- Your friend and you go to Central America for spring break where you have a great time (from what you can remember) except that you both get bitten by mosquitos constantly. Your poor friend comes down with malaria, has to take chloroquine, and is ill for weeks. You experience no health problems at all. You tell your friend, “Sickle-cell anemia runs in my family.

Explain to him what you mean.arrow_forwardEach year, hundreds of millions of people get sick from diseases like Zika, Dengue Fever, and Yellow Fever that are spread by mosquitoes. Some scientists are investigating the possibility of curbing these mosquito-borne diseases by genetically modifying the mosquitoes, such that they become less able to either reproduce or to carry the disease-causing microbes. Should genetically modified mosquitoes be released into the environment to combat these viruses?arrow_forwardWhy doesn't a long lasting vaccine against common cold exist yet?arrow_forward
