Please answer fast One word answers West Nile virus was first detected in North America in 1999. It is commonly spreadby mosquitoes which become carriers after feeding on infected birds. Most peoplewho are infected do not develop any signs or symptoms. About 1 in 5 people willdevelop a fever and complain of headache, joint pains, or a rash. Less than 1% ofpatients develop inflammation of the brain which can lead to coma and seizures.About 0.1% of infected people die. According to the CDC, Delaware had no reportedcases in 2009 and 2010, 1 case in 2011, and 9 cases in 2012. Transmission rarelyoccurs between humans and has only been observed through blood transfusions,organ transplants, or from mother to baby during pregnancy.1. Is the virus spread mainly by horizontal or vertical transmission?2. List one of the symptoms of the disease.,3. List one of the signs of the disease.4. What is the mortality rate for the disease? ("5. What was the incidence for Delaware in 2009?6. What was the incidence for Delaware in 2012?,7. Do you think West Nile virus is an endemic disease or an emerging disease inDelaware? Explain.

Ans 1:- Vertical Transmission Ans 2:- Fever Ans 3:- Neck rigidity (due to brain inflammation)

The Ebola virus is a zoonotic virus, which means that it can spread from animals to humans. Once a person is infected, the virus affects multiple organ systems in the body. Infected cells can attach themselves to blood vessels, causing uncontrollable internal bleeding in some patients, accompanied by high fever—a condition known as hemorrhagic fever. Other common symptoms include liver and kidney failure, vomiting, and diarrhea. On average, 50% of people that contract Ebola die from the disease, though the fatality rates of past outbreaks have varied from 25% to 90%. Scientists isolate virus RNA from blood samples and then convert the RNA to DNA. Using DNA sequencing, they then compare virus sequences isolated from individuals in different locations and at different times in an outbreak. By identifying differences in the viral genomes, scientists can reconstruct the history of how the virus spreads and mutates. Tracking mutations over time can also reveal whether the virus is…
