- Describe the different ways a disease can be transmitted? What impact do we have as human that can support the control of transmission? What tactics, skills and/or techniques will you implement going forward to help control the transmission of microbes in your daily life?arrow_forwardBelow are a list of virulence factors/ strategies paired with an example of an organism that utilizes them. How do each of the following strategies contribute to the virulence of the pathogen? Strategy - Causes the host to produce more receptors (Organism - Rhinovirus) Strategy - Produces gas as a product of fermentation (Organism - Clostridium perfringens) Strategy - Produces a capsule (organism - Klebsiella pneumonia) Strategy - Ability to move between adjacent cells (organism - Cytomegalovirus) Strategy - Ability to use pilus as a motility structure (organism - Pseudomonas aerogenosa)arrow_forwardName the most important control measure for preventing person-to-person transmission of a disease.arrow_forward
- Explain how pathogens can be responsible for more than one different human diseases using 3 different microbes as examplesarrow_forwardDescribe the ways in which each of the following pathogens can disarm their host’s immune system or manipulate it to their own advantage:a. Pathogenic strains of Staphylococcusb. Enveloped virusesarrow_forwardWhat factors determine the outcome of most host-pathogen relationships?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is true of selective toxicity? O 1) It refers to the process of determining the correct dose of a particular drug O 2) To be effective, an antimicrobial agent must be more toxic to the patient than 2) the pathogen O 3) It contributes to antibiotic resistance O 4) It refers to the body's ability to protect the brain and eye 5) It takes advantage of metabolic and structural differences between host and pathogenarrow_forwardDefine biotrophic pathogenarrow_forwardWhat is epidemiology? there are several ways pathogens can be transmitted including direct contact, indirect contact, via respiratory droplets, vehicle, and through a vector. Describe each mode IN DETAIL and give an example of a pathogen that can be transmitted each way.arrow_forward
- Select all of the following that applies to the tradeoff between transmission and virulence that applies to many diseases. a) The tradeoff between transmission and virulence means that diseases always evolve to become more virulent. b) If greater virulence limits transmission, that disease will likely evolve to become less virulent than it could be. c) While making more copies of itself can increase the likelihood of transmission occurring, too much replication of the disease can make the host so sick it won't leave the house and spread the disease. d) A strain of a disease that replicates enough to be transmitted, but not so much that the host gets too sick to move, will be favored by natural selection over strains that either make the host too sick or do not replicate enough to be transmitted. e) If a disease can spread without making its host sick (e.g. when the host is asymptomatic), then the tradeoff between transmission and virulence…arrow_forwardWhat are two reasons microbes will produce toxins?arrow_forwardIdentify adaptations that have contributed to pathogen success.arrow_forward
