Ascariasis and Taeniasis (Pathogen)
Answers
Answer:
Taeniasis is an infection caused by the tapeworm, a type of parasite. Parasites are small organisms that attach themselves to other living things in order to survive. The living things the parasites attach to are called hosts.
Parasites can be found in contaminated food and water. If you consume contaminated food or drinks, you may contract a parasite that can live and sometimes grow and reproduce inside your body.
Taeniasis is an intestinal tapeworm infection caused by eating contaminated beef or pork. It’s also known by the following names:
Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm)
Taenia solium (pork tapeworm)
Explanation:
Municipal sewage sludge is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds of biological and mineral origin that are removed from wastewater and sewage in sewage treatment plants. Sludge is a by-product of physical (primary treatment), biological (activated sludge, trickling filters, or rotating biological contractors), and physiochemical (precipitation with lime, ferric chloride, or alum) treatment of wastewater. Many of the pathogenic microorganisms present in raw wastewaters will find their way into municipal sludges. Treatment of these sludges by anaerobic or aerobic digestion and/or dewatering will reduce the number of pathogens, but significant numbers will remain. The type of treatment will determine the concentrations and relative risk of disposal.
