Summary Introduction
To evaluate:
The chances of developing diabetes in uncontrolled and controlled models of mice and draw conclusions supported by the data provided in the graphs.
Introduction:
The risk of developing type 1 diabetes by the mice is high due to affected parents. The two groups are taken and infected with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Hp) to analyze the risk of developing the disease. Hp is a naturally occurring roundworm of rodents. It inhabits the intestinal tract of rodents. The graphs given below show the link between the infections caused by Hp and the percentage of the diabetic mice.

Students have asked these similar questions
with HIV, explain the mechanism of intracellular infection and the role of reverse transcriptase. What would you explain about the process?
What is the significance of the CD4+ count? ( Discuss the meaning of various ranges of CD4 counts.)
List 5 opportunistic infections AND describe data to suggest whether or not a patient has such an infection.
Consider that the Herd Immunity Threshold is dependent on the reproduction number for an infectious disease. The combination of herd immunity and quarantines were highly effective for eradicating smallpox. What is different about the symptoms of polio infection that makes quarantining infected individuals much more difficult?
In 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. When N=1, is such an inference statistically justified? In addition to Yes or No, jot down your thoughts on the possible association between AIDS and this case.

These antigens are from the head of the H spikes an area that sticks out from the virus and so, is very easy for human immune cells to detect. However, the problem with using the head of the H spike as an antigen is... O The H spike head mutates very rapidly, so quickly changes to forms not recognized by human immune cells. O The H spike head is exposed on the surface of the virus for only a short period of time. Viruses quickly pull the H spikes back inside the virus, shiclding them from human immune cells. O The H spike head is often too big for the human immune cells to attack. O The H spike head is often too small for the human immune cells to bind to.arrow_forwardHello!Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of targeted vs mass control for zoonotic malaria.
