Samonella...Make sure you ALWAYS wash your hands after playing with your turtle.

Well you have to understand that the turtle's skeleton is attached to the inside of the shell, so it wont all come off. You should maybe go speak to someone who does taxadermy in oyur area. They most likely use some sort of beetle (Dermestidae) to clean the flesh off of dead animals. so just ask them if they have any Dermestid beetles you could have

Fleas are parasites, because they live on rats and do not benefit the rats.\n\nFleas carry many communicable diseases, most  notably, bubonic plague, murine plague, murine typhus, and tularemia. \n\nThere are many other diseases spread by parasites. Rabies can be spread by bats that drink animal blood (vampire bats.) Mosquitoes probably cause more death from communicable diseases than any other animal. \n\nCheck the World Health Organization (WHO) infectious disease page and search for "insect vectors" for more, though insects are not the only parasites that spread disease.

Sea turtles have low metabolic rates; that is, they have relatively low heartbeat frequency and breathing rate. Both the fact that they are poikilotherms and their usually large size contribute to this condition. The maximum apnea (no breathing) period recorded for a turtle (loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta) is about 410 minutes (almost 7 hours); the capacity for holding their breath is lowered by stressful conditions or high activity.\nIn addition, at least some aquatic (freshwater) turtles can also breathe through the tegument of their pharynx or cloaca.

there are a lot of creatures living in or on the human body, some are useful (helping the digestion) some are harmful (causing diseases) or other annoying ones: itchy mites, ticks, worms, fungi, lice, parasites, bacterias, fleas and others.

genes do not cause sickness bacteria, germs and virusis. Genes just can make you more able to catch certain things or diseases.

I chigger doesn't actually bite.  It burrows down inside your skin.  It releases a chemical that makes you itch.  That way it keeps it's hole open for fresh air.  If you don't scratch, the chigger will suffocate and die and your body will get rid of the tiny corpse.  Now isn't that a pleasant thought?

Balantidium Coli is a parasite common in both animals and humans.It has two forms,one that lives in the intestin-the trophosoite and the other that lives in the environment-the cyst.Infested humans or animals spread these cysts with their feces contaminating the food or water.So cyst contaminated food and/or water is the way other beings get infested.As for prevention- good hygiene:washing hands,washing the vegetables or fruits or other food,drinking water from safe sourses.One thing worth mentioning is that this parasite is very often found without it harming the host.This means that the person/animal can have balantidioses and not have any clinical signs .Still, if the host suffers from other diseases,gets imunosupressed,suffers from starvation,cold and so on, the parasite multiplies and causes digestive problems.Another thing:humans can get this disease from animals,but animals can get it from humans ,so it is a zoonosis.

Are you asking if there are any diseases of algae, or any diseases caused by algae?

Most animals that get ill hide it to keep predators from getting attacked. When animals do get sick they tend to die quickly.\n\nThe fact that they die from disease also means they cannot pass it on so easily, either genetically or by contact.\n\nThe other big issue in my mind is that we live such horribly unhealthy lifestyles today- bad diet, no exercise/active lifestyles, environmental pollutants (indoors is often worse than outside in a bad city!), avoiding germs artificially instead of building immunity, letting bad genes build up in our genotype, etc.

They have the short, simple digestive system of a carnivore that is very tolerant of rotting food full of bacteria.\n\nSome reptiles are also very tolerant of rotting food.

Here is an article on the Environmental Health Prospectives webpage regarding the proximity to pollution sources and the risk of amphibian limb malformation:\n\nhttp://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?pubmedid=16263502\n\nThe references listed with that article should give you a lot of potential information.\n\nHere's another article looking at the effect of trematode infection on amphibian limb development:\n\nhttp://condor.wesleyan.edu/soconnell/wescourses/2004s/ees199/01/powerpoint/frogLimbDeformities-SciencePaper.doc\n\nAnd here's one on the combination of trematode infection and pesticide exposure:\n\nhttp://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/99/15/9900\n\nGood luck!

Also, if u don't eat birds (if ur a vegetarian) u won't get the bird flu. Vegetarianism also has a lot of other benefits. The PETA and Vegan Outreach websites have a lot of info on that.

Turtles are slow because they don't have to go fast! Most turtles are herbivores, which means they eat plants. Plants don't run, so they're fairly easy to eat. Also, turtles have thick shells to protect them from predators. If you've ever picked up a turtle, you've seen how they can tuck in their heads and feet. Physically, turtles are slow because they have a pretty slow metabolism, which means their bodies process energy slowly. But animals with slow metabolisms often have longer lives -- some turtles live for more than one hundred years! Slow and steady wins the race.

There are a couple that I know of, and they are foodborne. The first woudl be Trichinomas. It comes from eating undercooked pork. It's symptoms are swelling around the eyes, muscle pain, and fever. Another would be a tapeworm. Its biggest symptom is rapid weight loss. Another is a parasite you can get from certain fish. It's really gross. It attaches to your esophogus and lays its eggs there. The host usually learns about it by coughing up the eggs. Nasty!
