- 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_forwardArmadillos and Leprosy The nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, is the only mammal other than humans known to suffer naturally from leprosy. This mammal is also unique in that pregnant females normally give birth to identical quadruplets. Medical scientists have found D. novemcinctus to be invaluable in the study of curative agents for this disease. Suppose that a scientist has developed a drug (LeproX) that she hopes will cure leprosy in humans. She needs to test the drug first on the nine-banded armadillo to determine the effectiveness and the potential for any deleterious side effects. She exposes sixteen offspring from four litters of armadillos to the disease pathogen. When all sixteen are showing early symptoms of the leprosy, the scientist randomly divides the sixteen into two groups of eight. Each group contains two sets of four identical quadruplets. One group of eight individuals (experiment group) is treated by intramuscular (IM) injection with 0.5 mg LeproX in…arrow_forwardwhat are examples of zoonotic diseases in our region and what should be done to mitigate resulting impacts to environmental health from the example of zoonotic diseasearrow_forward
