placement. What is a hazard? A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm. Risk is the likelihood of that harm. For example hazards in terms of infection control are pathogens. Some pathogens are considered a greater risk to others‚ for example MRSA (super bug) or Clostridium difficile. What casues pathogens to grow? Baceteria grow by splitting in two. In ideal conditions bacteria can divide every 20 minutes‚ so the size of the colony doubles every 20 minutes. In theory a colony of

Thiram and carbendazim are used in majority of the crops as seed dress fungicides against a wide variety of pathogens. The efficacy of the rates of these two fungicides against Fusarium wilt of chickpea was evaluated at four levels (0%‚ 50%‚ 100% and 150%) of the recommended rate

The immune system has 3 lines of defence‚ which fights against foreign pathogens: 1st line of defence is made of physical and chemical barriers. This line of defence is called a passive immunity‚ as it prevents pathogens from entering primarily into the body. These barriers take place at the openings to the outer surface of the body‚ e.g. when a wound is opened‚ it can also occur at the skin
