The adult worms live in the human lymphatic system (lymphatic system maintains bodies fluid balance and fights infections) and can be transmitted from person to person by mosquitoes. People with the disease suffer from  lymphedema (severe swelling of the arms or legs caused by damage of lymph nodes) and elephantiasis (enlargement and hardening of limbs or body parts due to obstruction of lymphatic vessels). It is the leading  cause of permanent physical disabilities worldwide. ]]> 2020-10-27 16:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866500210 Archaebacteria linus_dweezil https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866502174 Archebacteria were taken out of the kingdom bacteria, due to their significant differences. 'Archae' means ancient. They have been on earth for a very long time and are found mostly in extreme environments but have lately also been found in normal environments. They play major roles in carbon and nitrogen circles on earth. Archaeabacteria was divided into three major groups based on their metabolism types; they are : 
  • Phototrophs; Energy source from sunlight, carbon source from organic compounds
  • Lithotrophs; Energy source from inorganic compounds, carbon source from organic compounds or carbon fixation
  • Organotrophs; Energy source from organic compounds, carbon source from organic compounds or carbon fixation.

Typically its spread through mosquito bites and is most common during mosquito season (summer to fall). About 1 in 5 people infected develop a fever and 1 in 150 infected develop a serious, and sometimes fatal illness. ]]> 2020-10-27 16:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866509362 Asiatic Cholera Mariamfischer https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866519368 Asiatic Cholera is a disease caused by the Vibrio Cholerae bacteria, and can be contracted through consuming unclean water sources, as well as eating food coming from a contaminated aquatic environment. When infected, the host will experience severe abdominal pain, as well as severe diarrhea, often described as like "rice water". In more extreme cases, shock and seizures can occur, as well as total body dehydration. The bacteria resides in the intestine, and reproduces to further the infection. ]]> 2020-10-27 16:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866519368 mcramblit1003 https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866523909 2020-10-27 16:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866523909 Tapeworms JasperHarrison https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866526388 Tapeworms are parasites that are mostly found in the small intestine of animals and some humans. They get their name from the fact that they can grow up to 10 meters long (32 ft.). Most people have no symptoms from tapeworms but a select few that may experience weight loss, pain in the abdomen, and fatigue or loss of appetite. ]]> 2020-10-27 16:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866526388 Blood flukes makewithmiles https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866526875 Blood flukes also known as schistosomes is a type of flatworm that is able to live inside someone for many decades. After they hatch in water that is contaminated by feces, they are able to latch onto snails which are able to burrow their way through skin and into your body. Some of the symptoms include: fever, arthralgias (abdominal pain) bloody diarrhea, and hematuria. It eventually causes heptosplenomegaly which means your liver and spleen swell to a large size.]]> 2020-10-27 16:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/866526875 Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria? samwasko https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/870106840 2020-10-28 15:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/samwasko/oqc2uw9gdrgaobr1/wish/870106840
