It is formation of granuloma which is firm and hard like fibroma, over the tongue and gums. It is commonly caused by abrasions on different soft tissues through which bacteria enters.

The organism responsible for this act is bacteria 
To prevent this we must inject one to two injections of sodium iodide to make recovery complete  ]]> 2017-08-26 10:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/182928741 bluehawk660 https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/182937356 Botulism
Botulism is a severe illness caused by potent toxins produced by the bacteria,Clostridium .People get infected with botulism  by ingesting food containing the toxin or the bacteria itself.Animals like cattle,sheep,horses and ferret get infected with botulism but animals like dogs and pigs get infected rarely

The organism  responsible is Bacteria
PREVENTION
FOR HUMANS
Proper food preparation methods can greatly reduce the risk of Botulism.Keep hot food hot and cold food cold,promptly refrigerate
food to reduce bacterial growth.Boil canned foods for at least 10 minutes to destroy any toxin that might be present.

FOR ANIMALS
In areas where botulism is common,vaccines are available for animals.Camels and sheep should be fed a balanced diet]]> 2017-08-26 15:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/182937356 Jonathan2921 https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/182938676 DISEASE: POWDERY MILDEW
WHAT IS POWDERY MILDEW?
Powdery mildew is a disease in plants caused by biotrophic fungus.
A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms includes microorganisms such as yeast and molds,as well as more familiar mushrooms.
Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wild range of plants.
Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of fungi in the Order Erysipales with Podoshaera xanthii being most commonly reported cause.
THE ORGANISM RESPONSIBLE:
The organism responsible is biotrophic fungus.

WAYS TO PREVENT POWDERY MILDEW:

• To prevent Powdery mildew we must remove all the infected plant parts and destroy them.
• Remember,do not compost any infected plant,as the disease can still be spread by the wind.
• Spray infected plants with fungicides.Effective fungicides for powdery mildew treatments or cures include sulfur,lime sulfur,neem oil, potassium bicarbonate.

The micro-organism responsible for rabies is the rabies virus.   

If you want to prevent rabies you should    

1.Get your pets vaccinated because the most common way for humans to get rabies is from their pets.  
2.Stray animal population should be frequently checked and kept under control. 
3.Children should be given awareness about stray animals. 
4.If you or your pet gets bitten by an infected animal you should go to a doctor immediately.]]> 2017-08-27 05:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/182962280 https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/182962365 Disease: Anthrax
Microorganism responsible : bacteria
Bacteria responsible : Bacillus Anthracis
Anthrax : This disease is caused by bacillus anthracis .These bacteria make spores, a form of germ covered by a protective shell .The spores can live for years in the soil and they can cause anthrax when the enter the body .When the bacteria is ingested, inhaled or placed in an open wound, the bacteria begins to multiply inside the animal or human it kills the host in a few days
Prevention
Before infection :
1. Ensure sheep or cows graze on good or non-infected grass.
2. Ensure there is no contact between the infected host and the healthy host.

After infection
1. Antibiotics can prevent the disease from developing in people who have been exposed but do not have any developed symptoms. Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline are two types of could be used to prevent anthrax.
2. Anthrax spores typically take l to 6 days to be activated, but some spores remain in the body and take up to 60 days or more before they are activated. This is why people suffering from anthrax must take antibiotics for 60 days

MICROORGANISM RESPONSIBLE- Bacteria
NAME OF MICROORGANISM-Xanthomas axondopodis
INFO ON CITRUS CANKER- Citrus canker is a disease affecting Citrus species caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis.
Infection causes lesions (damage) on the leaves, stems, and fruit of citrus trees, including lime, oranges, and grapefruit.
WAYS TO PREVENT CITRUS CANKER- 
•To avoid introducing citrus canker on to your property, establish new plantings with healthy plant material from reputable nurseries that use Auscitrus seed and budwood, which is routinely tested for a range of diseases.
•On receipt of any new plants, check that they are pest and disease free. If citrus canker is detected, isolate suspect nursery stock from healthy plants until sure that it is free of the disease.
•Keep your farm clean. Use good sanitation and hygiene practices. 
•Workers, visitors, vehicles and equipment can spread diseases. Make sure equipment is clean before it enters your farm.

MICROORGANISM-agrobacterium
Info-the disease maniferts as a tumour like growth usually at the junction of the root and shoot
It transfers its DNA to the host plant through a plasmid
Prevention measures-
1)TO AVOID INFECTED PLANTING MATERIAL 
2)PLANT NON-INFECTED SEEDS
3)AVOID SPREADING OR SPRAYING WITH INFECTED TOOLS

They exist in soil in areas with hot climates or short winters. About 2000 plants worldwide are susceptible to infection by root-knot nematodes and they cause approximately 5% of global crop loss.Root-knot nematode larva infect plant roots, causing the development of root-knot galls that drain the plant's photosynthate and nutrients. Infection of young plants may be lethal, while infection of mature plants causes decreased yield.]]> 2017-08-30 13:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/183661231 Dhananjayan https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/183677956 Type of Microorganism responsible - Virus
Microorganisms responsible - Several, most common virus strains include the Rhinovirus and Coronavirus strains.
Cure -
Despite extensive research conducted into the common cold, there is no cure or vaccine which can cure or can conclusively prevent the disease. One can only prevent its transmission through good hygiene, such as washing hands with anti-bacterial hand sanitizers after any contact with a person or objects that may seem dirty or likely to carry viruses. Some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may mitigate symptoms. Plenty of rest, drinking an ample amount of fluids and avoiding contact with other people will help with the infection. ]]> 2017-08-30 13:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/183677956 saisuhaasv04 https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/184390874 Microorganism responsible: Vibrio Cholerae

MICROORGANISM RESPONSIBLE- BACTERIA
NAME OF MICROORGANISM-STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE
WHAT IS PNEUMONIA?
Pneumonia is a lung infection that can make you very sick. You may cough, run a fever, and have a hard time breathing. For most people, pneumonia can be treated at home. It often clears up in 2 to 3 weeks. But older adults, babies, and people with other diseases can become very ill. They may need to be in the hospital.
WHAT CAUSES PNEUMONIA?  :
Germs called bacteria or viruses usually cause pneumonia. Pneumonia usually starts when you breathe the germs into your lungs. You may be more likely to get the disease after having a cold or the flu. These illnesses make it hard for your lungs to fight infection, so it is easier to get pneumonia.
WAYS TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA:
1.Stop smoking. You're more likely to get pneumonia if you smoke.
2.Avoid people who have infections that sometimes lead to pneumonia.
3.Wash your hands often. This helps prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria that may cause pneumonia.]]> 2017-09-05 14:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/184765611 https://padlet.com/vinayshri_s_oow/8J/wish/185789570 Disease-Yellow vein mosaic virus of okra
Organism responsible-Begomovirus
Control Measures:
•Removing and destroying disease affected plants from crop fields to avoid secondary spread.
•Destroying host weeds such as Croton.
•By doing crop rotation.
•Using seeds collected from disease free plants.
•The vectors which are responsible for the spread of the virus should be controlled by spraying pesticides.
•Spraying neem oil in a litre of water at weekly intervals.
