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.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Interference with viral replication".

Explanation:

The complement system is an essential part of the immune system that involves the activation of a series of proteins that act as a cascade and result in the development of inflammatory responses that help to fight infections. There are multiple effects of complement activation, however interference with viral replication is not one of them. The molecules that are able to interfere with viral replication are called interferons, and they synthesis and activation are not related with complement activation.
