What is a model organism, and why is Saccharomyces cerevisiae so ofen used as one?

Other potential harmful molds can cause fatal neural disease as well as a number of other health issues, such as, throat irritation and skin irritation. 3. Parasitc helminths are a major cause of disease in undeveloped countries around the world. Discuss the role that microbiologists can and have played in helping to reduce the number of infectons caused by parasitc helminths.
