Over 30 children younger than three years of age developed gastroenteritis after visiting a local water park. These cases repres

ented 44% of the park visitors in this age group on the day in question. No older individuals were affected. The causative agent was determined to be a member of the bacterial genus Shigella. The disease resulted from oral transmission to the children. Based only on the information given, can you classify this outbreak as an epidemic? Why or why not? If you were an epidemiologist, how would you go about determining which pools in the water park were contaminated?

Answer:

No this is not an outbreak

Explanation:

No it cannot be classified as outbreak because an outbreak is when the number of affected individuals in an epidemic is much higher as compared to the estimated values. However, an epidemic is the one that affects the people around different countries of the globe.

This can be considered as endemic that is restricted to a certain set of people in a community

I would have studied pattern of movement of affected kids. The common pool to which all these kids visited can be the infectious one. Also one can test the pathogen in infected kinds, and look for similar pathogen in pool water through testing.

Research and identify a vestigial structure of an organism of your choosing.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The one of best example would be appendix in humans.

Explanation:

In the past, the appendix may have helped in the digestion of the plants by producing mucus and prevent any type of infection. Plants with a high content of cellulose are digested with the help of the appendix as reported.

It is not a part of the human digestive system and considers as a vestigial organ. Vestigial organs are the organs that are present in an organism with no particular function and their removal will not lead to any harm. Humans do not need it because our digestive system is more efficient and works better in the first stages of digestion than they used to.

Thus, the correct answer is - appendix in humans.

How do the structures in an organism relate to their functions?
finlep [7]

The study of the relationship between structures and functions is at the very heart of biology. This relationship is expressed in living beings by the adaptation of the first to the second and poses a series of absolutely fundamental problems, such as the relationship between causality and finality, analogy and homology, structural improvement and evolutionary level, etc.

For example, the structure of the hand is related to its function, thanks to the fingers and the thumb it is easy to wear and store objects.

The zigzag structure of the intestine is related to its absorption function, as this makes it possible to increase the contact surface between the alimentary bolus and the intestinal wall, and thus to increase the absorption.
