Mushrooms
This document provides information about mushrooms. It states that mushrooms are fungi and are more closely related to animals than plants. While mushrooms were once thought to be plants, they contain no chlorophyll and obtain nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter. There are approximately 1.5 million fungal species worldwide, with over 2,000 used for food or medicine. Mushroom sizes can vary greatly, from 1 mm to over 1 m, with the largest known fungus being over 100 tons. Mushrooms grow upright to allow spores to escape more easily due to the sticky sides of their gills.

Ascaris lumbricoides, also known as the common roundworm, is the most prevalent intestinal parasite infecting one fourth to one third of the world's population. It lives in the small intestine and, while most infections are asymptomatic, some people present with pulmonary or gastrointestinal issues. Infection occurs through ingestion of Ascaris eggs from contaminated soil or food, especially in areas with poor sanitation. Treatment involves administering anthelminthic medications such as mebendazole or albendazole.
Agar plate results
The majority of blobs on the agar plates are gram positive bacteria, including some larger cloudy blobs that are likely yeast. A few plates also contain larger blobs with filaments, possibly the fungi-like bacteria Nordica found in soil, skin, and saliva. While bacteria and fungi naturally live on and in the body, the immune system usually keeps them under control.
The Pesty Mosquito
Mosquitoes have been around for over 30 million years and come in more than 3,500 species. They are small flies in the Culicidae family that feed on nectar and plant juices, but female mosquitoes require blood meals from humans and animals to develop their eggs. Mosquito-borne diseases infect millions of people annually. The adult female mosquito lays eggs in standing water, which hatch into larvae and develop through pupa and adult stages. Mosquitoes are attracted to humans by the carbon dioxide, lactic acid, heat and contrasting colors we emit and can transmit viruses and parasites that cause deadly illnesses like malaria and dengue fever.
Colony collapse disorder
Colony collapse disorder (CCD) describes the phenomenon where the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear, leaving the queen alone with a few nurse bees. CCD was first discovered in 1869 and given different names over time. A collapsed colony from CCD is characterized by the presence of capped brood, food, and the queen bee, but absence of most worker bees. Reports of disappearing honey-producing hives have decreased their numbers in the United States significantly since the 1940s. The exact causes of CCD are unknown but may include pesticides, mites, fungi, beekeeping practices, and commercial bee transport, acting together rather than individually.
The Five Kingdoms
The document summarizes the five kingdoms of life: plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and protists. It provides examples of types of organisms within each kingdom.

A TREAT FOR MOSQUITOES ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-V
Mosquitoes are small, midge-like flies. Females of most species are ectoparasites, whose tube-like mouth parts pierce the hosts' skin to consume blood. The word "mosquito" is Spanish for "little fly".
Mosquitoes have six legs. They also have a head, thorax and abdomen. Mosquitoes can't fly very far or very fast. The Anophelesis a malaria carrier, and the other two are known to spread various forms of encephalitis. Only female mosquitoes bite and suck the blood.
VIRUS
Viruses can infect all forms of life and are found anywhere there are cells, including in soil, water, and air. Viruses lie dormant until entering a host cell, usually through the nose, mouth or breaks in the skin. Once inside a host cell, the virus attaches and releases its genetic material, hijacking the cell's enzymes to produce new virus particles which then break free and infect other cells. Viruses are considered by some scientists to be both living and non-living, as they are inactive particles outside of a host cell but become active reproducers inside a living cell.

Aedes albopictus
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a small black and white striped mosquito that is an invasive species found worldwide. It is active year-round in warm humid climates and can survive in a variety of habitats. The mosquito is a vector for diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya fever, and yellow fever and was spread globally through international tire transport.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes have existed for over 150 million years and there are over 3,500 species worldwide. The most common types that affect humans are Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex. Mosquitoes breed in any standing water and go through a life cycle of egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Female mosquitoes use visual, chemical, and heat cues to find a blood host to feed on to develop eggs, typically preferring dark colors, movement, breath and body odors, and higher temperatures.

Can insects spread COVID-19????
Insects are beautiful creature in nature and found in every environment on Earth. Many insects are considered to be pests by humans. However, some insects are crucial components of many ecosystems, performing many important functions such as pollination, decomposition and some insects produce useful substances, such as honey, wax, lac, silk, some insects act as food and medicine but some insects like mosquitoes, especially female ones act as vector for many bacterial and viral diseases because female mosquitoes needs nutrition contained in blood to help develop their eggs. Viruses take advantage of this biological requirement of mosquitoes to move from host to host. The mosquitoes spread pathogens by sucking our blood cause over half a million deaths each year and hundreds of millions of cases of severe illness. But there is no scientific evidence to suggest mosquitoes are transmitting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Beneficial Insects
Beneficial insects (bugs) are insects that perform valued services like pollination and pest control. The concept of beneficial is subjective and only arises in light of desired outcomes from a human perspective. In farming and agriculture, where the goal is to raise selected crops, insects that hinder the production process are classified as pests, while insects that assist production are considered beneficial. In horticulture and gardening; pest control, habitat integration, and 'natural vitality' aesthetics are the desired outcome with beneficial insects.
Top 10 Wasp Facts for Summer 2014
As we move toward the UK summer the queen wasps are coming out of hibernation and begin to lay their eggs. While the return of the wasp population is good news for farmers, they are a real problem for residents and businesses in our urban and city areas. And it's not just fear of an irritating sting that puts people off; for an unlucky few, a wasp sting can create a fatal reaction as they experience an anaphylactic shock if stung.
Here we show you the top 10 wasp facts for this summer.
Pinworm
1. Pinworms are a common intestinal parasite that inhabit the cecum and colon. The male dies after mating. The female migrates to the anus at night and deposits eggs on the perianal skin, causing itching.
2. Pinworm eggs are oval shaped and contain larvae. When ingested, larvae mature into adult worms in 2-4 weeks. About 1/3 of infections are asymptomatic but most commonly cause irritation and itching.
3. Diagnosis involves cellophane tape tests to detect eggs on the skin or examining stool samples. Proper hygiene including handwashing and surface cleaning can help control spread.
Pollinator 2
Pollinator decline refers to the reduction of pollinator populations in an ecosystem. This is problematic because pollinators such as bees play a crucial role in pollinating many crops that humans and animals rely on for food and medicine. Pesticide use has contributed significantly to pollinator decline by weakening bee immune systems and making them more vulnerable to parasites and pathogens, potentially leading to colony collapse disorder. The loss of pollinators could jeopardize crop yields and affect global food supplies and medicines. Individuals can help address pollinator decline by planting pollinator-friendly gardens and limiting pesticide usage.

Some insect are predators, either as larvae or in both larval and adult stages. The decomposition of organic waste, such as dung and manures are an important ecosystem process which is largely provided by insects. Insect as food for animals and human being. The knowledge regarding immature stages of insect-pests and understand site of oviposition, site of pupation and larval behaviour can allow for timely and effective management, thus we can reduction in the qualitative and quantitative losses of yield and increase the profit.
Biological control of phytophagous mite
Phytophagous mites are plant-feeding pests that damage crops. Predatory mites in the family Phytoseiidae provide effective biological control by voraciously feeding on phytophagous mites like the two-spotted spider mite. Releasing predatory mites like Phytoseiulus persimilis at early signs of an infestation can suppress pest mite populations without the need for pesticides. Proper timing and methods are required to establish predatory mites and allow them to control phytophagous mites in an economical and sustainable manner without the pest mites developing resistance.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an environmentally sensitive approach to pest control that uses common sense practices. It involves monitoring pests and setting thresholds to determine when control is needed. IPM uses cultural, mechanical, physical and chemical methods, preferring natural ones. Pesticides are a last resort under IPM. The approach aims to manage pests in the most economical and environmentally friendly way.
Medical entomology lecture ppt
(1) Medical entomology is the study of arthropods of medical importance and is an important branch of preventive medicine.
(2) Arthropods of medical importance include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans such as mosquitoes, ticks, mites, lice, fleas, and cyclops that can transmit diseases mechanically or biologically.
(3) Diseases can be transmitted through direct contact with the arthropod, mechanical transmission of pathogens without replication in the vector, or biological transmission where the pathogen replicates or undergoes development in the vector before transmission.

Fungi play an important role in nature by breaking down organic matter. They can live as saprophytes, symbionts, commensals, or parasites. Fungal infections are increasingly common due to rising immunocompromised populations. Fungi are classified into five main classes including Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Archiascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetes. They have cell walls containing chitin and glucan. Fungi can exist as yeasts or molds and reproduce sexually through spores or asexually. Common opportunistic fungal pathogens include species of Absidia, Rhizopus, Mucor,

- 7. Basic Facts What is a Mushroom? How many kinds are there? How big are they? Aren’t mushrooms dangerous? Mushrooms are the above-ground fruiting bodies of FUNGI, which contain the organisms’ reproductive spores There are approximately 1.5 million species of Fungi in the world; Of those, 2,327 are used for edible or medicinal purposes Mushrooms themselves can vary from anywhere between 1 mm and 1 m! The largest known fungal organism is an Armillaria gallica in Crystal Falls, Michigan. Called the “humongous fungus,” it is 1500 years old and weighs over 9,700 kg ( > 100 tons, and almost the mass of an adult blue whale) More than 200 species are poisonous, and some have hallucenagenic properties
- 10. FUNgi Facts Some mushroom spores can sit dormant for 10 years and still grow! Mushrooms are more similar to animals than plants! Some of the largest mushroom colonies are so large that they can be seen from airplanes or even satellites! Mushroom spores are made of chitin, one of the hardest natural substances on Earth!
