Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 17PS
Interpreting Data The graph shows the number of cases per week of Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya virus in Puerto Rico during the period from November 1, 2015 to April 14, 2016. The same mosquitoes spread all three viruses. Did all three diseases show a similar pattern during this time period? Explain.

- You are a scientist researching West Nile virus, a mosquito-borne pathogen. You note that the number of cases of West Nile disease in your county skyrocketed to their highest levels ever this past summer, which also was the wettest summer in 100 years. Using the scientific method, develop a sound hypothesis explaining the increase in disease cases last summer and a method for testing this hypothesis.arrow_forwardWhy was the location of the Ebola outbreak so catastrophic? A. Because it began on the border of 3 African countries that are extremely isolated. B. Because it began on the border of 3 African countries that are densely populated and well connected to each other. C. Because it began on the border of 3 continents that are densely populated and well connected to each other. D.

- How can the knowledge that we gained from the Zika and Ebola outbreaks be applied to this current pandemic? Do you see any similarities? Any differences?arrow_forwardThe average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks. The first EVD outbreaks occurred in remote villages in Central Africa, near tropical rainforests. The 2014–2016 outbreak in West Africa was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976. There were more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It also spread between countries, starting in Guinea then moving across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia. It is thought that fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are natural Ebola virus hosts." According to the description above and your understanding of the course content (terminology) on dynamics of disease transmission, identify the incorrect statement. a. EVD can start as a common source, and thereafter become a propagated epidemic b. EVD is usually transmitted as an airborne infection c. EVD is a zoonotic infection d. EVD is…arrow_forwardWhat was “the scariest moment of the Ebola epidemic” and why? A. When it became undetectable - because it had obviously mutated to hide itself. B. When it was found in the U.S. C. When it was found in India - because of the high population density there. D. When it was found in Lagos - a city with the population of three African countries combinedarrow_forward
