TYPES BACTERIA - FUNGUS - VIRUS – PROTOZOAN- PARASITE

BACTERIA BACTERIA IS A ONE-CELLED ORGANISM THAT IS FOUND EVERYWHERE. BACTERIA LOVES TO LIVE IN WARM, DARK, AND MOIST PLACES. WHERE ON YOUR BODY DO YOU THINK BACTERIA WOULD LIKE TO LIVE?

BACTERIA SOME COMMON DISEASES THAT ARE CAUSED BY BACTERIA ARE STREP THROAT TUBERCULOSIS SINUS INFECTIONS URINARY TRACK INFECTIONS LUCKILY WE CAN KILL BACTERIA WITH ANTIBIOTICS. AN ANTIBIOTIC IS A DRUG THAT KILLS OR SLOWS DOWN THE GROWTH OF BACTERIA.

VIRUS VIRUS IS THE SMALLEST DISEASES CAUSING ORGANISM. VIRUSES CAUSE DISEASES LIKE COMMON COLD INFLUENZA HEPATITIS CHICKEN POX MEASLES MUMPS EBOLA

VIRUS UNLIKE BACTERIA, VIRUSES CANNOT REPRODUCE BY THEMSELVES. VIRUSES CAN ONLY ATTACH THEMSELVES TO OTHER CELLS AND TAKES THEM OVER. ONCE THEY TAKE OVER THE CELLS THEY ARE THEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE AND CREATE MORE VIRUS CELLS.

VIRUS WE CAN NOT KILL VIRUSES LIKE WE CAN KILL BACTERIA WITH ANTIBIOTICS. ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE VACCINATIONS TO HELP PREVENT A VIRUS. A VACCINE IS A SUBSTANCE THAT IS USED TO MAKE A PERSON IMMUNE TO A CERTAIN DISEASE.

VIRUS WHEN SOMEONE GETS A VACCINE THEY ARE GIVEN A DEAD OR WEAKENED VIRUS GERM. ONCE THAT VIRUS IS IN THE BODY, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM STARTS TO FIGHT THE VIRUS BY CREATING ANTIBODIES.

EBOLA EBOLA IS SPREAD THROUGH DIRECT CONTACT WITH BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS OF A PERSON ALREADY SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF EBOLA. EBOLA IS NOT SPREAD THROUGH THE AIR, WATER, FOOD, OR MOSQUITOES. THE VIRUS IS TRANSMITTED TO PEOPLE FROM WILD ANIMALS AND SPREADS IN THE HUMAN POPULATION THROUGH HUMAN-TO-HUMAN TRANSMISSION.

EBOLA

FUNGUS A FUNGUS RELIES ON OTHER LIVING OR DEAD ORGANISMS TO SURVIVE. NEED TO KEEP AREA CLEAN AND DRY. POSSIBLY NEED FUNGAL CREAM. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF FUNGUS YEAST MOLDS MILDEW ATHLETES FOOT RING WORM

PROTOZOA A PROTOZOAN IS A SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISM, MUCH MORE COMPLEX THAN A BACTERIUM. PROTOZOA INFECTIONS USUALLY COME FROM INFECTED WATER OR FOOD. NEED SPECIAL MEDICATION EXAMPLE OF A PROTOZOAN -WHY SHOULD YOU NEVER EVER DRINK UNFILTERED LAKE OR RIVER WATER? GIARDIA IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PROTOZOA INFECTION. MOST PEOPLE GET GIARDIA FROM DRINKING. CONTAMINATED WATER. GIARDIA CAUSES SEVER DIARRHEA.

PARASITE A PARASITE IS AN ORGANISM THAT LIVES IN A HOST ORGANISM. A PARASITE DRAWS NOURISHMENT FROM A HOST EVEN TO THE POINT OF KILLING THE HOST. SOME PARASITES CAN BE VERY LARGE. NEED SPECIAL MEDICATION. EXAMPLE OF A PARASITE TAPEWORMS LIVE IN THE INTESTINES OF ANIMALS AND HUMANS. TAPEWORMS CONSUME THE NUTRIENTS THAT IS SUPPOSE TO GO TO THE HOST. OVERTIME THE HOST BECOMES MALNOURISHED BECAUSE THE TAPEWORM CONSUMES ALL NUTRIENTS.

ROUTES OF TRANSMISSION Direct  Skin-skin  Herpes type 1  Mucous-mucous  STI  Across placenta  toxoplasmosis  Through breast milk  HIV  Sneeze-cough  Influenza Indirect  Food-borne  Salmonella  Water-borne  Hepatitis A  Air-borne  Chickenpox Vector  A carrier of an infectious agent  Ex. Malaria Parasite carried by Mosquito Body fluids include saliva, mucus, vomit, feces, sweat, tears, breast milk, urine, and semen.

1 ST LINE OF DEFENSE Skin Mucous membranes Tears Saliva Sweat Stomach acid

BOOSTING 1 ST LINE OF DEFENSE Vitamin E Washing hands Not sharing drinks or chap stick Hand sanitizer

2 ND LINE OF DEFENSE Phagocytic cells Fever Inflammation Group of tissues and organs to join up to fight (immune system)

BOOSTING 2 ND LINE OF DEFENSE Letting a fever go through its course Vitamin C B Complex vitamins

3 RD LINE OF DEFENSE Specific immune response White Blood Cells Lymphocytes- T and B

3 RD LINE OF DEFENSE IMAGINE THAT A VIRUS HAS ENTERED YOUR BODY. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT YOUR BODY WOULD DO TO TRY AND STOP THE VIRUS. 1. CELLS CALLED MACROPHAGES ENGULF THE CELLS THAT HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY THE VIRUS. 2. THE MACROPHAGES SIGNAL CELLS CALLED T CELLS AND B CELLS.

3 RD LINE OF DEFENSE 3. THE T CELLS HELP IDENTIFY THE GERM. A 4. THE B CELLS NAME THE GERM. B 5. THE B CELLS ALSO PRODUCE ANTIBODIES, WHICH ARE SUBSTANCES THAT DESTROY GERMS. C 6. THESE ANTIBODIES CAN ONLY KILL THE SPECIFIC GERM THEY WERE CREATED TO KILL. D
