Microbiology and parasitology Flashcards
The idea that life arises only from already existing life
Biogenesis
It is the study of the immune system, which protects us from
infection
Imunology
-It is an organism that harbors a guest organism
Host
the study of microscopic and submicroscopic details of
microorganisms.
Microbial cytology
the study of the pathogenic microbes and the role of
microbes in human illness.
Medical microbiology
It is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria,
viruses, fungi and protozoa
Microbiology
It is the study of the molecular principles of the
physiology processes in microorganisms.
Molecular biology
- it is an organism that lives within or on a host.
Parasites
it is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship
between them.
Parasitology
it is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its hosts
(microbes, germs).
Pathogens
it is the study of protozoa
Protozoology
Advocated washing hands to
stop the spread of disease
Ignas semmelweis
He invented the petri dish.
R.J petri
inactivated, hard to kill, non-reproductive structure produced by
certain bacteria. When the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore
can reactivate itself to vegetative state.
Endospore
First proof of Germ Theory of
Disease with Bacillus anthracis
* Growth of bacteria on solid
media
Robert Koch
