Chapter 28, Problem 2S
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The analysis of the method, which is best in the long run. Also, determine the analysis of the biology of the disease and the efficacy of carrying out each of the methods on a large scale.
Introduction:
There are three methods of eradicating malaria which includes elimination of the mosquito vector from the body, killing of the parasites after they entered the human body, and the development of the vaccines against the parasite.

Hello!Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of targeted vs mass control for zoonotic malaria. ( if you can also link an article which mentions this It will be much appreciated).
thank you!
discuss methods used to control vector-borne diseases, specifically mosquitos. 1) Is there one method you think is more beneficial than others when it comes to the controlling and prevention of mosquito-borne diseases? Why/why not? 2) Also, how large do you think is the impact of human environmental change (man's activities) on emerging infectious diseases in animals and man?
A malaria vaccine has proved to be 77% effective in early trials and could be a major breakthrough against the disease, says the University of Oxford team behind it.
Malaria kills more than 400,000 people a year, mostly children in sub-Saharan Africa.
But despite many vaccines being trialled over the years, this is the first to meet the required target.
The researchers say this vaccine could have a major public health impact.
When trialled in 450 children in Burkina Faso, the vaccine was found to be safe, and showed "high-level efficacy" over 12 months of follow-up.
Larger trials in nearly 5,000 children between the ages of five months and three years will now be carried out across four African countries to confirm the findings.
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through mosquito bites. Although preventable and curable, the World Health Organization estimates there were 229 million cases worldwide in 2019 and 409,000 deaths.…

- Imagine a newly developed drug that is highly lethal against all stages in the life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii. The drug has been found to be safe and effective both for human and for veterinary use. Although the drug can eliminate infection in both humans and cats, its use in humans will have vey little impact on overall prevalence of human toxoplasmosis. Its use in cats, alternatively, could, at least in theory, reduce prevalence in both humans and cats. Explain this difference.arrow_forwardIn a case study, scientists frequently infer that Malignant transformation of hymenolepis nana in human host occurred because of the patient’s HIV/AIDS status and resultant immunocompromised state.
