A. “Humans are hosts to nearly 300 species of parasitic worms and over 70 species
of protozoa, some derived from our primate ancestors and some acquired from the
animals we have domesticated or come in contact with during our relatively short
history on Earth”(Cox,2002).
B. I first learned about tapeworms while taking by microbiology class and I felt so shocked how easily you can be infected with this parasite.
C. So today, I am here to inform you about tapeworms so you can eliminate the
risk of obtaining tapeworms yourself.
D. I’m going to explain the anatomy and physiology of tapeworms, their
life-cycle, how they are transmitted,the symptoms, and how to treat this infection
of tapeworms.

A.The classification and form of host
1.Tapeworms, name for the parasitic flatworms are classified in the phylum Platyhelminthes, class Cestoda(Tapeworm,2013,1).
2.“The curious life cycle of these gutless parasites generally involves two
hosts--an intermediate host (typically a herbivore) and a definitive or
final-stage host (typically a carnivore)”(Hickey, 2002,1).
B. Tapeworm explanation
1.Tapeworms are segments, ribbon-like flatworms that lack a digestive tract
of their own
2. They rely completely on the digestion of the host they inhibit.
3. All tapeworms are monoecious-both ovaries and testes are in one animal.
a. They don’t need another parasite to be able to reproduce.
C. Tapeworm
1.Stated by Hickey in 2002, there is an estimated 1,500 species of tapeworms, 35 of this species affect humans specifically.
2. The two types of tapeworms that I am going to focus on, is Taenia saginata and Taenia solium. Aka: T. saginata and T. solium.
3. Taenia saginata has the common na...

2. The symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor and cause human epilepsy.
3. This infections is most prevalent in certain parts of Central America
Treatments
A. medicine
1.”When infection is known to exist, the tapeworms can be killed with
drugs that do not harm the host”(animal plant).
Conclusion
Summary
A.Tapeworms are a powerful parasite that anyone can become infected by them.
B.Through knowing the anatomy and physiology , their, life-cycle, how they are
transmitted, the symptoms, and the treatments one will be better prepared to have less chance of obtaining this parasite.
C.But the most important thing that one must do is to always cook your food well
done, wash all foods, and have a good personal hygiene by doing this you can
diminish even the slightest chances of becoming infected.
Planarians are free-living, carnivorous flatworms found in the Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class Turbellaria. Although the Phylum Platyhelminthes is known for having the animals with the most parasitic species, the class Turbellaria which consist of the Planaria, are a non-parasitic species. Platyhelminthes which translates to "flat worm" are triploblastic animals. This means that they have three tissue layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Planaria also are monoecious organisms, meaning that they have both female and male sex organs in one organism. Another characteristic of the Planaria is that they do not have a true body cavity, meaning that they are acoelomate organisms.
d. He would say that she is obsessed with oral sensations, like talking, because she developed normally through the oral stage of life.
Infestation of up to 20 meningeal worms has been discovered in a single deer’s subdural cavity. The white tail deer is the preferred host, but they rarely ever suffer from any sickly or neurological problems from this type of worm. We will see severe signs in llamas and alpacas; these are the two animals that can become infected with it frequently. The meningeal worm can cause damage to the central nervous system and could result in death so it is important to try and catch it early and learn about how to prevent this deadly worm. Things that you should be familiar with about the meningeal worm are its life cycle, the signs in your animal, and any prevention or treatment options.
the definition of parasite, is something that hurts. for ever. this parasite, was a landmine. I had good medical attention. But once i returned home, I finally left. I wanted to leave. there were rockets, raining down in every place i looked. those rockets stole my family. we couldn't stay. so we fled. the last time i had a true education, was when i entered high school. between 2nd grade and 9th the education i had in my birth place, that wasn't any kind of education. i wanted more. and there was nothing there for me to want
Treponema pallidum is transmitted sexually through oral, anal, vaginal intercourse and from mom to baby during pregnancy or during birth (1). The human host is the only natural known for Treponema pallidum but testing can be done on rabbits for p...
Merriam-Webster defines ‘parasite’ as ‘an organism that lives in or on another organism and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host 's expense’.
C. Finally, I will explain why rules need to be enforced in regard to helmet safety.
C. The quote above supporting the idea of the people without access to an education and illiterate, it is ease to
2. The female mosquito bites an infected animal, then carries their offspring, which are called Microfilariae, to your dog. Administration, Animal and Veterinary 3. Once your dog is infected with the parasitic worm, the mosquito bites the next dog and the cycle continues. Administration, Animal and Veterinary 4.
Researchers from the Animal Parasitic Laboratory and Agriculture Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture concluded that the linage of Trichinella spiralis originated from Europe over several thousand years ago (Rosenthal, LaRosa, Zarlenga, Dumans, Chunyu, Mingyuan & Pozio, 2008). This is the approximate time when pigs were first domesticated in that region. This implies that the species Trichinella spiralis was introduced to the Americas from pigs. However, there is evidence that the early people of this world, hominid hunters, have consumed foodborne parasites by hunting wild game from millions of years before. Today, swine is governed on the ensuing transmission, and evolutionary diversification.
A. I asked my friend his opinion and he replied, “It’s their own fault. They do it to themselves by being lazy or with their drug habits.”
The mode of transmission is primarily person-to-person contact. Newly emerged impregnated females will crawl onto the uninfected person. The mite will hold onto the skin using suckers attached to the two most anterior pairs of legs. They will then burrow into the skin. Transmission may also occur via fomites (e.g., bedd...
c. And lastly, I've been talking about my parents' experiences with smoking, and they are one of the main reasons for choosing this topic for my speech. However, I am glad to say that 3 years ago on New Year's they made the decision to quit. It was a very hard decision for them to make but it was for the best. Thank you!
B. i ask that you should think about these precautions and take them into thought
B. There are many problems associated with academic pressure on the college level. Consistently poor academic performance
