Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 17PS
Interpreting Data The graph shows the number of cases per week of Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya virus in Puerto Rico during the period from November 1, 2015 to April 14, 2016. The same mosquitoes spread all three viruses. Did all three diseases show a similar pattern during this time period? Explain.

Zika virus infection, a zoonotic disease, produced somewhat sizable outbreaks recently in certain areas of Central America, but not in the U.S (although there were some infected individuals uncovered in the U.S.). Provide two plausible explanations for this dichotomy, and explain
The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.
The first EVD outbreaks occurred in remote villages in Central Africa, near tropical rainforests. The 2014–2016 outbreak in West Africa was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976. There were more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It also spread between countries, starting in Guinea then moving across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia.
It is thought that fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are natural Ebola virus hosts."
According to the description above and your understanding of the course content (terminology) on dynamics of disease transmission, identify the incorrect statement.
a.
EVD can start as a common source, and thereafter become a propagated epidemic
b.
EVD is usually transmitted as an airborne infection
c.
EVD is a zoonotic infection
d.
EVD is…
