Answer:

True

Explanation:

Arthropods like mice, fleas, lice and ticks are ectoparasites that derive nutrients from their specific hosts. They are also vectors/carriers of the ricketssia bacteria and they transmit this bacteria into their host when they bite them.

Ricketssia disease or infection are induced by a group of bacteria called Ricketssiae, which are similar to viral cells being that they can only survive in living host cells. Ricketssia bacteria can either be the spotted face group or the typhus group depending on the symptoms or kind of infection. Each species of Ricketssia bacteria is host-specific e.g Ricketssia prowazekii is the common cause of typhus in humans.

After a long while of genetic mutations coming and going to adapt to their environment, those three members of the species are no longer the same species because they've all adapted to different environments.

A hospital can demonstrate inclusivity by community engagement through:
astraxan [27]

We knew hospitals as places where people get treatment. We hardly imagine hospitals doing outreach to the community outreach nowadays. Community outreach may improve patient outcomes, which is crucial for the hospital to have access to payer’s reimbursements. One good example is giving outreach to churches, since these institutions often have older and often sicker, individuals. The hospital may directly engage with the church and give health education and smooth transition from hospital to home. The hospital may also embrace social media, or use Twitter to data-mine flu outbreaks in the community.
