If a disease eliminates the toxic newts from a habitat where the snake, Thamnophis sirtalis lives and if the newts do not subsequently re-colonize this habitat, then TTx resistence in snakes should decrease over time (select all that apply)
- snakes without ttx resistence start making their own ttx.
- snakes emigrate away from this habitat to new habitats where toxic newts liive
- snakes with hiogh ttx resistance are captured more often by predators
- snakes with high ttx resistence are out competed by snakes with low ttx resistence
Sub-Saharan Africa is epicenter of two major pandemics: HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB). Although people living with HIV/AIDS can receive antiretroviral therapy and live many years, they are extremely susceptible to co-‐infections. Even with medication, the combination of HIV/AIDS and TB is often fatal.
In Swaziland, a small country nestled in Southern Africa, the total population in 2010 was only 449,900 people. Of that population, the total number of people living with HIV/AIDS was 33%. In 2010 the total number of deaths in Swaziland was approximately 13,000. In the same year the number of HIV-related deaths was reported as 9,300.
Question:
What was the cause-specific mortality rate from HIV per 1000 people? (round to the nearest whole number)?
What is the proportionate mortality from HIV/AIDS in this population? (give your answer as a percent and round to the nearest whole number)

Group of answer choices The expected return on developing a malaria vaccine is low, given the large pressure any firm would face to make such a vaccine widely available. Though Malaria is widespread, it has a very low mortality rate and has little effect on productivity Governments in malaria afflicted countries actively compete with each other to be the first to develop a malaria vaccine and this competition is counter-productive Malaria is no longer a serious issue, with very small infection ratesarrow_forwardIn a small tropical island population of 10,000 people, 37 people have Malaria.

- Add Numbers 1-9 in order of when the statement is found in the entire malaria life cycle. #1 is already placed. Mosquito bites infected human and becomes infected. The host experiences symptoms of fever and chills. Parasite travels to the liver. Parasite travels through the blood stream and attaches to the red blood cell. 1 Infected mosquito transfers parasite to human. Red blood cells bursts and infects other red blood cells. There is a depletion of oxygen to the body. Parasite reproduces in the liver cells. Parasite reproduces in the red blood cell.arrow_forwardThrough the example of the H5N1 virus, explain how diseases are fast spreading due to globalization and increased movement of people.arrow_forwardDengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is endemic in many tropical areas of the world. Suppose an unseasonably warm spring has led to increased population of mosquitoes and subsequently epidemic levels of DHF infection in Sri Lanka during this year. Under normal circumstances, community X in Sri Lanka has an average of 12 DHF cases per month. Define endemic? Define epidemic?arrow_forward
- Rabies is a disease that can be transmitted between humans and animals. describe at least two human activities that potentially contribute to increased transmission of the Rabies. what the link is between human activity and virus transmission. Are there any specific actions we can take to reduce the risk of disease transmission, either as individuals or through governmental actions/regulations?arrow_forwardAssuming 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.arrow_forwardWhich are true about tick-borne bacterial diseases?
