Heartworm Research Paper

The new guinea flatworm is from the united states of America.this worm is native to the island of New Guinea where it was originally to have been found in. You can find these worms in tropical areas,coastlands ,planted forests, riparian zones shrubs and urban areas as well.it feeds on earthworms ,slugs and arthopods. This worm can harm the snail called The Giant East African Snail. This worm also can mainly eat mollusks and it especially likes to prey on snail. To hunt for it's prey the worm deposits itself to the bottom of a cabbage leave. It also can follow snail mucus trails to find it`s trail. It also has a infectious rate at least 14.1% and this thing usually lives on cabbage leaves. This worm not only affects the whole population of animals or a specific area this worm can affect humans as

In addition to causing a problem with the snail population, the New Guinea Flatworm is also bringing a massive problem into the U.S. that deeply affects humans. This problem is a parasite called the rat lungworm, which New Guinea Flatworms carry. These parasites burrow into the brain and can be spread to humans. The symptoms of those infected with rat lungworm are muscle aches and light sensitivity, but most people recover without ever knowing what

In our fourth and final lab for Biology 100, we are dealing with the beetle larva mealworms. This worm-like animal is, in fact, not a worm; they are larva for the tenebrionid beetle. These larvae are most commonly used in order to feed household pets. For example: reptiles, fish, and birds. Tenebrio larvae are also considered pests to the most businesses.

Purpose: We want to see if putting a worm or organism in different temperature will change the rate of CO2. We predict cold will make the process slow down. Hot will speed it up, and with room

Guinea Worm disease caused by the infection of a guinea worm also called dracunculiasis. The infection is spread through water sources that contains the guinea worm in which they don’t present symptoms that fast. After a year of been infected that patient present symptoms of intense pains of burning mostly in their legs and dizziness, as we have seen in the video where the disease appears every April of each year. This disease is mainly found in Africa.

The mealworm is the larva of the mealworm beetle which is a specie of darkling beetle (Animals.mom.me, 2016). The darkling beetle has a metamorphic life cycle that begins with an egg hatching into a small mealworm over a four week period (Sandhyarani, 2016). The second life stage of a darkling beetle is the larva stage where the egg will hatch into a small brown mealworm that eats and grows for about eight to ten weeks till its next stage as a darkling beetle pupa (Sandhyarani, 2016). The larva stage of a darkling beetle is the stage in which the mealworms will be investigated. The mealworm will then enter the pupa stage during one of its shell sheds causing the mealworm to

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

This disease is an infection, and this infection may be very serious, it can spread to other parts of the body, including the dog's vital organs, that include the heart and lungs. Infections in any of these organs are especially serious and can prove to be fatal.

Canine Heartworm Disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by the parasite Dirofilaria Immitis. The disease can infect over 30 species, including humans, however dogs are the definitive host.

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

Mature beet armyworm larva feed on the chili leaves. The organic method to control the beet armyworm is by providing biological control as their natural enemy that can parasitize the larvae. The application of Bacillus thuringiensis can also help to control them.

Lungworm (also known as the husk), is caused by the worm Dictyocaulus viviparus. Lungworms live in the airways of the lungs and can cause severe respiratory problems and coughing. It can affect both young and adult animals after they have been exposed to infected pastures for grazing. Lungworm mainly affects cattle, but has also been seen in other ruminants, such as sheep, goats and deer. The number of cases in lungworm has risen since the 1990s, mostly due to wet summers.

American children are taught throughout their primary education. That the native American population was almost wiped completely out by a disease from early settlers and conquistador. However they are not told that the disease used by these early invaders was known as smallpox. An pox virus that had appeared from time to time in the old world and laid waste to population centers. But where did it come from, are there different forms of this mysterious pathogen, is their a treatment, and how has it affected our world.

Now that you are already acquainted with Ringworm and its causes and treatments it is time you also get to understand well, the different stages of Ringworm. This will help you in identifying whether you are having mild or severe ringworm, whether it is spreading fast or not and stuff like that. However, it is important to remember that whether mild or severe once you get ringworm it is a must that you consult a specialist and start your treatment as soon as possible.

The Earthworm is a crucial component of the environment due to their interactions with soil which then, in turn, provides benefits to other living organisms such as their burrowing behavior, which allows nutrients, air, and water to delve deeper into the soil. After soil is swallowed by the pharynx, the food matter is sent through the esophagus and into the crop, where the soil is stored until it interacts with the gizzard. The main function of the gizzard to grind the soils so that it can enter the intestine, where gland cells within release fluid to aid in the process. When organic matter is finally excreted from the intestine to the anus through the worm through the process of casting, more nutrients are introduce into the soil that benefit plant life. The earthworm also has a brain located behind its pharynx, called the cerebral ganglia, that is crucial for movement. The
