Concept explainers
(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.

The mammalian phylogenies (labeled a and b) were produced by two different research groups. a. In which tree do phylogenetic relationships most closely align with biogeography and why? (consult the Teeling and Hedges paper) b. What are the most closely related species to Chiroptera in each tree? Might the use of convergent traits for building phylogenies explain this difference? If so, which tree is most likely to have relied on convergent traits and why? c. What are some possible reasons that the two research groups came up with different phylogenies (in general terms)? describe at least three possible reasons.arrow_forward
