1.
To determine:
The process by which the people can protect themselves from mosquito-borne pathogens, beside using repellents
Case summary:
An old man had reached at the doctor’s clinic in Ravenna, Italy. He suffered from combination of symptoms including widespread rashes, fever, nausea, and pain in joints. The scientists reported these symptoms as the emergence of chikungunya, which is related to equine encephalitis viruses. Chikungunya disease was more prevalent in the nations of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Italian patient survived but his crippling pain lasted for several months. He now insists and promotes the use of mosquito repellant.

- When beta-lactamase was isolated from Staphylcoccus aureus and treated with a phosphorylating agent, only the active site, serine was phosphorylated. Additionally, the serine was found to constitute 0.35% (by weight) of this beta-lactamase enzyme. Using this, calculate the molecular weight of this enzyme and estimate the number of amino acids present in the polypeptide.arrow_forwardBased on your results from the Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) media, which of your bacteria were mannitol fermenters and which were not mannitol fermenters?arrow_forwardhelp tutor pleasearrow_forward
- Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out.
