Question
Chapter 21, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Why it is more difficult to clear a community of a disease transmitted by arthropods such as Lyme disease than a disease transmitted by contaminated drinking water such as cholera.
Introduction:
The disease is mainly caused due to the transmission of pathogens to the human body. Arthropod acts as a vector for causing serious diseases such as Lyme, malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever. Arthropods can cause direct or indirect injury to human such as biting, stinging and failure of sensory organs. Contaminated water contains living organisms such as algae, bacteria, protozoan or viruses which have harmful effects on health.

Assuming you have been posted to a community where malaria is very endemic. There is a high rate of absenteeism among your students due to incidents of malaria. As part of your community engagement explain how you would educate on malaria prevention taking the following into consideration:a) Name of the vector and the species of the parasite that cause the diseases in Africa; b) Two chemical and two biological ways of reducing the population of mosquitoes; c) Two in-house measures to prevent mosquitoes bite;d) The stages in the life cycle of the mosquito;e) The names of three African countries that participated in the trial of malarial vaccine.
Match the following examples to the appropriate type of symbiosis.
- A microbe that lives inside the large intestine of a human, getting food from its host and protecting the host from disease
a) Not a symbiosis
b)parasitism
c)commensalism
d) mutualism
-An insect that builds protected nests in trees, but does not help or damage the tree
a) Not a symbiosis
b)parasitism
c)commensalism
d) mutualism
-A lamprey that attaches to other fish and sucks their blood throughout their life
a) Not a symbiosis
b)parasitism
c)commensalism
d) mutualism
- A robin that eats worms out of the ground
a) Not a symbiosis
b)parasitism
c)commensalism
d) mutualism
Below are statements about symbiosis. Choose the correct responses. ( Only pick one answer per [ ] )
["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when two organisms both benefit from a relationship. One example of this you will view is lab is ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] .
["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits, while the second organism is not harmed, and does not benefit.
["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits while the second organism is harmed. In lab you will explore ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] as an example of this relationship.
