Abstract Global warming is defined as a serious phenomenon recently and also it will impact the human health. The impact of the global warming on infectious diseases has been highlighted in this paper. The infectious diseases have been emphasized in two major classifications which are the water and the foodborne infectious diseases as well as the vector borne infectious diseases. Even if the global warming is not easy to solve‚ there are some methods should be taken to mitigate this phenomenon.

animal‚ you usually think of something like a cat‚ a dog‚ a mouse‚ or a tiger. All told‚ around 800‚000 species have been identified in the Animal Kingdom -- most of them in the Arthropod phylum. In fact‚ some scientists believe that if we were to identify all species in the tropical rain forests the ranks of Arthropod would swell to over 10 million species! Most people do not normally think of a clam‚ a jellyfish‚ or an earthworm as an animal. Yet all of them belong to the kingdom of animals.

Explain the colonial flagellate hypothesis about the origin of animals. They are decended from an ancestor that resembles a hollow spherical colony of flagellated cells. Individual cells became specialized for reproduction. Two tissue layers arose by invagination. 3. Describe the different types of symmetry. Asymmetrical-

Animal Phyla Lab Adapted from “Phylum Lab” produced by the National Aquarium in Baltimore The diversity of animal life on Earth is astounding. Each animal has a unique body plan which allows it to survive and adapt to its given surroundings. With such an abundance of species‚ classifying animals into different categories is necessary. At first the diversity of animals can be overwhelming‚ but after further research and observation‚ many likenesses appear. These similarities become the basis for

phylum. Chordates‚ the phylum which humans belong to‚ are characterized by their rod of stiffening tissue to support the body which has a nerve cord running alongside the rod – ending up by the brain. They would be closely related to Annelids and Arthropods but they have a dorsal nerve cord.

initially with single-celled prokaryotic cells‚ such as bacteria. Multicellular life evolved over a billion years later and it’s only in the last 570 million years that the kind of life forms we are familiar with began to evolve‚ starting with arthropods‚ followed by fish 530 million years ago (Ma)‚ land plants 475Ma and forests 385Ma. Mammals didn’t evolve until 200Ma and our own species‚ Homo sapiens‚ only 200‚000 years ago. So humans have been around for a mere 0.004% of the Earth’s history.

very large group of arthropods‚ usually treated as a subphylum‚ which includes such familiar animals as crabs‚ lobsters‚ crayfish‚ shrimp‚ krill and barnacles. The 67‚000 described species range in size from Stygotantulus stocki at 0.1 mm (0.004 in)‚ to the Japanese spider crab with a leg span of up to 12.5 ft (3.8 m) and a mass of 44 lb (20 kg). Like other arthropods‚ crustaceans have an exoskeleton‚ which they moult to grow. They are distinguished from other groups of arthropods‚ such as insects‚

DECOMPOSITION & NUTRIENT CYCLING: Insects and their arthropod relatives are responsible for much of the nutrient cycling‚ conditioning and aeration of the soil; e.g. dung beetles‚ flies‚ carrion beetles‚ millipedes‚ cockroaches‚ & termites. 3. FOOD FOR WILDLIFE AND IN MEDICINE: Many different kinds of animals eat insects making them essential parts of the food chain; e.g.: amphibians‚ reptiles‚ birds‚ fish‚ arthropods and other invertebrates‚ mammals (primates including humans).

Chikungunya is a viral disease spread by the bite of infected Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. It causes fever‚ severe joint pain and rash on the body. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus i.e. it is an arthropod borne virus and is a member of the genus Alphavirus‚ in the family Togaviridae. The first outbreak of the disease was seen in the year 1952‚ in the Makonde plateau‚ along the border between Tanzania and Mozambique. The disease occurs predominantly in Africa‚ Asia and the Indian
