To determine:
To define why schistosomiasis is called as “snail fever”, good sewage treatment helps to prevent schistosomiasis, and why its initial symptom is itching skin.

The year of the snake was a bad year for Person J; that year, there was too much rain, stress, and the rural village people were fully filled with illness. Person J’s whole family are fishermen and farmers having fever, chills, muscles aches, and were coughing for months. His brother had severe rashes. His children, nephews, and nieces were anemic and found it very difficult to learn their school lessons. Nearly 900,000 people were infected in China and 30 million people were at risk. The government takes control measures to eradicate schistosomiasis. Person J’s family and his neighbors take the drug praziquantel for one to two days to kill the worm in their bodies.

- Species Interactions Explain how predators, prey and scavengers interact. Explain whether predators and scavengers are necessary or beneficial for an ecosystem.arrow_forwardmagine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
