What the WAEC syllabus covers in Microorganisms: man and health
Our summary: How microorganisms are carried, the good and harm they do, and how harmful ones and their vectors are controlled.
- Carriers of microorganisms (Examples of carriers: housefly; mosquitoes; tsetsefly should be mentioned.)
- Microorganisms in action: beneficial effects in nature, medicine and industries (Candidates should perform experiments on fermentation, curdling of milk etc. to illustrate the beneficial uses of microorganisms.)
- Harmful effects of microorganisms, diseases caused by microorganisms: cholera, measles, malaria and ring worm (The diseases should be studied with respect to the causative organisms, mode of transmission and symptoms.)
- Towards better health: methods of controlling harmful microorganisms: high temperature, antibiotics, antiseptics, high salinity and dehydration (Effects of these methods on the micro-organisms should be mentioned.)
- Ways of controlling the vectors (Methods of controlling housefly and mosquito should be studied.)
