Virus • Virus invades a body cell • Virus forces body cell to make new viruses • Virus often kills body cell after it has made new viruses
Viral Diseases • AIDS • Chickenpox • Measles • Rabies • Polio • Herpes • Cancer • Flu • Common cold
Viruses Mutates Antibody matches spike Antibody does not matches spike
Domain Bacteria • Prokaryotic cells • Cell wall • Peptidoglycan • Reproduce by binary fission

Bacterial Diseases • Strept throat • Tuberculosis • Diptheria • Pertussis • Tetanus • Syphilis • Plague • MRSA
Strept Throat • Steptococcus • Airborne & direct contact • Pharynx and tonsils infected • Sore throat • Fever
Tuberculosis • Mycobacterium • Airborne • Cough • Blood in sputum • Weight loss • Fever
Diphtheria • Corynebacterium • Airborne • Membrane grows over tonsils • Difficult to breathe • Toxin • Heart • Nervous system
Pertussis or Whooping Cough • Bordetella • Airborne • Coughing fits • Whoop sound
Tetanus • Clostridium • Puncture wound • Severe muscle spasms • Can’t breathe
Syphilis • Treponema • STD • Lesions on genitals • Spread to skin • Damage almost any organ in the body
Plague • Yersinia • Bubos • Rat flea • 1357-1350 killed 25,000,000 in Europe • 1900’s killed 20,000,000 in India
MRSAMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus • Super bug • Resistant to antibiotics • Hospital acquired
Antibiotics • Prevent cell wall synthesis • Prevent protein synthesis
Domain Archaea • Prokaryotic cells • Cell wall • Different from bacteria • Cell membrane • Different from bacteria • tRNA different • 56% of DNA new
Archaeons • Found everywhere • Very acidic • Very hot • Very salty • Soil • Oceans • Human body
Kingdom Protista • Eukaryotic cells • Unicellular • Photosynthetic • Heterotrophic
Algae • Chloroplasts • Volvox • Flagella • Colony
Photosynthesizing Protists: Algae • Phytoplankton: • float near the surface of water. • they produce most of earth’s oxygen • form the base of aquatic food chains
Protozoa • Animal like • Motile • Reproduce • Sexual • Asexual
Giardia • Giardiasis • Backpackers disease • Beaver fever • Inhabits intestines of several animals and man • Acquired by drinking water with cysts • Cramping and diarrhea
Plasmodium • Malaria • Most important parasitic disease of humans today • WHO estimates that 270 million new cases occur annually with 2 million annual deaths • Transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes of genusAnopheles
Plasmodium ruptures RBCs Simultaneous lysing of RBCs causes the sudden chills & fever typical of malaria
