Here is a hypothetical situation: An area of the country has received a record amount of rainfall this year coupled with a mild

winter and a warm spring and summer. As a result the mosquito population is exceptionally high. Mosquitoes are not pathogens to humans. However, mosquitoes can greatly affect the rate of infection for several types of human pathogens. Pick and describe two pathogens that you should expect to see at higher frequency because of this booming mosquito population.

Answer:

Zika virus and West Nile virus are the two pathogens which causes more diseases due to increase the population of mosquito.

Explanation:

Zika virus belongs to the family of Flaviviridae. Aedes mosquitoes which are active at day time are the carrier of this virus. West Nile virus is also spread through the bite of mosquito. The infected mosquito is the main cause of spreading of this disease. This virus is spreading too fast in the United States of America in the summer season where the population of mosquitoes increases.

Active and passive immunity involves all of the following except receiving mother's antibodies through breast-feeding. exposure
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

Immunity is the ability of an animal to resist infection.

There are two types of immunity in the body; INNATE OR INHERITED IMMUNITY AND ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. Inherited immunity it is the type of immunity that one is born with. It is passed from parent to offspring.

Acquired immunity is immunity to particular infections that is not inherited but has developed in the animal's life as it interacts with its environment. Acquired immunity can develop naturally in which case it is called NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY OR ARTIFICALLY.  

ACTIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its OWN antibodies against infections. While PASSIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which an individual is PROTECTED AGAINST INFECTION BY RECEIVING ANTIBODIES.  

NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY

when attacked by the same pathogens again, they don't became seriously ill. this is because memory cells are able to recognise the antigens and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the pathogens. This is known as NATURAL ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. It develops when one recovers from an infection.

During pregnancy, the mother passes antibodies across the placenta to the foetus. At birth the baby gets antibodies from the mother through breast milk. This is natural passive acquired immunity.

Exocytosis is a process that helps in transport secretory products to the plasma membrane through the cytoplasm in a cell. In this process, the materials are transported out of the cell with the help of vesicles.

Some of the examples of the exocytosis are the secretion of the enzymes, proteins, peptide hormones and antibodies from the cell linings of the stomach that help in the digestive process.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. exocytosis.

Genrish500 [490]
