unit 1

• study of microorganisms

  microbiology
• refers to the minute living body not perceptible to the naked eyes.

  microorganisms
• study of the interaction between parasites and thier hosts

  parasitology
• carrier of the disease

  vector control
• a living cell invaded by or capable of being invaded by an infectious agent

  host cell
• a bacterium or virus

  host cell
• certain organims are pathognic for human as aell as animals may be communicated to human via direct, indirect or intermediatery animals host or like animals to human, human to animals

  animal sources
• phatogenic microorganism transported by air (mouth-nose-air) or by droplets

  airborne
• direct transmission of bacteria from one host to another like STD

  contact infections
• objects can transport microorganims from one location to another

  fomites
• persons who have recoved from an infectious disease do remain of organims causing the infection and may transfer the organims to another host

  human carries
• bacteriostatic means

  inhibit or stop
• bactericidal means?

  kill the bacteria
• may be physical carriers and housefly or act as a intermediate host

  insects
• what is the vector control of ampheles mosquito?

  dengue
• what is the vector control of plasmodium spp?

  malaria
• spore-forming organisms in the soil may enter the body via a cut or wound.

  soil borne
• specific branch of biolgy that essentially deals with the elaborated investigation of microscopic organisms

  microbiology
• study of living organims of microscopid size that incldue bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and the infectious agents.

  microbiology
• study of organisms bacteria

  bacteriology
• study of fungi

  mycology
• study of algae

  phycology
• study of protozoans

  protozoology
• study of viruses

  virology
• identify the fields of microbiology - helps in the overall preservation and preparation of food, food-prone diseases, and their ultimate prevention

  Aero-Microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - making of beer, shandy, wine, and a variety of alcoholic beverages

  beverage microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - to help in the exploration of life in the outer space.

  exo microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - making of cheese, yogurt

  food microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - to help in the study of coal, mineral deposits, and gas formation prospecting the deposits of gas and oil, coal, recovery of minerals from low-grade ores.

  geochemical microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - making of ethanol, acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, glucose syrup, high-fructose syrup

  Industrial Microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - helps in the diagnostic protocol for identification of causative agents of various human ailments, and subsequent preventive measures.

  Medical Microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - making of life-saving drugs, ‘antibiotics’

  pharmaceutical microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - helps in the maintenance of a good farm land by keeping and sustaining a reasonable and regular presence of microbes in it.

  Soil and Agricultural Microbiology
• identify the fields of microbiology - treatment of domestic and industrial effluents or wastes by lowering the BOD (Biological oxidation demand) and COD (Chemical oxidation demand)

  Waste-Treatment Microbiology
• what yakult bacteria has?

  Lacticaseibacillus casei shirota
• typhus fever is caused by?

  Rickettsia prowazekii
• malaria is caused by?

  Plasmodium falciparum
• who is the father of microbiology?

  Anton van Leeuwenhoek
• true or false: Anton Van Leeuwenhoek is the first to initiate the herculean task of microscope making through his inherent hobby of lens making.

  true
• He also discovered microorganism, took small to be seen by the naked eye.
