large reptiles as pets

What I learned from the video was, what I have already known about reptiles the video didn't really help me at all. Now a reptiles as a pet, I really don't care the just another organism to have as a companion. The only thing I care about is how people over react to the reptiles in a city. they don't know how do deal with them and don't realize that most are not dangerous. If you let be alone  take it out of the city that's fine.Hhave one as a pet that also fine. But when you call 911 on a snake you have problems just get rid of the snake there just an animals it most likely not going to kill you.

schistosoma japonicum
                                    

                                                 Schistosoma japonicum is an important parasite and one of the major infectious agents of schistosomiasis. It is the cause of schistosomiasis japonica, a disease that still remains a significant health problem especially in lake and marshland regions and it only found in china. Praziquantel is generally administered in an oral form.  To prevent the disease you should properly dispose of human waste.

fasciola hepatica

                  

                                      Fasciola hepatica is also known as the common liver fluke or sheep liver fluke. The disease caused by the fluke is called fascioliasis is distributed worldwide, and causes great economic losses in sheep and cattle. The drug of choice in the treatment of fascioliasis is triclabendazole.

Taenia solium

Taenia solium also called the pork tapeworm. It infects pigs and humans in Asia, Africa, South America, parts of Southern Europe and North America. T. solium is found worldwide, but is more common in cosmopolitan areas. Praziquantel (PZQ) is the drug of choice for the treatment of T. solium infection.

Part 4 - Virions, Prions, and Viruses

Learning Target:  I can compare and contrast viroids, prions, and viruses. Step 1: Use a sampling of the Web sites below to learn about prions, the diseases they cause, and the steps that the United States has taken to help prevent the spread of prion-related diseases. Take notes to help you remember what you learn. The united states setup an organization called The National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center . Step 2: Use this information to evaluate whether we are safe from the prion that has been linked to prion diseases found in animals. Describe how you would propose protecting the public from prion diseases. Prion diseases are rare but most of the time fatal. Step 3: Prions are unusual disease agents. Explain exactly how they cause disease? What can be done to stop the spread of prion diseases? What are the types of prion diseases found in animals and in humans?  How are they similar and different?

part 3

 Part A: Vaccines

 1.  What virus is believed to have killed more people in history than any other infectious disease?
Smallpox
2.  Who developed the first vaccine (inoculation)?     In what year?     Against what virus?
Edward Jenner developed an inoculation against smallpox in 1796.

3.  Vaccines work by injecting people with similar, weakened, or dead forms of a pathogen in order to increase immunity in the host. To create the first inoculation, Jenner infected his patient with what virus?    Did it work?
He inject a boy with cowpox waited then injected him with smallpox.
4.  What body system helps you when a pathogen (virus or bacteria) invades the body?
 the immune system is the systems that tries to purge your body of disease. 
5.  Describe in detail how a vaccine helps your immune system to fight off pathogens?

Part B.

Basically your body fights off the weaker strain and the when the real strain came it had no effect.

1.    Briefly describe the six types of vaccines and provide an example for each in your description.

2.  Choose one type of vaccine that is the most interesting to you and complete the interactive instructions.  Summarize the steps you took to create the vaccine.

Part C

1.    How many people die from rabies each year? (How many people every 10 minutes?)
55,000 one every ten mines
2.  What causes rabies? 
a bullet shaped virus that damages the brain
3.  Where is the rabies virus found?
every were but antartica
4.  What animals in North America can carry rabies (specific names)?
raccoons, scanks and bads
5.  How does rabies spread?
physical contact
6.  What body system is affected with rabies?
the nerves system
7. Are rabies shot really horrible for people?  How are they given?
nope its just like any other shot
8. What steps should you take to prevent rabies?
avoid stray animals
Watch the two videos below.

2.   What Animals are Most Likely to be Rabid? Answer that question after watching.

Dogs, raccoons , foxes

3.  Watch the video Rabies Symptoms. After watching the video describe rabies symptoms in humans hallucinations, tingling at the wound, prolonged salivation, respiratory problems and heart problems.

part 2

The lytic and lysogenic cycle both start with one phage lambda attaches its self to the cell and inject it DNA into the cell. They after that it can go one of two ways. In the lytic cycle the DNA breaks down the cell into proteins and makes other virus. Then the host cell is destroyed. In lysogenic cycle the DNA becomes a apart of the DNA and after the there is some sort of trigger that makes the DNA breaks up into proteins and makes viruses.  

part I

1.             Who is credited with discovering the virus?

 Robert Buist was the first to see the viruses, in an experiment in which he was examining cells taken from skin eruptions of small pox patients.

    2.       Is a virus a living thing?

 They are not sure if viruses are alive, there still being investigated whether or not they are.

    3.       Viruses are incredibly small.  Why are we not able to see viruses with the compound light microscopes we use in the science lab?

 Their too small to see with a compound microscope, you need an electron microscope to see them

    4.       What shapes do viruses assume?

They have all sorts of shapes like spheres, cubes, tadpole like, and rods.
  
    5.       How does a virus invade a host cell? 

Basically they attach to a cell, penetrated it and go inside and multiple until the cell bursts. 

    6.       Locate a photograph of a virus through Google Images. Open the paint program and draw your virus.  Label the main parts of the virus using the terms above.
