- What are the two main questions this talk is looking at?
- What are the three modes of transmission Dr Ewald isconsidering?
- Which one(s) DO NOT rely on a healthy host?
- As the reliance on waterborne transmission increases (x-axis)the mortality (y-axis) ___________ increases / decreases
- Which disease does he consider first?
- How does the microbe V.cholerae cause the disease (i.ewhat are its virulence factors)?
- Match the country to the level of water protection they have.
- Peru High
- Ecuador Low
- Chile Medium
- In which country would you expect evolution towards a ‘moretoxic’ cholera?
- In which country would you expect evolution towards a more mildcholera?
- What are the two section pressures Dr Ewald isconsidering?
- New vaccination
- Protected water supplies / transmission method
- Antibiotic exposure
- Microbial antagonism
- Increased virulence ___________________ the selection pressurefor antibiotic resistance. Increases / decreases
- Does the data show evolution towards increased antibioticresistance in more virulent strains?
Y or N
- How can we try to get malaria to evolve towards a more mildstrain?
- Mosquito proof houses and hospitals
- Clean up water supplies
- Vaccinate
- Why would ONLY mild varieties be transmitted?
- Healthy enough to walk outside and be bitten
- Sick people stay in mosquito proof houses
- All of above
- How many people in the ‘study site’ of Northern Alabama wereinfected with malaria?
- Did mosquito proofing houses work? Y or N
- Where might this work to eradicate malaria? Circle all thatapply
- Low biting densities
- Fringe of malarial zone
- High biting densities
- Where might this favour evolution towards mildness?
- Low biting densities
- Fringe of malarial zone
- High biting densities
