Good day! Welcome to Group 3's
Microbiology & Parasitology: Oh My Blog!
As our advanced gratitude to our beloved readers, we gave our best to make the most out of our skills, experiences, minds & hearts, and even our ver own souls to help you to learn more about Microbiology & Parasitology.
In microbiology, you will gain much understanding of the basic principles of microbiology, culture preparation, physiology, and genetics of microbial cell cultures. Team-based decisions, collaborations and consideration of multiple perspectives are emphasized, as well as practical experience in laboratory and culture techniques used in bio manufacturing.
As most of the people know, nowadays, the world we are in is pretty much populated with different kinds of microbes. To the knowledge of most people, some of these microbes may really give harm to us, humans, and to the rest of the other living beings. But some do not realize, that these microbes can also be very beneficial -- especially in the field of medicine/science and technology.
Thank you in advance for reading our simple yet fun blog -- where education meets happiness & friendship. Hope you enjoy, little microbe!

DEFINITION OF MICROBIOLOGY
Microbiology is a branch of biology. This is the theory of small living things (microorganisms), which are divided into bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa (protozoa). In general, the microorganisms in microbiology visible only under a microscope. Microorganisms are widespread in nature. Some bacteria inhabit the inner and outer surfaces of the human body, these are non-pathogenic micro-organisms to, for they call thus produced no disease. The bacteria of the small and large intestine are even useful digestive aid since it provides, among other things important for blood clotting vitamin K. Such a union between two organisms is called symbiosis. Also, there are microorganisms that act cause disease and are therefore pathogenic, and include, for example, the causative agent of bacterial infection and viral diseases. Living beings who live at the expense of another organism, called a parasite, to them, include multicellular animal life forms, such as arthropods and worms.
DEFINITION OF PARASITOLOGY
Medical Parasitology is the branch of medical sciences dealing with organisms (parasites) which live temporarily or permanently, on or within the human body (host). Parasitology is a dynamic field because the relationships between parasites and their hosts are constantly changing. Parasitism comprises an ecological relationship between two individuals of different species where the parasite’s environment is another living organism. Parasites often cause important diseases of humans and animals (Bogitsh et al., 2005). For this reason, Parasitology is an active field of study in which advances in biotechnology have raised expectations for the development of new drugs, vaccines, and other control measures. However, these expectations are dampened by the inherent complexity of parasites and host-parasite relationships, the entrenchment of parasites and vectors in their environments, and the vast socioeconomic problems in the geographical areas where parasites are most prevalent (McGraw-Hill, 2005). But what is the parasite?
The parasite is a living organism that lives in (endoparasite) or on (ectoparasite) another organism, termed its host. It obtains nourishment and protection while offering no benefit in return. Consequently, the host suffers from various diseases, infections, and discomforts. However, in some cases, the host may show no signs at all of infection by the parasite (UXL Encyclopedia of Science, 2002).
