Summary Introduction
To explain:
How the (syphilis) patients infected with the malarial
Introduction:
The microbe Treponema pallidum is the infectious agent of the disease syphilis. Despite several efforts that have been made for centuries, the scientists failed to provide the culture conditions in a laboratory required by the bacterium. This bacterium requires host cell for its growth and survival. Therefore, this bacterium can be grown only in the living cells (rabbit) and cannot be cultured in the laboratory. Most of the microbes have never been grown in any culture media.

Which of the following is NOT true about human plague (Yersinia pestis infection)?
Which option is the answer?
1. None of the other four answers (All are true about human plague)
2. Infected fleas’ gastrointestinal tract is blocked by Y. pestis growth, causing them to regurgitate and infect a new host when they bite
3. Painful swollen lymph nodes are called “buboes”
4. Usually acquired in the US from bites of fleas that have fed on infected urban rats
5. Yersinia pestis infection of lymph nodes can sometimes spread to the lungs, causing secondary pneumonic plague
People with AIDS are vulnerable to toxoplasmosis caused by theprotozoan Toxoplasma gondii, resulting in infection of lungs, liver,heart, and brain, and often leading to death. About 25% of the world’s population is infected, usually without developing symptoms. Why then are people with AIDS so susceptible to this disease?

Group of answer choices
A) This person got this disease by being bitten by a mosquito
B) The patient is probably infected with the spirochete Borrella burgdorferi

- 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_forwardEven though genetically engineered mosquitoes might be developed that do not allow the reproduction of malaria protozoa, these mosquitoes would have little, if any, immediate effect on the spread of the disease. Why should this be so? What would have to happen for these mosquitoes to significantly affect the spread of malaria?arrow_forwardAnswer the questions with answers onlyarrow_forward
