Question
Chapter 29, 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.

Students have asked these similar questions
Even though genetically engineered mosquitoes might be developed that do not allow the reproduction of malaria protozoa, these mosquitoes would have little, if any, immediate effect on the spread of the disease. Why should this be so? What would have to happen for these mosquitoes to significantly affect the spread of malaria?
The insecticide DDT has been widely used to control the mosquitoes that carry malaria. How would you explain the fact that many mosquito populations are now resistant to DDT?
Malaria
Where did the disease originate?
What impact did it have on the individuals living in the effected areas?
How was the disease spread?
How did individuals combat the disease?
What reforms were initiated after the event?
Your research must contain one location in the U.S. or Colonial America that experienced an outbreak.

- Distinguish between the term one-host tick, two-host tick, and three-host tick. How is this related to the life cycle? i.e., What stages (egg-larva-nymph-adult) remain or leave the host and when does this occur.arrow_forwardSuppose that a time machine allows you to go back in time (and to travel to Australia), and you have collected rabbits and Myxoma from the years 1955 and 1980. Once you are back in the twenty-first century, you infect both sets of rabbits with both sets of Myxoma viruses. The most likely result will be (1) that the rabbits from 1955 injected with the 1955 virus will have a _______ survival rate than those same rabbits injected with the 1980 virus; and (2) that the rabbits from 1955 injected with the 1980 virus will have a _______ survival rate than rabbits from 1980 injected with the 1980 virus. A. lower; lower B. lower; higher C. higher; lower D. higher; higher E. the survival rates will be the same in experiments (1) and (2)arrow_forwardiWhich one of the following statements BEST describes insects as biological vectors of disease?

- In your own words, please answer the question. It is a fact that insects are widely distributed in any type of ecosystem. Some are vectors of causative agents of diseases and yet they can still survive although some don’t. If other animals have their immune system like man, what about the insects? In the context of circulation or the circulatory system, how do insects defend themselves from infection? Give 2 examples.arrow_forwardWhy is the Nipah virus a great illustration of a zoonotic disease? A. Because it's carried by fruit bats across America but it's not even noticed by the American people. B. Because it's carried by cats across Asia and easily spills over into humans. C. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia but almost never spills over into humans. D. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia and easily spills over into humans.arrow_forwardIt is not always easy to categorize a particular case of symbiosis. Suppose a certain species of snail is always found living on a certaincoral. No one has found evidence that the snail harms the coral, sothe relationship is classified as an example of commensalism. Howwould you go about testing this hypothesis? What kinds of observations might lead to the conclusion that the snail is a parasite, or that ithas a mutualistic relationship with the coral?arrow_forward
- Which statements regarding the life cycle of the malaria causing Plasmodiun Falciparum are true? Check all that apply. 1. The sporozites that enter the human body by a mosquito bite are haploid 2. The merozoites produced by liver cells are haploid 3. Merzoites in the bloodstream reproduce and are diploid 4. Some Merozoites produce diploid sexual structures called gametocytes 5. In mosquitoes, gametocytes produce gametes that fuse to form a diploid zygote. Please explain which of the statements are correct and why. Thank you.arrow_forwardIt appears that infection by Plasmodium is negative for Anopheles. We also showed in class that the mosquito immune system can be upregulated to limit or terminate Plasmodium infection of these mosquitoes. So why don’t we see natural selection to upregulate the mosquito’s immune system and get rid of that parasite? Best explanation. Upregulating the immune system comes at the cost of shortening life span and thus (most probably) reproductive success Having a Plasmodium infection is negative for the mosquito, but it protects against much worse pathogens Upregulation of the immune system in Plasmodium leads to more rapid development of Plasmodium, causing even greater problems for Anopheles Statement is wrong. This upregulation was done with genetic engineering in a lab. Alleles to do something like that do not exist in naturearrow_forwardWhy was the demonstration of human resistance to malaria important to evolutionary biology?arrow_forward
- In general, infectious diseases that are commonly fatal are newly evolved relationships between the parasitic organism and the host. Why is this so?arrow_forwardWhy is the Nipah virus a great illustration of a zoonotic disease? A. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia but almost never spills over into humans. B.

Because it's carried by fruit bats across America but it's not even noticed by the American people.arrow_forwardWhich of the following applies to Malaria? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices It is a genetic disease. It is transmitted by mosquitoes. It causes a mutation in the hemoglobin gene. It is caused by a protist parasite.arrow_forward
