Introduction: This article tested the Dilution Effect model, which predicts that high species diversity in the community of tick host reduces vector infection prevalence by diluting the effects of the most competent disease reservoir, the white footed mouse. This study suggests that the preservation of vertebrate biodiversity and community composition can reduce the incidence of Lyme disease. The Dilution Effect hypothesis is decreasing infection prevalence in the tick population with increasing

Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource created from deceased prehistoric animal and plant remains. This is accomplished over millions of years, in which variables of heat and pressure cause the remains to be transformed into hydrocarbons. The United States depends on oil for around 36% of its energy demand, of this about 71% is directed to transportation, 24% to manufacturing and industrial applications, 5% to commercial and residential areas. An interesting fact is that even though oil and gas are

Executive Summary Rohm & Haas recently introduced a new product, Kathon MWX, in order to exploit an untapped portion (reservoir capacity under 1,000 gallons) of the biocide market. Even with limited competition within this segment, Kathon MWX has not been able to produce its annual target revenues, only capitalizing on roughly 6% of said target in a 5 month period. Large-scale distributors, who exhibit the most buyer power and influence over end customers in the industry, threaten manufacturer

Magat Dam Magat Dam in Ramon, Isabela used to be the largest dam in the Philippines back when it was built in 1983. The controversial San Roque Dam (featured previously) has since eclipsed it in both structural and reservoir size in 2004. Magat Dam generates 360 megawatts of electricity (with a water head of 81 meters high) and supplies irrigation water for approximately 85,000 hectares of farmland in Isabela and surrounding areas. The dam was constructed at a cost of 6.5 billion pesos and consists

presence of a second drug/toxin would affectthrow off the unbound concentration of the first. This would decrease the concentration of the drug/toxin to be distributed to the rest of the system while increasing the concentration of the drug/toxin in its unbound state. This means that less of the drug is being distributed to the site of action if the site of administration is not the site of action and the pharmacological effect of the drug/toxin will be much greater than anticipated initially because

environmental system Hydrologic cycle = summarizes how liquid, gaseous and solid water flows through the environment Oceans are the main reservoir Evaporation = water moves from aquatic and land systems to air Transpiration = release of water vapor by plants Precipitation = condensation of water vapor as rain or snow Groundwater Aquifers = underground reservoirs of sponge-like regions of rock and soil that hold … Groundwater = water found underground beneath layers of soil Water table = the upper

without dying. This animal that holds the disease is known as a reservoir host. The article focusses on research on finding the reservoir host. Many cases of Ebola have been reported and studied. All reports have a common source of the initial sick individual having some connection with a cave or forest. This like another similar virus, Marburg, have its beginnings of its outbreaks with hunters or explorers. Marburg’s reservoir host has been determined to be a species of fruit bat. Many researchers

the Nile was powerful and they could not live without it. Also, the Egyptians praised the Nile for giving life to Egypt and providing food and water. As written in Hymn to the Nile, it states, “No more reservoirs for watering the fields!”. This means that the Egyptians did not need reservoirs when it flooded. According to Hymn of the Nile it also says “Mankind desires you, supplicating you to answer their prayers; You answer them by the inundation!”. The Ancient Egyptians believed that the

multiply), and invasiveness (ability to enter tissue) and pathogenicity (cause disease) defines infectious disease (VDH). The reservoir is the place where the microorganism lives and thrives examples of these places are as follows; water, food, toilet seats, elevator buttons, human feces, respiratory secretions (VDH). Next, the portal of exit where the organism leaves the reservoir through a mode of transmission, and the organism is transported from one carrier to an additional either through direct transmission
