Which of the following is the most probable fate of a newly emerging virus that causes high mortality in its host? Select one: А. The newly emerging virus will die out rather quickly or will mutate to be far less lethal. OB. Sporadic outbreaks will be followed almost immediately by a widespread pandemic. С. It is able to spread to a large number of new hosts quickly because the new hosts have no immunological memory of them. OD. The new virus replicates quickly and undergoes rapid adaptation to a series of divergent hosts. OE. A change in environmental conditions such as weather patterns quickly forces the new virus to invade new areas.

Select all of the following that applies to the tradeoff between transmission and virulence that applies to many diseases. a) The tradeoff between transmission and virulence means that diseases always evolve to become more virulent. b) If greater virulence limits transmission, that disease will likely evolve to become less virulent than it could be. c) While making more copies of itself can increase the likelihood of transmission occurring, too much replication of the disease can make the host so sick it won't leave the house and spread the disease. d) A strain of a disease that replicates enough to be transmitted, but not so much that the host gets too sick to move, will be favored by natural selection over strains that either make the host too sick or do not replicate enough to be transmitted. e) If a disease can spread without making its host sick (e.g. when the host is asymptomatic), then the tradeoff between transmission and virulence…

Q3) More than a century ago, Robert Koch realized that to prove the germ theory of disease, he would have to develop a standard for determining causation that would stand the test of scientific scrutiny. (a) Discuss how the principles of Robert Koch's postulate play an important role in modern epidemiology. (b) Explain how an asymptomatic patient can infect another person to the point of causing the person to experience acute symptoms and possibly death.
