The SIR model for the spread of an infectious disease is used to predict the spread of a disease in a community. The variables are: S: Number of susceptible people, who are currently healthy but could get the disease I: Number f=of infected people Put S horizontally and I vertically. They are related by the following equations. S'=-0.0005SI I'=0.0005SI-0.05I What are the S-nullclines and the I-nullclines?

Does this epidemic curve suggest a point source or propagated epidemic? Justify your answer. What does the "moving averages" (black line) represent? bruefly explain this term in relation to the concept of "variability"?
Panthers are also susceptible to a respiratory infection [feline calicivirus]. Individuals in a population, who are homozygous dominant or heterozygous for genes encoding parasite or pathogen resistance, are more likely to resist an infection or parasite. Currently, population estimates of the Florida panther range from 100 – 160 individuals. Let’s assume that the population equals 160. During a particularly bad calicivirus outbreak, 40 Florida panthers die as a result of the infection. Using this information, answer the following questions utilizing the Hardy – Weinberg equation when necessary. What is the most likely genotype of the affected panthers that died from the respiratory infection? Use the letter “A” for your symbol. 2. What percentage of the population is most likely resistant to the calicivirus infection?

Which of the following does not refer(s) to distribution of a disease by time? a. Point epidemics b. Rural-urban differences c. Seasonal trends of a diseases d. Secular trend of the disease QUESTION 2 Which of the following statements is correct? a. A nuclear accident would probably result in cyclic patterns of health consequences b. The COVID-19 infection is an example of a point source epidemic c. If symptoms of depression experienced in a particular locality increase during certain months of every year, compared with other months in the same year, this is an example of secular trend in depressive symptoms d. Contamination of the drinking water source of a community by infectious agent(s) will likely result in a continuous common source epidemic
There are two tests for a disease, one is rapid and the other is slow. Given that an individual is infected, the rapid test will register positive 40% of the time, while the slow test will register positive 80% of the time; additionally, both tests will be positive 35% of the time. Suppose in the above example that people not infected always test negative for both tests. Suppose in the above example that people not infected always test negative for both tests. 5. Of the people in the population who are tested, 75% of their results from the slow test are positive. What is the chance that a persons has the virus conditioned on getting negative result on the slow test?
In a population where the proportion of individuals who are suspects to malaria (genotype HbA/HbA) is 0.31, and the population is assumed to be at Hardy Weinberg equilibrium what proportion of the population should be heterozygous HbA/HbS?
In a community in which R elderly people and people with comorbidities are susceptible to a particular SARS virus, the rate of growth of the spread of the virus was jointly proportional to the number of people who had caught the virus and the number of susceptible people who had not caught it. If 10 percent of those susceptible had the virus initially and 25 percent had been infected after 3 weeks, what percent of those susceptible had been infected after 6 weeks?
If the incidence rate of a very serious disease is 25/100,000 person-years and the prevalence of this disease in the population is 75/100,000, what is the average survival time of individuals who contract this disease? [Assume the population is in steady state] * Hint* Formula (D=P/IR)
A biologist is studying a disease in corn that seems to be more common in cornfields in warmer weather. He is using three genotypes of corn and growing them in greenhouses under different temperatures (each genotype is grown under all temperatures) and measuring susceptibility to the disease. Draw a diagram with norms of reaction showing that the three genotypes respond differently to temperature in terms of disease susceptibility.
