population quivers at the thought of ingesting manure‚ the mighty dung beetle rises to the challenge‚ and uses the manure in unique ways. Without dung beetles‚ pastures would be overrun with manure and flies- and parasites would run amuck. I’m no expert but according to the Sustainable Parasite Management division at the University of Pretoria in South Africa‚ affectionately known as PU‚ the dung beetle is beneficial to our environment. They help keep the soil cleaner‚ reduce pollution and algae formation

Bacteria – is a single cell micro-organism that gets its nutrition from its surroundings and can only be seen under a microscope Viruses - are disease producing agents far smaller than bacteria. They are enclosed in a protein coating which makes them more difficult to destroy. Parasites – an organism that feeds and is dependant of its host. Fungi - are multi-cellular organisms. 2.

This process damages the intestinal barrier‚ which is responsible for the absorption of nutrients as well as for confining toxins within the gut lumen. Such damage allows increased contact and interaction between these molecules and the cells of the innate and adaptive immune system within the lamina propria of the intestinal mucosa‚ via transcytosis. In addition‚ epithelial microfold cells actively transport antigens in food
