(1)
To determine:
Alternate ways to protect from mosquito-borne pathogens without using repellents.
Case summary:
In the given scenario, an old man from Italy with symptoms of joint pain, fever, nausea, and difficulty in breathing goes to the doctor. Thus, relating the symptoms with the equine encephalitis virus, the doctors now could diagnose the virus as chikungunya virus.
(2)
To determine:
The reason Aedes is called as tiger mosquito.
Case summary:
In the given scenario, an old man from Italy with symptoms of joint pain, fever, nausea, and difficulty in breathing goes to the doctor. Thus, relating the symptoms with the equine encephalitis virus, the doctors now could diagnose the virus as chikungunya virus.
(3)
To determine:
The ineffectiveness of antibiotics like penicillin, ciprofloxacin, and erythromycin in treating chikungunya.
Case summary:
In the given scenario, an old man from Italy with symptoms of joint pain, fever, nausea, and difficulty in breathing goes to the doctor. Thus, relating the symptoms with the equine encephalitis virus, the doctors now could diagnose the virus as chikungunya virus.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
