Invasive species cause most of the worst problems in local ecosystems. The presence of a new species, particularly one at the top of the food chain, can destroy an ecosystem and cause numerous species to become extinct. One species that is causing numerous problems in America’s waterway is the aquatic zebra mussel.
Native to Russia, the zebra mussel has recently invaded the Great Lakes and many other American lakes and rivers. The mussels attach themselves to the bottoms of boats, a convenient method that lets them travel easily. They also often attach themselves to water pipes. This action results in clogged pipes, some of which are used to bring drinking water to cities. The blocked pipes cost the cities huge amounts of money to unblock. Also, zebra mussels reproduced so rapidly that they often smother the spawning grounds of various fish and other mussels, thereby prohibiting their growth.
Additionally, zebra mussels in North America have very few natural enemies, meaning that it is diffcult to eliminate them once they are established in a river or lake. Likewise, scientists have yet to discover an environmentally-safe way to kill zebra mussels. These two facts help contribute to the extremely rapid expansion of the zebra mussels. Should this expansion not be stopped, zebra mussels will soon be causing problems in virtually all of the country’s waterways.
The reading and lecture materials are concerned with the characteristics of a successful HIV prevention program. The professor discusses Thailand's HIV prevention program to illustrates the claim made in the reading passage.
First of all, the professor discusses investing more money and having stable funding contribute to the success of Thailand's HIV prevention program. In fact, he says that Thailand's HIV prevention program used to be poorly funded and not high priority by the government. However, Thailand government realized the dangerous of HIV, so they decided to increase the funding by 2000 percent and sustain the fund of this program. This supports the claim of the reading passage that a successful HIV program need to receive a large and stable funding.
Secondly, the professor talks about Thailand was able to lower rate of new infection considerably by implementing aggressive education program. He argues that by teaching the people who is most contracting to the virus like drug users or young un marriage men/women. The education indicates the dangerous of sharing drug needle or unprotected sex to these people, thus the program is able decline the number of new infection. This illustrates the point made in the reading passage that education is essential in the prevention of HIV infection.
Finally, the professor mentions the effectiveness of Thailand's new law in HIV prevention. To illustrate this, he says that HIV infected people have been no longer fare being reported to the government. The result was more people were willing to go tested for HIV virus and thus, the infection rates went down. This exemplifies the point made in the reading passage that accepting HIV patients is able to decline the number of infection.
