Cholera is a disease that causes intense diarrhea and can be fatal. At the time, many people believed that diseases were caused by “bad air.” John Snow had another idea; he thought that cholera was caused by something in the environment where people lived.

During the course of infection, HIV increases immune activation by altering intestinal physiology to let more microbes into the blood supply. b.

In many individuals the virus population evolves to use different receptors to gain access to a greater diversity of host immune cells. d. HIV causes enhanced replication and proliferation of T cells, which allows the immune system to work better at defending against pathogens.arrow_forward
