Chapter 23, Problem 2TMW
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason behind why insect-vectored diseases spread more in larger geographical area than arachnid borne diseases.
Introduction:
Insect vectored diseases are the diseases which spread by the insects like mosquitoes. These vectors spread various infectious diseases like malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. Arachnid is the group of arthropod which includes spiders and long-legged insects, it contains all eight legs insects.

Students have asked these similar questions
Compare parasitism and mutualism for the two factors (A and B) below.
A) What distinguishes these two strategies from the other strategies for interaction?
B) What is the long-term benefit to the micro-symbiont as far as access to a new host?
C) What is the cost (e.g. DNA that needs to be maintained)?
Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship, where the parasite (symbiont) obtains nutrients from its host.
1) Contrast endoparasitism and ectoparasitism.
2) Describe one invertebrate endoparasite you find interesting and identify its definitive host (and any intermediate hosts).
3) Describe one invertebrate ectoparasite you find interesting and identify its definitive host (and any intermediate hosts).
What is meant by “Heritable Symbiont Transmission”? Does it mean the same thing as “Maternal Transmission”?
