One explanation could be the differences in climate (environmental factors). The climate in northern Mexico could support the reproduction of the mosquito species, which is a vector of the dengue virus.   Other environmental conditions that influence its endemicity could include living conditions and sanitation. The other possiblity could be that the people in the US have developed immunity for the disease, therefore, are unaffected even when infected by the virus.

The part of the eye that prevent light from reflecting internally and is heavily vascularized to deliver blood to the retina:___
Ne4ueva [31]

The part of the eye that prevent light from reflecting internally and is heavily vascularized to deliver blood to the retina: choroid.

<h3>What is choroid?</h3>

The choroid is highly vascularized to provide blood to the retina and contains dark pigmentation to stop light from reflecting inside. Anteriorly, the choroid, ciliary body, and iris are all joined.. The ciliary body muscles regulate the lens's thickness. The iris acts as a diaphragm, changing the pupil's aperture at its center. This regulates how much light is allowed to enter the retina. In strong light, the iris' muscle fibers constrict the pupil to accommodate close vision; in low light, they enlarge it to accommodate far vision. Each individual's iris is a different color.

How do you think that wearing personal protective equipment helps to protect us from contracting airborne diseases?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Airborne transmission may occur if patient respiratory activity or medical procedures generate respiratory aerosols. These aerosols contain particles that may travel much longer distances and remain airborne longer, but their infective potential is uncertain. Contact, droplet and airborne transmission are each relevant during airway manoeuvres in infected patients, particularly during tracheal intubation.

Mode of action of aldehydes and Quaternary ammonium compounds is
natulia [17]

Answer:

Aldehydes have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and sporicidal activity. These are helpful to destroy the spores of Bacillus subtilis and Clostridium sporogenes. Glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde are commonly used aldehydes in disinfectants.

Quaternary ammonium compounds work by denaturing the proteins of the bacterial or fungal cell, affecting the metabolic reactions of the cell and causing vital substances to leak out of the cell, causing death.

BARSIC [14]
In the question stated above, it is very likely that the patient is facing receptive or sensory issues. This is clear when he mistakes one stimulus for another. This might be because he sees one thing but can not distinguish it for another, or he's having problems differentiating one tactile stimulus for another. Either way, the system compromised is the patient's sensory system.
