A comparison of maps suggests that places with high concentration of 5G network towers also have a high prevalence of COVID-19 infections. Soon, it is realized that the map of population density is also quite similar to the maps of 5G towers and COVID-19 infections.Which of the following statements is the most appropriate? a.5G network is a likely cause of increased transmission of COVID-19 infections b.COVID-19 has likely resulted in the construction of 5G network towers in those areas c.Population density acts as a confounder, resulting in an apparent, yet false, association between 5G and COVID-19 d.All of the above are correct

After challenges containing the outbreak, the Kelatavicla lab had to close in January 2018 . Six mice are given antibiotics, certified bad bacteria free, and are shipped to a lab in Montreal. Among the 6 mice, which have been carefully chosen, the frequency of the R allele is 0.5 . The Montreal lab maintains this population under the conditions described in column C for several years. Predict what might happen to the frequency of the R allele over the next several years. Justify your choice with concepts and how they apply to the given case. Ensure you use appropriate terminology to name/identify the concepts and processes.
The current pandemic COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is caused by 2019-nCoV (2019 novel coronavirus). You just learned about the transmission rate hypothesis for the evolution of pathogen virulence and the power of natural selection. Which of the following statements may go through your mind? - For individuals infected with a more virulent viral strain, each cough is likely to contain more virus particles when compared to individuals who are infected with a less virulent strain. Therefore, uninfected individuals will have a higher chance of being infected when encountering the droplets from individuals infected with a more virulent strain. - However, individuals infected with a more virulent viral strain is likely to get sick sooner and show severer symptoms, thus will have less time being out and about when compared to individuals infected with a less virulent viral strain. - If there is no public health measures on social distancing to prevent congregation,…
Approximately 50% of the world’s population is colonised by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), yet only a fraction of the population develops gastric ulcers. A. Why is there a discrepancy between the frequency of H. pylori colonization and the frequency of gastric ulceration? Is H. pylori colonization responsible for gastric ulcers? B. Should a vaccine against H. pylori be developed and administered for everyone? Justify your reasoning.
In a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 100, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 15,000. Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium? Group of answer choices There is no way to know given the information provided Both infections are equally likely Parasiticum mucoides Donoteatum thisbacterium

Which of the following differences between the two diseases could lead to the same basic reproduction number? a. one disease has a higher transmission rate and a longer recovery period than the other b. one disease has a lower transmission rate and a longer recovery period than the other c. one disease has a lower transmission rate and a shorter recovery period than the other d. for one disease, the recovert period is long; for the other, no one recovers

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is endemic in many tropical areas of the world. Suppose an unseasonably warm spring has led to increased population of mosquitoes and subsequently epidemic levels of DHF infection in Sri Lanka during this year. Under normal circumstances, community X in Sri Lanka has an average of 12 DHF cases per month. Define endemic? Define epidemic?

A research team reads a journal article about a new finding that countries with greater prevalence of infection with Virus X also had greater prevalence of brain cancer (a rare disease). The research team wants to determine whether there is an association between virus X and brain cancer by using a study design that can provide a greater quality of evidence. They decide to use their access to a large existing prospective cohort study called ALIVE that enrolled participants at birth and followed them until death. At ALIVE study entry (baseline), participants answered a survey and the study team collected blood specimens that were stored long-term in the freezer. Assume that virus x is not curable, and once an individual is infected with virus x we can always detect the virus in the blood in the future. However, assaying (measuring) the blood for virus X is very expensive. Virus X has only recently been discovered, so no participants in the ALIVE cohort have had Virus X measured yet.…
