Mindmap: https://emmatheteachie.co.uk/product/... **This video is for the topic of Infection and Response for GCSE Biology and Combined Science (9-1) - it is written for the AQA specification but overlaps with other exam boards.** We’ll start by looking at Rose Black Spot - like the name suggests, this fungal disease affects rose plants and causes black spots. I’ll explain how it spreads, all of the symptoms and how gardeners can treat it. Then we’ll cover the deadly disease malaria - this is a protist disease that spreads using mosquitoes as a vector. We’ll discuss the two main methods that focus on reducing mosquito bites. At the end are some quick questions - these are a good chance to test what you’ve learnt and improve any misunderstandings! Try them in your head on in the Infection & Response Workbook, available from www.emmatheteachie.co.uk I hope this video helps you understand this topic a little better, let me know if you enjoyed it and what else you’d like to see from me!
