Trypanosoma cruzi is a species of parasitic euglenoid protozoans. Trypanosoma cruzi can cause Chagas disease which is “a protozoan disease of the cardiovascular system”. (Tortora, G.J., Funke, B.R., & Case, C. L. (N.d.) Microbiology: An introduction.) originating from a triatomine bug. The triatomine bug is a type of reduviid bug that can carry the parasite trypanosoma cruzi. These bugs are found mostly in the southern parts of america America as well as found in Mexico, Central America and South
Trypanosomes coevolved with humans through a variety of mechanisms that left lasting effects on both organisms. These parasites generate two main human diseases: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, and African sleeping sickness, caused by Trypanosoma brucei. These two trypanosomes diverged early in humans, and therefore, evolved very differently from each other, each leaving its own impact on its host (Stevens and Gibson 1998). Human and non-human immune systems have developed many defenses

will soon increase production to ten million. In theory, we can build hundreds of millions of mosquitoes in this place.” This sentence from the passage says that they can produce so many mosquitoes and it costs nothing for them to be transported and fly on their own. These insects can help with the problem because the scientists can produce lots of these engineered mosquitoes, so we don’t have to worry that we couldn’t make many of these creatures to fight the aedes aegypti mosquitoes for us.

In the book, Siddhartha hears the teaching of Buddha but in the film, this is left out. This could have been for the purpose of saving time and as such, the idea is presented in a nut shell. It is only an 80 minutes film, so the filmmaker has to leave certain things out to make space for some other inclusions. The oriental feel to the film (Rooks, 1972) is something one cannot ignore. The scenes of rural India, Rabindra Sangeet, sweeping shots of forests, lakes and sunsets, the character of Kamala
CONCLUSION When you put an egg in vinegar, we see that the shell dissolves, but do you ever wonder why? An egg is made mostly out of calcium carbonate which reacts with an ingredient in vinegar, acetic acid. Acetic acid is about 4% of the vinegar and what breaks apart the solid calcium carbonate crystals. The bubbles we see, from the egg, is the carbonate that make carbon dioxide and the other calcium ions float free. This is the equation: CaCO3 (s) + 2 HC2H3O2 (aq) → Ca(C2H3O2)2 (aq) + H2O
