Taenia solium; morphology, life cycle, pathogenesis, clinical infection, lab diagnosis, treatment, prevention and epidemiology

Biology /

Taenia solium is a parasitic flatworm commonly known as the pork tapeworm. It infects humans and pigs, and its life cycle involves both hosts. This worm can cause two distinct types of infections: taeniasis (intestinal tapeworm infection) and cysticercosis (tissue infection with larvae). In this summary, we’ll explore the worm’s morphology, life cycle, pathogenesis, clinical […]

Wastewater; Industrial effluent and domestic sewage

Biology /

Water is essential for life, but human activities generate significant amounts of wastewater that need proper treatment and disposal. Wastewater is the water that has been used and contaminated by industrial processes, domestic activities, or agriculture. Two major sources of wastewater are industrial effluent and domestic sewage. Understanding the nature, impact, and treatment of these

Physical, chemical and Biological characteristics of sewage

Biology /

Sewage, also called wastewater, is the used water that comes from homes, businesses, and industries. It contains a wide variety of substances, including human waste, food scraps, oils, soaps, chemicals, and anything else that goes down drains. To manage and treat wastewater properly, it’s important to understand its characteristics. These characteristics are typically divided into

Interferons (IFNs): types, mode of action and effects

Biology /

What is Interferons ? Interferons (IFNs) are proteins produced by the body’s cells in response to viral infections, tumors, and other threats to the immune system. They serve as critical players in the body’s defense mechanisms, helping the immune system fight off infections and diseases. The name “interferon” comes from their ability to “interfere” with

Classification of protein; on the basis of structure, composition and function

Biology /

Protein Proteins are fundamental to life, acting as the building blocks of cells and performing a wide range of functions. Every process in the body, from digestion to muscle movement, involves proteins. To understand their diversity and importance, scientists classify proteins based on their structure, composition, and function. Let’s explore each classification of Protein in

Autoimmune Disease: Mechanism of autoimmunity, Types and examples

Biology /

Autoimmune Disease Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system, which is supposed to protect us from harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses, mistakenly attacks healthy cells in our body. Think of the immune system as a defense force whose main job is to recognize and destroy foreign invaders. But in autoimmune diseases, this defense
