The Porcelain Berry, scientifically known as Ampelopsis brevipedunculata, is an invasive plant native to Northeast Asia in countries including China, Korea, Japan and far-eastern Russia. It was introduced into the US in the 1870s and can be found in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, North Carolina and a few other eastern states.  Like other invasive vines, it climbs over native plants and shades them, consequentially killing them. A few fun facts: Though the Porcelain berry is invasive, it also has a huge amount of health benefits, including helping with problems like boils, abscesses, ulcers, traumatic bruises, aches, breast cancer and bleeding hemorrhoids. It is also edible, but not very tasty. Its consistency is bland and a bit slimy; not sweet at all.

The Orconectes rusticus, otherwise commonly known as the Rusty Crayfish, is an invasive species. they are considered invasive because of the larger size and aggressive nature of it. They have been introduced to a body of water makes it harder for them to be preyed upon by native species of fish, which are not accustomed to crayfish fighting them back. Because these rusty crayfish populations have basically taken over the natives species' habitats and forced them out of their homes, many populations of native crayfish have experienced a huge decline over the past 50 years and the rusty crayfish has become the dominant species in much of the Midwestern part of the US. A cool fact about these crayfish is that in the dominance hierarchy system, these crayfish seem to favor the size of the fish over anything else, including gender. That being said, if a female is bigger than a male, the female would be considered the most powerful of the two. They are also native to the Southeastern US, but invasive to any other area.

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is a pathogenic chytrid fungus that infects amphibian species. no information is given of when it was introduced into the US, but Bsal was first detected in wild salamanders in Europe in 2013. Although salamanders and newts seem very susceptible, a few anuran species also are affected. Bsal came up currently and poses a prime risk to species in Europe and North America. Another study found that this species had diverged from B. dendrobatidis from the Late Cretaceous or early Paleogene. While preliminary susceptibility studying confirmed frogs and caecilians appeared to be proof against Bsal infection, it is seemingly deadly to many European and a few North American salamanders. Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is closely associated with the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) which is thought to have an effect on greater than two hundred amphibian species, is connected to spread via the global pet trade, has caused extinctions, and remains a main cause of amphibian mortality happenings worldwide. The overall Bsal risk  to salamanders is highest in the eastern United States, particularly in the mid-Atlantic states of New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

Plasmodium knowlesi, is a parasite that is known for  causing  malaria in humans and other animals alike. It is found throughout Southeast Asia and is the most common cause of human malaria in Malaysia, where it originates. Like other malaria parasite species, P knowlesi has a life cycle that requires it to infect both mosquitoes and  warm-blooded hosts. Although the natural warm-blooded hosts of P. knowlesi are likely to be various monkeys,  P. knowlesi can be transmitted to humans when fed on by infected mosquitoes. This protist is especially invasive because it spreads so quirky through mosquitoes to other animals and humans. It was introduced in 1932. 3 facts about P. knowlesi include: The estimated number of malaria deaths worldwide stood at 619,000 in 2021. People with malaria usually have very high fevers, influenza-like symptoms, chills and they may also have a headache and experience vomiting. If not treated, the disease caused by P. knowlesi, malaria, can swiftly become life-threatening by disrupting the blood supply to your vital organs.

Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus is a Gram-positive, spherical bacterium, a member of the alpha- or beta-hemolytic aerotolerant anaerobic Streptococcus genus. They  usually occur in pairs, do not form spores, and are not motile.  Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of otitis media (middle ear infections), sepsis (blood infections and poisoning) in children, and pneumonia in immunocompromised patients and the elderly. It can also cause bacterial meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and sinus infections. It was first isolated  from the saliva of a rabies patient by Louis Pasteur in 1881. The main way people spread this nasty bacteria to others is through direct contact with respiratory droplets, but it can also be spread through animals, whether it's with salivary contact or not. The harm that this bacterium causes includes sickness and death if not treated right. One fact is, Most S. pneumoniae serotypes can cause disease, although only a few serotypes cause the bulk of pneumococcal infections.
