The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between pseudophyllidean cestodes and cyclophyllidean cestodes. (a) Pseudophyllidean Cestode has: (i) Two slit-like grooves (bothria); (ii) No branching uterus; (iii) Uterine pore; (iv) Common genital pore lying ventrally the middle line; (v) Operculated egg hatching out ciliated larvae. (b) Cyclophyllidean Cestode has: (i) Fourcup-like suckers; (ii) Uterus with lateral branches; (iii) [...]

Let us make an in-depth study of microbial pathogenicity. The below given article will help you to learn about the sources and spread of infection in community. Pathogenicity is the ability of the microbes to initiate the infection. It requires three attributes: 1. Transmissibility or communicability from one host or reservoir to a fresh host; 2. Infectivity or the ability [...]
