- Imagine a newly developed drug that is highly lethal against all stages in the life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii. The drug has been found to be safe and effective both for human and for veterinary use. Although the drug can eliminate infection in both humans and cats, its use in humans will have vey little impact on overall prevalence of human toxoplasmosis. Its use in cats, alternatively, could, at least in theory, reduce prevalence in both humans and cats. Explain this difference.arrow_forwardQ3) More than a century ago, Robert Koch realized that to prove the germ theory of disease, he would have to develop a standard for determining causation that would stand the test of scientific scrutiny.
