Onchocerca tubingensis

Onchocerca tubingensis is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Onchocerca tubingensis rather than just read about it. In short: Onchocerca tubingensis is the name of a nematode. It was discovered in 1974 and published by O.

Key takeaways

Onchocerca tubingensis belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Onchocerca tubingensis to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Onchocerca tubingensis from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Onchocerca tubingensis is the name of a nematode. It was discovered in 1974 and published by O. Bain und H. Schulz-Key in Tropenmedizin und Parasitologie and named after Tübingen. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are the host of this parasite. The adult worms of Onchocerca tubingensis are found in subcutaneous nodules on the caudal part of the back, while the microfilariae are distributed on the ventral part of the body with maximum densities in the region of the sternum and with lower densities on the inner sides of the hindlegs. The infection rates of 94 red deer investigated in southern Germany during 1907–1974 were 23%.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Onchocerca tubingensis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Onchocerca tubingensis claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Onchocerca tubingensis before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Onchocerca tubingensis ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Onchocerca tubingensis

In research: Onchocerca tubingensis appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Onchocerca tubingensis in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Onchocerca tubingensis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cervus, Nematode stubs, Nematodes described in 1974, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Onchocerca tubingensis outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
