Chapter 22, Problem 7TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • DRAW IT Mosquitoes resistant to the pesticide DDT first appeared in India in 1959, but now are found throughout the world. (a) Graph the data in the table below. (b) Examine the graph, then hypothesize why the percentage of mosquitoes resistant to DDT rose rapidly. (c) Suggest an explanation for the global spread of DDT resistance.

MAKE CONNECTIONS The bacterium Wolbachia is asymbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidlythrough mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchersare seeking a strain that confers resistance and does notharm mosquitoes. Compare evolutionary changes thatcould occur if malaria control is attempted using such aWolbachia strain versus using insecticides to kill mosquitoes. (Review Figure 28.16 and Concept 23.4.)
Discussion Thread :
Ever wondered why mosquitoes exist? Everyone knows they serve as vectors for many illnesses (malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever to name a few)....but do they serve any "useful" purpose?
Yes, they do!

Mr. Johnson is admitted to room 337 in an acute care facility. The nurse interviews the client to determine the history of this illness, health history, and family history. The nurse then performs the head-to-toe physical assessment. Mr. Johnson has complained of acute leg pain. The nurse collects further data specifically regarding Mr. Johnson's leg pain. The nurse checks Mr. Johnson's admission orders and notes medication is ordered as needed for leg pain. The nurse returns to Mr. Johnson's room with his pain medication…arrow_forwardVISUALIZE Label the diagram.arrow_forward. In the summer of 2000, only 10 percent of the lobster population in Long Island Sound survived after a massive die-off. Many lobstermen in New York and Connecticut lost small businesses that their families had owned for generations. Some believe the die-off followed heavier sprays of pesticides to control mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus. Explain why a chemical substance that targets mosquitoes might also harm lobsters but not fish.arrow_forward

- 16. Host-Parasite Models Develop appropriate models of the two host-parasite scenarios suggested. HINT: You can adapt the predator-prey model. (a) Consider a species of insect that depends for survival on a plant on which it feeds. It is to the advantage of the insect to keep the hosts alive. Write an appro- priate system of differential equations for the parasite population P(t) and the host population H(t). (b) How might your model adapt to the study of diseases caused by parasitic organisms?arrow_forwardActivity 4. Make a Dichotomous Key.
