverse stress. Mitophagy has been identified as the cause of various human diseases and even cancer. In recent years, researchers gradually regard mitophagy as the target for cancer treatment, although the role of mitophagy in the developmental and metabolic process of cancer is still not clear. In this…

well-known cases of cyber-warfare is the Stuxnet worm. This cyber-attack arose in Iran from 2007 to 2012. The United States and Israel implemented Stuxnet…

Heartworms are parasitic worms that live in the heart of a dog and is found in areas where mosquitos are prevalent, such as waterways, and coastlines. These worms are called heartworms because the adults live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of an infected animal.Heartworms are common in dogs throughout the United States . It matures into adults and produce offsprings while living inside a dog. A dog can have up to 250 worms in its system if not treated in time. When this disease is…

Based on our findings, the NSAIDs aspirin and ibuprofen do have an impact on the heart rate of the Lumbriculus variegatus worms as evidenced by Figures 2 and 3 above. We observed that caffeine also had an impact on the heart rate of the worms. We can state that our hypothesis was correct when it came to the ibuprofen solutions because evidence supports the claim that the ibuprofen does increase the heart rate in Lumbriculus variegatus. Furthermore, as the concentration of ibuprofen increased,…

this lab, we were given the chance to essentially analyze worms and turn out to be more acquainted with the terms of life structures concerning the body areas and positions. The worm analyzation concentrated for the most part on the sexual multiplication part of worms, likely in light of the fact that it is not fundamentally the same as human proliferation. I learned in this lab that worms are not arranged as male or female since a few worms are considered bisexuals and have sexual proliferation…

Worms. Big worms, small worms, slimy worms. You may not think about worms every day and you might not care for them, but some worms actually play a great role in science. I’m talking about C. elegans. These microscopic worms are being investigated by scientist all the time. They were discovered in the 1970’s by Sydney Brenner and currently an international consortium of laboratories are collaborating on a project to sequence the entire 100,000,000 bases of DNA of the C. elegans genome (CBS). So…

Pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis) is a worm that is shaped like a small bracelet that live in the lower part of the digestive tract. A person exposed to the pinworms infection, also known as oxyuriasis. Pinworms infection most often occurs in children, could even affect up to two-thirds of children aged 5-10 years. The worm, which on average has a body length of 5 to 13 millimeters, usually put its eggs on the folds of skin around the anus at the time the sufferer being asleep. Pinworms eggs…

are two species of tube worms which, not only do not have a mouth, but do not have a digestive tract at all. Instead the species have several billion chemotrophic bacteria living in their gut. The worms expel plumes dyed red with hemoglobin and use them to take sulfur compounds and other nutrients into the body cavity. The hemoglobin combines with hydrogen sulfide and is then taken up by the bacteria and used to produce organic nutrients which are supplied directly to the worm (“Extremes of Eel…
