There are several types of parasites such as Ectoparasite- which is a parasite that lives on the host’s surface, examples will be hair and body lice and mites. Endoparasites – One that lives inside the host, for example heartworm, tapeworm and flatworms. Epiparasite- This one feeds on another parasite. For example, fleas and ticks. 1.2 Identify common illness and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
When night falls, pill bugs venture out in search of food or a mate. The bugs mate in the spring, and usually mate three times in their life. Pill bugs live up to about 3 years, but usually less. After mating, the mother bug internally keeps her eggs in a pouch on the underside of her body. After about a month and a half the eggs hatch, but stay in the pouch for another two months.
Mealworm Lab Report Introduction: This experiment was all about mealworms, and what items a mealworm prefers to eat or drink. A mealworm is an arthropod. It grows into a beetle called the Darkling Beetle. Mealworms are really just the larval stage of a beetle’s life cycle. They average at about an inch long and have a hard brownish yellow exoskeleton.
Usually home pregnancy tests are accurate after the first day of a woman's missed period. Pregnancy tests search for HGC in the urine. During the First Trimester of pregnancy, women will experience “morning sickness” which is when women have extreme nausea, especially in the morning. Women also tend to experience abnormal fatigue during the first
Fred Thompson Zoology 2/19/13 Heart Rate of Blackworms Experiment Introduction Blackworms are a species of worm that typically lives in shallow water habitats. They feed on microscopic organisms and organic matter. The scientific name for Blackworms is Lumbriculus variegatus and their classification is as follows: Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Annelida, Class: Clitellata, Subclass: Oligochaeta, Order Lumbriculida, Family Lumbriculidae and Genus: Lumbriculus (Svahn, 2009). An adult black worm can have anywhere from 130 segments to 250 segments. These segments are capable of forming a completely new black worm when detached from the host body, and in most Blackworms is the primary for of siring offspring.
Plants, animals, humans, fish, birds and reptiles can all be host to parasites. Head lice, thread and other worms are all parasites; they survive by feeding on the blood of their host. Some bacteria and viruses could be considered parasites. 1:2 Identify common illnesses and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites Bacterial Infections: Salmonellas/ food poisoning, tuberculosis/TB, MRSA, coccidiosis, food poisoning, dysentery, bronchitis, ear infections, tonsillitis. Viral
Tapeworms can grow to be at least twenty-two feet in somebody’s body. There is two different types of parasites. There is ectoparasites that stay on a person’s body surface to feed and there is endoparasites that live in a someone’s
There are different types of fungi for example mushrooms are a fungi and some cheeses have fungi in them, however fungi can also cause illnesses such as Candida, this is yeast that causes infection. Fungi are also responsible for skin problems such as, oral thrush, athlete’s foot and ringworm. A Parasite is an organism that lives inside another organism, which is known as the host. The host can be for eg, a human being, animal. The parasite is dependent on its host for survival, it has to be in the host to live, grow and multiply.
Sowbug Animal Behavior Lab Purpose of Lab Activity: The purpose of this lab activity is to observe various aspects of terrestrial isopods. Also to conduct experiments examining the responses of isopods to various environmental factors. Background Information and Characteristics: Sowbugs are crustaceans, they are related to lobsters, crabs, and shrimp, and breath through their gills. These bugs live in dark moist habitats and will try to flee when they feel threatened. Many organisms exhibit a tactile response, in this case the sow bugs will either move towards a positive environment or away from a negative environment.
Malaria is a contagious disease caused by five different Plasmodium parasites that have similar life cycles.1 These parasites have a complex life cycle that requires an insect vector most commonly female Anopheles mosquito and a human host. The life cycle of the malaria parasite is composed of human stages and mosquito stages.2 The discovery of the first stage during which the parasites develop in the liver before entering the blood stream was done by Henry Shortt and Cyril Garnham in 1948. In 1982, another discovery was made by Wojciech Krotoski demonstrating the presence of dormant period in the liver that occurs in the final stage. These discoveries play an important role in the understanding of the life cycle of malaria prasites.1 Moreover,
