Summary Introduction
To explain:
The scientific reasoning that was involved in developing the germ theory of disease.
Introduction:
Answering a scientific question or understanding a natural phenomenon requires careful observation of the facts that offer possible explanation for it. These explanations are then tested for validation. Once they are proven correct, they become a theory. Upon universal acceptance and repeated validation, a theory become a law.

- Parasitology is a science of interaction between organisms. Explainarrow_forwardDescribe the way the Germ Theory of Disease would predict how a suspected causative agent would act according to the first two postulates if the suspected causative agent was a pathogen but not an infectious disease.arrow_forwardGive a conclusion The study of microorganisms and parasites also involves specimen collection for observation and further study. Collection of specimens of this type should be done in such a manner that the health care provider collecting the specimen should also be free from contamination and infection. In this manner, the specimen collection technique is of great use. Cellulose tape perianal swab is a method involved in the collection of pinworms scientifically known as Enterobius vermicularis, a common parasite thriving in the lower digestive tract of humans infecting most children and even in adults. Symptoms of this disease are itching around the anus. No serious medical consequences are caused by pinworms but constant itching may cause infection around the anus area. Urine sample collection is another form of specimen collection urine samples are collected for biochemical and microbial sampling. A proper method of urine sample collection is essential for correct…arrow_forward
