Disease

This patient has athlete’s foot that has transmitted to his hand. This is a fungal infection caused by tineas, a cutaneous mycoses (22).

Method of pathogen introduction to a non-pathogenic environment includes brood stock, Aquaculture feeds and equipment. But the main method of disease introduction is due to movement of contaminated animals. Assessing of the antimicrobial use is a difficult task due to more than 200 aquatic species are

Though these facts give a positive outlook, with progress comes many setbacks. The informative view of Guinea Worm Disease from this documentary gives a good example of global health. With the concern of health worldwide, some of the most critical factors in global health are the following: the determinants of health, measurement of health

Scientists have studied the impact of water borne pathogens over time. Just how dependent human life is on the waterways is one such question which arises. The study involves the effect of such pathogens on human life. This study was narrowed down to the area of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. The Chesapeake Bay each weekend is occupied for recreational use. Such activities as swimming, fishing, and body surfing are common place. Normally each year thousands of pounds of seafood are distributed from out of the bay. There is a vast amount of people who come to visit the area each year.

The new guinea flatworm is from the united states of America.this worm is native to the island of New Guinea where it was originally to have been found in. You can find these worms in tropical areas,coastlands ,planted forests, riparian zones shrubs and urban areas as well.it feeds on earthworms ,slugs and arthopods. This worm can harm the snail called The Giant East African Snail. This worm also can mainly eat mollusks and it especially likes to prey on snail. To hunt for it's prey the worm deposits itself to the bottom of a cabbage leave. It also can follow snail mucus trails to find it`s trail. It also has a infectious rate at least 14.1% and this thing usually lives on cabbage leaves. This worm not only affects the whole population of animals or a specific area this worm can affect humans as

The man left Liberia on the 19th of September and arrived in America on the 20th without any symptoms. But four days later, the symptom of the disease appeared and began to develop. On the 26th, he initially sought medical

Two out of every five people living in Sub-Saharan Africa lack safe water. A baby there is 500 times more likely to die from water-related illness than one from the United States. This is a serious ongoing issue that requires the rest of the world to take action. Water spreads diseases easily if the necessary precautions are not taken. Many developing African countries don’t have sewage treatment, or the people don’t have methods to filter and disinfect. Once a person is sick either there is no way to cure them, or medical care is too expensive, so they are left untreated with a high risk of death. Although many believe that the fight for sanitary water in Africa is insurmountable, people in these developing countries can overcome their challenge to access clean water and avoid water-borne diseases through proper sewage treatment facilities, universal water filtration and medical care.

Guinea Worm disease caused by the infection of a guinea worm also called dracunculiasis. The infection is spread through water sources that contains the guinea worm in which they don’t present symptoms that fast. After a year of been infected that patient present symptoms of intense pains of burning mostly in their legs and dizziness, as we have seen in the video where the disease appears every April of each year. This disease is mainly found in Africa.

Methods: In this experiment, results were found by discovering the kinds of bacteria found in the given pond water samples. The first step in this experiment was to prepare the pond samples by completing serial dilutions of the pond water to the 10-4. We then had to prepare five separate plates by streaking the 10-4 dilutes. These plates all had different treatments. The treatments were pond 16, pond 22, pond 22 with penicillin, pond 22 with ampicillin, and pond 22 with colistin sulfate. The plates that were treated with antibiotics required 0.1 mL of the designated

When traveling to and from exotic locations, vacationers are warned about drinking untreated water, swimming in freshwater lakes and streams, and against eating certain foods. The risks for contracting a parasitic disease while abroad are pretty well defined and as a traveler you are made aware. Less known are the risks here at home. It is a fact however that parasitic diseases in the US are on the rise. According to Dr. Oz “approximately 1 in 3 Americans is infected with an intestinal parasite at any given time.” Specific statistic are not available because most Americans who are infected may be unaware. Often the symptoms of neglected parasitic infections are troublesome, however, vague. Therefore treatment is not immediately sought and even

The human immune system defends the body from any bacteria, viruses, bad cells, and in this case a parasite. According to Zabi Safi who studied Immunology says that the immune system activates Eosinophils to try to exterminate the tape worm. This method is proven useful however large tape worms are immune to this therefore staying alive inside of your body feeding on your nutrients. If this is the case there are antibodies and drugs. According to Mayo clinic staff medication to get rid of a tapeworm includes drugs like praziquantel (Biltricide), Albendazole (Albenza), Nitazoxanide (Alinia). And in extreme circumstances surgery may be

The guinea worm disease is most common in Africa. There is only about 1,000 US cases per year, but still it’s very rare to obtain in the US. The Guinea Worm Disease is a parasitic infection occurs and thrives off of dirty water. This disease has been terminated from most parts of the world but the most cases occur in parts of Africa. The reason being, in Africa it is not easy to come across clean water, therefore, the guinea worm thrives in Africa.

Once detected in an animal at the shelter, the animal receives a treatment. A second coccidias test must be done (2 to 4 weeks later) to determine if there are still parasites in the animal, if this is the case a second treatment is administered. If the animal is adopted after its first treatment it is the owners responsibility to take the animal to a veterinary clinic to perform a stool test to determine if the animal free of parasites. The best way to get rid of coccidias in the environment is hot steam.

The main way that this worm is transmitted to humans is because pigs eat food that is infected

Drenches are veterinary products which contain liquid formulation for oral administration that is used to kill internal and external parasites in most of the livestock especially in sheep. It serves mainly as a deworming purpose and 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 of the livestock. Basically, there are three major types of drenches which are the suspensions, solutions and emulsions. (P.Junquera, 2015) Drenches can become a broad spectrum when they treat an extensive range of internal parasites or a narrow spectrum when they treat only a restricted range of internal parasites. (Sheep Worms: Signs, Management Plan, Control, & Drenching, 2015) There are several chemical groups in drenches and each of them have a specific mode of action on the worm. Drench test can be carried out regularly to ensure the effectiveness of certain drenches to a particular parasitic worm. Several steps have to be taken carefully as well when drenching as inappropriate drenching may cause the drench resistance. Combinations of various drenches are implemented in order to prevent the occurrence of drench resistance whereby the worms are resistant to a certain type of drenches. (Drenches, n.d.) Thus, it is very important to preserve several effective drenches to cope with this problem.
