Question
You are in charge of the Miami Dade County Mosquito Control Board's anti-Zika campaign; knowing what you know about the MacDonald Ross Equation and vector capacity, what strategy will you take this coming summer? Spray insecticides indiscriminately all summer long Use larvicides and adulticides early on in the wet season, rotating the use of them to prevent insecticide resistance, advise property owner to remove standing water and increase public awareness about vector borne diseases. Avoid insecticides and rely only on citizens to remove standing water and avoid getting bitten Prevent travelers from infected areas from returning and prevent women from getting pregnant If a genetically modified mosquito were to prevent the development of the infecting pathogen, the MacDonald Ross Equation (VC = ma2bhpn/-rlogep) predicts n would approach 1 n would approach zero VC would approach zero VC would approach infinity. According to the MacDonald Equation, highly effective mosquito vectors likely have High longevity and allow the infecting pathogen to develop quickly Low longevity and allow the infecting pathogen to develop slowly High longevity and high reproductive rate High longevity and and lack anthropophilly Despite the WHO's best efforts to eradicate malaria in the 1950's and 1960s they could not because A lack of research performed in conjunction with the eradication effort Failure to predict the evolution of insecticide resistance Insufficient funding All of the above Answer in 2 sentences: Why is it important to quarantine someone who has been diagnosed with Dengue or Zika? What variable of the MacDonald Equation would this affect? (VC = ma2bhpn/-rlogep) Why can't mosquitoes transmit HIV or HEP C? How would public health policies be different if mosquitoes could transmit HIV?Explanation / Answer
39.
b. Use larvacides and adulticides early on the wet season, rotating the use of them to prevent insecticide resistance, advise property owner to remove standing water and increase public awarness about vector borne diseases.
40.
c. VC would approach zero.
41.
d. High longevity and lack anthropophilly.
42.
b. Failure to predict the evolution of insecticide resistance.
Answer in two sentences:
2. Mosquito can not transmit HIV or HEP C as only saliva is injected into humans when a mosquito bites and thus HIV positive blood that a mosquito may have previously ingested is never transmitted to other humansbbecause HIV is unable to replicate within the mosquito's gut .
