Malaria (It is a disease caused by Protozoa Plasmodium family)

Notes:
Enteric fermentation is a digestive process that takes place in the digestive systems of ruminant animals by which carbohydrates are broken down by microorganisms into simple molecules for absorption into the bloodstream of an animal.

Notes:
Bacteriophage a virus that parasitizes a bacterium by infecting it and reproducing inside it. Bacteriophages are commonly used in genetic research. They are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome, and may have structures that are either simple or elaborate.

Notes:
Strawberry is the fruit which has its seeds outside the body. The “seeds” on the outside of a strawberry are actually the plant’s ovaries and are called “achenes.” Each “seed” is technically a separate fruit that has a seed inside of it.

Notes:
Causes range from bacteria, viruses, and parasites to food reactions and unclean water. The flu comes with symptoms like fever, congestion, muscle aches, and fatigue. The cause is the influenza virus. More severe cases can lead to life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia.

Notes:
Lichen is not a single organism. Rather, it is a symbiosis between different organisms – a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. Cyanobacteria are sometimes still referred to as blue-green algae.
