For each of the following: Cyanobacteria, Coronavirus, Chytrids, Ciliates, and Chronic wasting disease. Explain with details how does the pathogen invades our tissues and body after transmission. You need to include any receptors, steps etc. in its life cycle and/or the type of replication or reproduction it exhibits and how and where it exits the cells, tissues, or body. This section can also include how it spreads through the body if that is relevant.
Select all of the following that applies to the tradeoff between transmission and virulence that applies to many diseases. a) The tradeoff between transmission and virulence means that diseases always evolve to become more virulent. b) If greater virulence limits transmission, that disease will likely evolve to become less virulent than it could be. c) While making more copies of itself can increase the likelihood of transmission occurring, too much replication of the disease can make the host so sick it won't leave the house and spread the disease. d) A strain of a disease that replicates enough to be transmitted, but not so much that the host gets too sick to move, will be favored by natural selection over strains that either make the host too sick or do not replicate enough to be transmitted. e) If a disease can spread without making its host sick (e.g. when the host is asymptomatic), then the tradeoff between transmission and virulence…

True/False: Mucosal surfaces and external epithelia are major routes of pathogenic infection. Mucosal surfaces are found in tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive tract and the mouth and respiratory tract. While the mouth and respiratory tract are routes of virus but not bacterial infections, the gastrointestinal tract is the route for bacterial but not virus infections.
