Epidermophyton floccosum is a type of filamentous fungus which causes nail and skin infection in human beings. The anthropophilic dermatophyte may cause diseases like tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) and tinea cruris, tinea corporis and even onychomycosis. The diagnostic methods for fungal infection are physical examination, testing for culture, and molecular examination. Treatment for fungal infections

What is Sporozoa? Short Definition of Sporozoa Sporozoa are unicellular, parasitic organisms that undergo complex life cycles involving two hosts and alternating between sexual and asexual stages. Classification of Sporozoa Characteristics of Sporozoa Motility of Sporozoa Feeding of Sporozoa Types of Spores Sporozoans, a group of parasitic protozoa, can be classified into four categories based
What is Zooplankton? What exactly are Zooplanktons? Zooplankton, a subset of the broader planktonic community, are heterotrophic organisms that inhabit both freshwater and marine environments. The term “plankton” encompasses a diverse array of organisms that float or drift within aquatic realms. Among these, zooplankton are distinguished by their heterotrophic nature, signifying their reliance on external
Protozoa carried out their reproduction by asexual and sexual mode of reproduction. The higher group of protozoa follow mainly sexual reproduction. Some protozoa carried out both asexual and sexual reproduction based on the types of the host cells.
Fascioliasis is an infectious disease caused by Fasciola parasites, which are flatworms referred to as liver flukes. The adult (mature) flukes are found in the bile ducts and liver of infected people and animals, such as sheep and cattle. In general, fascioliasis is more common in livestock and other animals than in people.
Schistosomiasis also termed snail fever or bilharzia is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes. Infection with Schistosoma mansoni, S. haematobium, and S. japonicum causes illness in humans; less commonly, S. mekongi and S. intercalatum can cause disease.
