To determine:
The type of infectious agent that is responsible for causing the measles.
Concept introduction:
Measles is a viral disorder that produces rashes, fever, sore throat, headache, dry cough, and conjunctivitis. Measles is also known as rubeola or red measles, which are the most contagious and one of the serious childhood diseases. Koplik’s spot is the characteristic feature of the disease measles.
Explanation of Solution
Measles is among the most contagious infectious diseases that transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets. The disease is caused by a member of the Morbillivirus genus, which is a single-stranded, enveloped RNA virus. Measles is a viral disorder caused by measles virus or rubeola virus; a single stranded RNA virus with an enveloped helical capsid.
The causative agent of measles is rubeola virus or measles virus, which belongs to a member of the Morbillivirus genus.
To determine:
The process by which measles spread.

Explanation of Solution
Measles is among the most contagious infectious diseases that transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets. The disease is caused by a member of the Morbillivirus genus, which is a single-stranded, enveloped RNA virus.
Human is the major reservoir of rubella virus, and epidemic spread is carried out by crowding, low level of herd immunity, malnutrition, and improper medical care. The virus installs into the respiratory mucosa and infects the tracheal and bronchial cells.
Measles spread mainly through respiratory droplets and its epidemic spread is carried out by crowded place, low level of immunity, and improper medical care.
To determine:
The reason that the individuals attending sporting events would be more susceptible to exposure to the measles.

Measles is also known as rubeola or red measles, which are the most contagious and one of the serious childhood diseases. Koplik’s spot is the characteristic feature of the disease measles.
Explanation of Solution
The individuals attending sporting events would be more susceptible to exposure to the measles because the sports events invite a huge number of people that come from different parts of the world and if only one or two people carried the measles, they would able to spread it fairly across different people and places. Measles include the most highly infectious virus that can be transmitted readily to susceptible persons. These viruses can spread through respiratory droplet contacts.
Measles is among the most contagious infectious diseases that transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets. The disease is caused by a member of the Morbillivirus genus, which is a single-stranded, enveloped RNA virus.
Sporting events generally involve a large number of individuals often crowded into a stadium and if any one individual had measles infection, he would able to spread it fairly to susceptible individuals.

Can you tell…arrow_forwardYou have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.arrow_forward
