Parasites may be protozoa, yeasts or multicellular organisms. Parasites have complicated life cycles, involving different hosts. 2. Identify common illnesses and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites Illnesses caused by bacteria: MRSA, Clostridium Difficile, TB, Pneumonia, Salmonella, etc. Illnesses caused by viruses: Chickenpox, Common Cold, Hepatitis, Herpes, HIV, Influenza, Measles, Mumps, Noravirus, etc.
1.2 Identify common illnesses and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites Bacteria commonly causes strep throat, urinary tract infections, tuberculosis, etc. Viruses commonly cause anything from the common cold to AIDS, including; chicken pox, flu, herpes, mumps, measles, rubella, shingles, etc. Fungus commonly cause athlete's foot, yeast infections, etc. Parasites such as tape worms and ringworms can cause; trichomoniasis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis. 1.3 Describe what is meant by “infection” and “colonisation” Infection is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms that are not normally present in the body, they come in the forms of bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc.
1.2 Identify common illnesses and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites Bacteria Lyme disease, Tuberculosis, tetanus, MRSA, whooping cough Viruses Polio, Norovirus, common cold, flu, chicken pox Fungi Ringworm, athletes foot, oral thrush Parasites Worms, ticks, lice, mites 1.3 Describe what is meant by 'infection' and 'colonisation' Infection Infection is the invasion on bodily tissues by disease causing microorganisms Colonisation Colonisation is when an invasion of disease or bacteria populate a specific area of the body which can cause the body's immune system to break down. 1.4 Explain what is meant by 'systemic infection' and 'localised infection' Systemic infection This is where infection spreads throughout the whole body or affects several organs or tissues. Conditions like type 2 diabetes or AIDS are examples of this. Localised infection This is confined to one organ system or area in the body e.g. abscess or boil.
They live on or in their host for an extended period of time. Fungi comes in many different forms, some of which we eat (such a yeast and mushrooms). Other forms include moulds. Some forms of fungi can cause serious harm to humans. 2.2 Identify Common Illnesses and Infections Caused by Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and Parasites * Bacteria – Salmonella, E-coli, tetanus, typhoid fever, cholera * Virus – Aids, common cold, cold sores, influenza * Fungi – Athletes Foot, candidoses, ringworm * Parasites – Ticks, fleas, lungworm 2.3 Describe what is Meant by ‘Infection’ and ‘Colonisation’ Infection is the invasion of a living host’s bodily tissue by disease causing organisms that multiply in the body and cause illness.
Running head: Giardia Giardia Carla Linder University of Phoenix Abstract In the follow document you will learn how to identify the causes, view a list of the symptoms, and observe the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention associated with the parasite giardia also known as amoeba parasites. Giardiasis is the most frequently diagnosed intestinal parasitic disease in the United States. Giardia lamblia is a protozoa (an amoebic parasite) and it lives in the water, food, and soil. Giardia or amoeba parasites The infectious agent or pathogen that causes this infectious disease is a microscopic parasite called Giardia lamblia. Giardia lamblia is a single celled organism that causes a diarrheal infection of the small intestines and is one of the most common parasites in the United States.
More extensive skin infection such as cellulitis, a bacterial infection of the deeper layers of skin and the layer of fat and soft tissues under the skin can also be contracted. If the MRSA bacteria penetrate deeper inside your body or into your blood, they can cause serious infections. These invasive MRSA infections signs may include having a fever, chills, dizziness, confusion, muscular aches and pains and
• Ileocolic Cr Ulcerative colitis (UC) • Crohn's disease (CD) The Crohn's Disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases have different causes. Often there is a genetic susceptibility that allows a virus or bacteria to trigger an unnatural immune reaction. This results in the bowels becoming inflamed. Crohn’s disease can look like an autoimmune disease and some researchers think that there may be immune deficiencies at the start of the disease. The inflammation of Crohn’s disease goes deeply into layers of the intestinal wall.
Unit IC02 Cause and spread of infection outcome 1 1.Identify the differences between bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites Bacteria – bacteria are extremely small singular organisms which are found almost everywhere. Viruses – it is a coated genetic material that invades cells and use’s the cells apparatus for reproduction.Fungi – it is a multi-celled living organismParasites – they are types of living plants and animals that derive benefit from the metabolism of other animals and plants. 2. common illness and infection caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites Bacteria – Food poisoning, bronchitis, ear infections, tonsillitis. Viruses – common cold, stomach flu,warts .Fungi – Athletes foot, ring worm, yeast infection.Parasites – worms, malaria, trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) 3. describe what is meant by infection and colonisation Infection – is an invasion to body tissues from a disease- caused micro-organism.Colonisation – is multiplication of micro-organisms without tissue invasion or damage. 4. explain what is meant by systemic infection and localised infection Systemic – is when infection is distributed throughout the whole body.Localized – is when infection is limited to a specific part of the body.
Ehrlichiosis Waukesha County Technical College Ehrlichiosis Ehrlichiosis is a bacterial disease caused by a tick bite. It can infect humans and animals and lives in the white blood cells of its host. This paper will be about the pathogens/virulence factors, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and epidemiology of ehrlichiosis. To start with, the pathogens of ehrlichiosis are three different types of bacterial species: Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia ewingii, and Ehrlichia muris-like (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). The family the bacteria belong to is called Rickettsiae.
