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.
Case summary:
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.

- 10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.
