Isolation - SS3 Agriculture Lesson Note

 Isolation is a method of controlling parasites by keeping infected individuals or animals away from healthy ones. This can apply to both human and animal populations. Isolation involves:

 

Quarantine: Infected individuals or animals are separated from healthy ones for a specific period to prevent the spread of parasites. This is commonly used in healthcare and animal husbandry.

 

Isolation Rooms: In healthcare settings, patients with contagious diseases are often placed in special rooms to prevent the spread of parasites to other patients.

 

Animal Pens and Housing: In farming and pet care, infected animals are isolated from healthy ones to prevent the transmission of parasites like worms or mites.
