  • MIM3 Draft Press Release Final Docx
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Tahli Kouperstein, (240) 662-2221 [email protected] EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED IN AN ALL-NEW SEASON OF ANIMAL PLANET’S MONSTERS INSIDE ME -- On October 5, Season Three Shares the Gruesome and Deadly Stories Of Parasites Living Within Us -- (Silver Spring, Md.) – Just because a parasite is not a bear, tiger or some other large predator, that doesn’t mean it can’t be as deadly…if not more so. MONSTERS INSIDE ME returns on Friday, October 5, at 8 PM (ET/PT), retelling the real-life, harrowing dramas of people infected by deadly parasites as doctors and scientists try to unravel each case before it’s too late. MONSTERS INSIDE ME reveals what happens to unsuspecting victims when the smallest creatures turn out to be the biggest monsters. Parasites are organisms that live on or in another species, which then serve as hosts from which the parasite gains nutrients. Failing to recognize or incorrectly diagnosing a parasite can wreak havoc and sometimes cause death. This season, MONSTERS INSIDE ME features stories about people who are harboring tapeworms, flesh-eating diseases, the bubonic plague, rabies, rat-bite fever, a brain-eating amoeba and more. The series also chronicles accounts of victims who suffer from objects that mistakenly are left in them during surgery. • When Kiera, from Springfield, Ohio, experiences severe headaches, she is rushed to the emergency room. Initially, doctors perform a spinal tap and suspect meningitis. After an MRI is performed, doctors realize she might have a teratoma, a tumor that is composed of cells from other organs, which can grow hair, teeth and even eyes.

  • A Study of Learning Gains and Attitudes in Biology Using an Emerging Disease Model in Teaching Ecology
    A Study of Learning Gains and Attitudes in Biology Using an Emerging Disease Model in Teaching Ecology Susan Chabot CATALySES, Summer 2017 Science Teacher/Department Chair Lemon Bay High School Englewood, Florida [email protected] Abstract Lemon Bay High School (LBHS) is a mid-sized suburban public high school on the southwest coast of Florida in Charlotte County. Although we have a robust honors and advance placement (AP) science program, the number of general students taking additional science classes is small. We have recognized this trend and account dwindling general science enrollment to the shift in biology instruction that followed the state induction of the biology end-of-course exam (EOC). All students must pass biology and take (not pass) the biology EOC to receive a high school diploma. Instruction in preparation for changing biology standards and focus over the last 15 years has drastically altered the delivery of biology content. Although currently more emphasis is placed on project-based/thematic learning units, teachers of biology have been forced to rely on direct instruction methods in order to complete the necessary material for this state-mandated test. The shift has been away from depth of understanding and scientific thinking skills to quick-coverage of material in the hopes students will recall some vocabulary and concepts during the biology end-of-course exam. With stagnant test scores in general biology classes and waning appreciation for the sciences, the belief is that student attitudes and science content understanding will improve through the integration of thematic, project-based learning units that incorporate emerging pathogens, disease, and biology content standards.

    Snails and slugs aren’t just agricultural and horticultural pests David G. Robinson Ph.D. USDA APHIS National Malacology Laboratory The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA 19103 USA Invasive mollusk species have the potential to: Introduce snail-vectored human and livestock diseases, including cerebral and abdominal angiostrongyliasis Introduce these diseases to native species and other invasive species that are already present Laboratory studies indicate that diseases such as those that affect recognized vectors (such as GAS and veronicellid slugs) can be introduced into native snail and slug populations, increasing the threat to Public Health Facilitate the spread of other diseases not normally associated with mollusks For example, large accumulations of dead GAS shells filling with rain water can provide an ideal breeding environment for mosquito larvae – producing more mosquitoes and perhaps facilitating the spread of malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and as of 2015 chikungunya (throughout the West Indies, including the U.S. Virgin Islands), as well as Africa (where it originated) Plant pathogens such as Phytophtora spp. , not usually associated with molluscs, can also be vectored by snails including GAS Dead shells along roadside in Barbados (photo: A. Fields) The association of invasive, synanthropic snails and slugs with human habitation brings snails and slugs, if populations are high enough, into direct contact with people Directly impact urban and suburban householders, leaving slime trails, piles of feces and dead, rotting snails in homes and gardens This may also impact tourism Example: GAS on golf courses, in hotels in hotel gardens, floating dead in swimming pools, etc.
