Capitolo 25, Problema 7
If mosquitoes were eradicated from an area, which of the following diseases would be most affected?
a. Mumps
b. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
c. Hepatitis E
d. Breakbone fever
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the mode of transmission for each disease listed in the options.
Recall that mosquitoes are vectors for certain diseases, meaning they transmit the pathogen from one host to another.
Understand that Mumps is a viral infection spread primarily through respiratory droplets, not by mosquitoes.
Recognize that Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is transmitted through contact with rodent droppings, not mosquitoes.
Know that Breakbone fever, also known as Dengue fever, is transmitted by mosquitoes, specifically the Aedes species, so its incidence would be most affected if mosquitoes were eradicated.
