Scalp Ringworm, Pediatric Scalp ringworm (tinea capitis) is a fungal infection of the skin on the scalp. This condition is easily spread from person to person (contagious). Ringworm also can be spread from animals to humans.

This condition is spread by having direct contact with: • Other infected people. • Infected animals and pets, such as dogs or cats. • Bedding, hats, combs, or brushes that are shared with an infected person.

Just last month, a deadly worm was found in not one, but four locations in the U.S. state of Florida. This worm, until recently, was documented in only twenty-one countries, most of which were island nations. Although the New Guinea Flatworm may seem as a highly dangerous predator, it is only about two inches in length and mainly targets snails for its nutrition. These worms are not harmful to humans, but they will feast on any soft creature in the soil. In order to eat snails or any critters with a hard shell, the New Guinea Flatworm latches itself onto the shell’s opening and then spits out its own stomach through the opening in its belly. This allows an acidic goo to dissolve the snail’s flesh and the worm can continue on with its meal by swallowing both its stomach and the snail.

These worms can cause severe damage in organs as well as cause lung disease and heart failure. This disease has been found to affect dogs, cats, ferrets, wolves, coyotes, foxes, and sea lions. Which the information I learned from my research, I will be discussing the history of heartworm, what causes it, the symptoms and clinical signs, how to diagnose it, the treatment need, as well as preventing it.
Background- This lab is being done to demonstrate the effects of stimulants on the circulatory system of blackworms. In this lab, the stimulant we have chosen to use is Nicotine. A stimulant is an agent that causes increased activity, especially in the nervous or cardiovascular systems. In this lab, we will put blackworms into the Nicotine to look at the differences in pulse rates when compared to a control. The proper name for blackworms is Lumbriculus Variegatus, they are freshwater worms most commonly found in North America and Europe. The blood in blackworms circulates from the dorsal blood vessel toward the head through a series of
The topic I am writing about is the recent screwworm parasite outbreak in Florida. This is the first U.S. invasion of this lethal critter in thirty years. In at least two locations near the Florida Keys, samples confirm the screwworm invasion. The screwworm is deadly even though it looks like an ordinary fly. It feeds on living tissue and can “kill a fully grown steer in 10 days” (Guarino & Post, 2016). The only way these creatures can be killed off is with a fire that includes gamma radiation and X-rays. This creature can infect not only animals and humans, but also livestock. With the absence of the screwworms, it has saved the livestock industry over $900 million. These are a few reasons why this topic is worth considering. Many animal and

Contact with the feces can infect anyone who is exposed to it. Symptoms of a whipworm infection include, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,headaches, unexpected weight loss, painful bowel movements, incontinence, and bloody diarrhea.
In a first of its kind experiment, Scientists have set out to determine whether hairworms voluntarily change the behavior of their terrestrial hosts so that they are more likely to seek and remain close to water. Over two consecutive summers, scientists gathered a list of insects which visited the swimming pool and monitored their actions and behavior to see whether their hypothesis was correct. In previous accounts of this theory, people have found that insects who have been infected by hairworms will unwillingly jump into an area with an abundance of water, not knowing that they are in danger. Once the host has entered water, hairworms have a more

Ring Worm or Tinea is a common skin disorder which is usually caused by fungus. There are different strains of Tinea which is reported for the responsibility of this disorder. Among the different types of ringworm some common types are discussed in the following: Tinea corporis mainly affects the skin where Tinea pedis mainly affects feet causing Athletes Foot disease & Tinea cruris affects mainly the groin area causing Jock Itch disease.
