The basic geohydrology of the Edwards aquifer in the Balcones fault zone is, by now, well understood and has been capably described by many authors, especially Arnow (1959), Abbott (1975), Maclay and Small (1984), and Senger and Kreitler (1984).ONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. 1. There are two Edwards aquifers in Texas, one in the Edwards Plateau and the second in the Balcones fault zone area. Both are fractured, cavernous aquifers developed in carbonate rocks that were deposited in very shallow-marine shelf environments.
Casual Agent: The nematode (roundworm) Enterobius vermicularis (previously Oxyuris vermicularis) also called human pinworm. (Adult females: 8 to 13 mm, adult male: 2 to 5 mm. ) Humans are considered to be the only hosts of E. vermicularis. A second species, Enterobius gregorii, has been described and reported from Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a viral infection of the skin or occasionally of the mucous membranes, sometimes called water warts. It is caused by a DNA poxvirus called the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). MCV has no nonhuman-animal reservoir (infecting primarily humans, though equids can rarely be infected). Four types of MCV are known, MCV-1 to -4; MCV-1 is the most prevalent and MCV-2 is seen usually in adults.
