to have their lives saved by human organ transplantation.1 As a result of this shortage, there has been a tremendous demand for research in alternative methods of organ transplantation. Private companies are racing to develop these technologies with an estimated market of six billion dollars.2 Xenotransplantation, or cross-species organ transplantation, appears to be the most likely solution in the near future, and cloned pigs are the main candidates. Pigs and humans have remarkable similarities
vinegar. Humans usually have a problem keeping their food safe and clean at the same time to prevent from getting sick. But what they don’t know is that the way they preserve their food can be very dangerous. Since the drying effect of salt has been used for thousands of years, it usually takes
poliovirus type I were (6), type II (3) and type III (6), number of samples that have mix types of poliovirus were (4). Confirmed results show the numbers of samples that contain type I, type II and type III were 9,3and 10 in respectively and all viruses were sabin type only (There is no wild types of poliovirus were isolated). INTRODUCTION Poliovirus belong to
Immunoglobulin (Ig) or Antibody (AB) is a protein that is in the shape of a Y that is produced by plasma cells and use by the immune system. These proteins are then utilized to identify and attack bacteria and viruses. Immunoglobulin is clearly a very important protein in our human bodies as well as being very integral to our survival and our ability to fend off foreign molecules. This has lead to a lot of deep research regarding this protein. By knowing the proteins exact structure and functions
a local farmer would. Cows from a factory farm will not receive the proper nutrients that a cow from another farm would receive. This is because in a factory farm the cows get injected with antibiotics. In the article Effects of Factory Farming on Human Health it states that “Animals on factory farms are routinely treated with antibiotics, because they may otherwise become ill or die living in the cramped, dirty conditions of intensive farms.” This is something that people would not have to worry
impacts a variety of people, places, and animals in the world. The articles reviewed discuss the different cases where avian influenza outbreak has impacted a major area and how they are ridding the virus. The articles vary from how the virus affects humans, to how it affects other animals, and the precautions used by different areas if the virus encounters. Conducted Research In the article “Avian Influenza: An Agricultural Perspective,” Andrea Morgan (2006) researched the impact avian influenza has
¬¬¬Throughout the duration of humanity, illnesses have affected millions of lives. To combat these viruses, the study of medicine was born and since quality of life has improved drastically. From simple herbalism used by ancient apothecaries and shamans, all the way up to advanced synthetic antibiotic tablets used today, medicine is evolving. As such this snowball effect in our understanding of anatomy and medicine seems to continue in its upward trend as scientists are beginning to experiment with
Semester 2014 Unknown Report Introduction The definition of Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with microorganisms. Microorganisms are very small organisms that require the use of a micro scope to visualize them, which are bacterium, viruses, fungi (the most common) and others which are not so common such as parasites. Microorganisms are an essential element to the field of microbiology because it allows researchers in the field to find specific illness caused by a specific organism,
Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever is caused by a virus found in the family of filoviridae, in genus known as ebolavirus. There are currently four known Ebola virus strands that are deadly to humans. The virus is transmitted through bodily fluids so it can be transferred via mucosal surfaces or abrasions on the skin when being in direct contact to an infected person. It is highly pathogenic and causes death in approx. 50 -90% of all known cases. This laboratory and numerous experiments has shown that antigen

Pollution of waterways has significant implications on human health, especially from a pathogen perspective. Strategies are used to minimize pollution and the impact on human health. However, these methods can be limited
