Are humans a dead end host for streptococcus pneumonia? If yes please explain why. Thank you!

Biology
1 answer:
zlopas [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

No, because Pneumonia can be transferred from one person to another.

Explanation:

Because humans are the only natural host for S. pneumoniae, our data suggest that the CbpA-mediated recruitment of complement FH may contribute to host tropism of this pathogen. A person can spread the germs that cause pneumonia when he or she coughs and expels the bacterial or viral infections that caused the disease. The droplets containing the virus or bacteria can land on a common surface, such as a table, telephone, or computer. Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, it occurs more frequently in infants, young children, the elderly or in people with serious medical conditions such as chronic lung, heart or kidney disease. Others at risk include alcoholics, diabetics, people with weakened immune systems and those without a spleen.

Have the best day ever! :D

Which characteristics can be used to classify the tree as a gymnosperm rather than “any other type of seed” plant?
erica [24]
1. Naked Seeds, Gymnosperm means 'naked seed' and these were the earliest trees to evolve. They do not produce flowers and have seeds which are directly exposed to the air for wind pollination. Pine cones are one example. For ease you might think of the gymnosperms as conifers, such as yew and Scots pine.
