PARASITIC BACTERIA [7 records]

Record 1 2023-06-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
CONT

Climate change, notably through temperature extremes and precipitation patterns, is affecting the geographic distribution, seasonality, and incidence of vectors and the diseases they transmit, known as vector-borne diseases. Vectors like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, can carry infective pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and parasitic worms. The most common way vectors can transfer pathogens to other animal hosts, including humans, is by biting or bloodsucking.

Record 2 2023-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
CONT

Foods with a parasitic bacterium, Bdellovibrio Bacteriovorus. The addition of B. bacteriovorus, an obligate parasite of gram-negative bacteria, to meats and meat products reduces the gram-negative population, lengthens the shelf-life, and reduces the risks of food-borne illness. The organism is intended to be applied to the surface of the food, onto food contact surfaces by spraying or dipping, or as part of a sanitizing rinse. It may also be used on uncooked seafoods and whole eggs. High parasitic activity occurs under aerobic conditions, near neutral pH, and at temperatures [greater or equal] to 20°C. Many pathogens are susceptible to attack by the parasitic organism.

OBS

parasitic bacteria : plural of "parasitic bacterium. "

Les nématodes parasites comprennent des phytoparasites, qui provoquent souvent des galles foliaires, et des zooparasites, qui peuvent atteindre une grande taille. Beaucoup parasitent des insectes, soit à l'état larvaire, soit à l'état adulte. Parfois la femelle seule est parasite, et dans de nombreux cas, le nématode passe d'un hôte animal à un hôte végétal au cours de son cycle vital.
