Ever wondered why mosquitoes exist? Everyone knows they serve as vectors for many illnesses (malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever to name a few)....but do they serve any "useful" purpose?
Yes, they do!

Paraph... H/W -. 8. The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus causes skin infections commonly called staph infections. One antibiotic that has been used to treat staph infections is methicillin. However, resistance to this antibiotic has become a widespread problem. The graph below shows the percentage of S. aureus strains that have become resistant to methicillin over a 20-years period in the United States. As you may have heard, methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains are called MRSA. Explain these data. Is evolution occurring? If so, propose a hypothesis to explain why S. aureus populations are evolution with regard to antibiotic resistance. Copyright © McGraw-HII Education.

Malaria kills more than 400,000 people a year, mostly children in sub-Saharan Africa. But despite many vaccines being trialled over the years, this is the first to meet the required target. The researchers say this vaccine could have a major public health impact. When trialled in 450 children in Burkina Faso, the vaccine was found to be safe, and showed "high-level efficacy" over 12 months of follow-up. Larger trials in nearly 5,000 children between the ages of five months and three years will now be carried out across four African countries to confirm the findings. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through mosquito bites. Although preventable and curable, the World Health Organization estimates there were 229 million cases worldwide in 2019 and 409,000 deaths.…arrow_forwardIncreasing environmental temperature has which of the following effects on mosquitoes and arthropod borne viruses? a) the extrinsic incubation period of a virus decreases b) the frequency of egg laying by females increases c) the frequency of blood feeding by females increases d) the the frequency of egglaying by females decreases e) the frequency of bloodfeeding by females decreasesarrow_forward
