What are the host-related and virulence -related factors associated with Neisseria meninigitidis ? How has the advent of molecular testing advanced the detection of sexually transmitted diseases?

According to the recent malaria report of the Department of Health, Disease and Prevention Bureau (2022), there are 4, 251 confirmed cases of malaria in the Philippines and majority of the cases are due to Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum life cycle includes gametocytes that will aid the parasite to reproduce sexually in its anopheline vectors. Examine Figure 2 below. Provide three (3) qualitative descriptions of the P. falciparum gametocyte. Write your answers in a complete sentence. Fig. 2.. Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte in thin blood smear (CDC, 2022)

Which of the following statements is correct?   a. Serial interval is the length of time a person can transmit or shed an infectious agent   b. Contamination of the drinking water source of a community by infectious agent(s) will likely result in a continuous common source epidemic   c. It is not possible for people who have not shown symptoms of measles yet, to transmit measles infection   d. Mary Mallon was a chronic carrier of Vibrio cholerae

What health problem is associated with the organismGonyaulax?

According to the natural history of disease model, the time before the precursors of disease and the host interact is called the period of:   A. Prepathogenesis   B. Pathogenesis   C. Primogenesis   D. B and C

The vertical transmission of certain communicable diseases from mother-to-child during pregnancy and birth is of great concern to public health practitioners because it represents a critical period for intervention. If practitioners can determine at birth whether the disease has been transmitted from mother-to-child, they can act immediately to provide the child with treatment. Syphilis is a disease with high risk for vertical transmission from mother-to-child. If a child becomes infected and is not treated, there can be negative health outcome such as blindness, deafness, and neurological damage. Inspired by the advent of rapid HIV tests that provide quick results and are minimally invasive, suppose that researchers have been working to develop a similar test that can be used for syphilis. After obtaining appropriate institutional approval and patient consent, the researchers test their rapid syphilis test at several birthing hospitals and compare it to the gold standard laboratory…
