- A patient consulted a doctor because of complaints of general weakness, pain in bowels, indigestion. The intestinal infection caused by Protozoa was suspected as a result of laboratory analysis. The intestinal pathogens usually transmitted through the contaminated food, water, hand. They can also be transmitted with the mechanical vectors. There are mechanical and biological vectors of disease pathogens among insects. Mechanical vectors of protozoan diseases are: Select one: a. Glossina palpalis. O b. Wohlfahrtia magnifica. c. Musca domestica. d. Phlebotomus papatasii. e. Pulex irritans.arrow_forwardHere are four toxins: diphtheria toxin, cholera toxin, tetanus toxin, and exfoliative toxin. Choose two of them and answer the following questions: 1. Is it an exotoxin or an endotoxin? 2. Which bacterial species produces it? 3. Briefly describe its mode of action and how it causes damage to the host cells. Include specific signs and symptoms.arrow_forwardPlasmodium is the most deadly parasite globally. There are nearly 250 million new cases of malaria diagnosed each year. Discuss at least two mechanisms that this parasite uses within its host(s) to persist, manipulate, and/or propogate.arrow_forward

( Only pick one answer per [ ] ) ["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when two organisms both benefit from a relationship. One example of this you will view is lab is ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] . ["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits, while the second organism is not harmed, and does not benefit. ["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits while the second organism is harmed. In lab you will explore ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] as an example of this relationship.arrow_forwardExplain what it means to be an obligate intracellular parasite.Name three groups of obligate intracellular parasites.arrow_forward

- Use this information to anwer the question: Babesia microti is a red cell parasite that is endemic in the Northeastern and upper Midwestern regions of the US and responsible for the disease referred to as babesiosis. The parasite is most often transmitted by the bite of a deer tick but may also be transmitted by blood. Infection may be asymptomatic or cause non-specific symptoms: fever, fatigue, headache and muscle pain, or in some cases severe disease in those with a compromised immune system, hemoglobin-related diseases (such as sickle cell disease) or those lacking a spleen. The Red Cross began blood donation screening under an investigational protocol in June 2012 in the New England area and upper Midwest. Donors who consented for investigational screening were tested by two tests: an individual donation NAT assay (polymerase chain reaction, PCR) and an antibody assay, the latter using an automated indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Reactive donations were further tested by…arrow_forwardAssuming you have been posted to a community where malaria is very endemic. There is a high rate of absenteeism among your students due to incidents of malaria. As part of your community engagement explain how you would educate on malaria prevention taking the following into consideration:a) Name of the vector and the species of the parasite that cause the diseases in Africa; b) Two chemical and two biological ways of reducing the population of mosquitoes; c) Two in-house measures to prevent mosquitoes bite;d) The stages in the life cycle of the mosquito;e) The names of three African countries that participated in the trial of malarial vaccine.arrow_forwardAnswer the question about Helminth diseases: Epidemiological statistics: the current prevalence (at least in the US, worldwide preferred) of the disease, how many people are infected, how many people catch it every year, the fatality rate (if any), etc How do you prevent the diseasearrow_forward
