Example: Three birds loved to eat beetles especially the green (female) and the brown (male). But their favorites are the green beetles. Generations later, green beetles have been selected and brown beetles have increased in number. - What do you think will happen if a disease was introduced and invaded the species living in an ecosystem?

You are trying to develop a new anti-termite chemical that will not harm environmentally beneficial insects. Because termites are adapted to eat only wood, they will starve if they cannot digest this food source. Termites have two symbiotic partners: the protozoan Trichonympha collaris and the bacteria it harbors that actually produce the enzyme that digests the wood. Knowing this, how might you prevent termite infestations without targeting the termites directly?
Malaria is a disease in humans caused by infection with a protist, a eukaryotic organism. What describes the interaction between humans and the organism causing malaria? 1.Predation2. Parasitism3. Commensalism4. Mutualism
Many fish purchased and consumed by humans are bred and raised in fish farms. The fish on a farm can be infected by parasites called sea lice, which are small crustaceans that feed on a fish's blood and skin, which may injure or even kill the fish. Jansen and colleagues (2012) analyzed sea lice infections on trout and salmon farms. Fish farms provided data on the numbers of sea lice found on their captive fish. The scientists compared the number of sea lice with the "local farmed fish biomass density," which is a measure of population density that accounts for both the number and biomass (or size) of fish on a farm. Other research has also found a relationship between sea lice infestation and mortality. From this figure and information, how does density of fish on a farm affect the number of sea lice per fish? What type of factor is regulating the size of farmed fish populations and population growth? 100 200 300 400 Local farmed fish biomass density (metric tons) 3. 2. Sea lice counts
Invent a science fiction, imaginary macroparasite that lives in lemurs. Describe basic information related like it's life cycle, vectors, biotic & abiotic factors, how the macroparasite lives within the ecosystem and how it can spread to humans.
Select all the statements that are true regarding the drug treatments available for infectious diseases.□ Antiviral drugs are harder to develop than antibiotics because viruses must use our cellular machinery replicate. □ Very few anti-parasitic drugs exist because diseases caused by Eukaryotes are extremely rare all over the world.□ Fewer drugs are available to treat Eukaryotic pathogens because their physiology and functions are very similar to our own.□ Development of antiparasitic drugs are a low priority because the diseases they treat tend to occur in poor countries, and drug companies can't make money.□ Antivirals may quit working because rates of viral mutation are very high.□ There are more antiviral drugs than atibiotics because antiviral drugs are very easy and cheap to make.
Which of the following statements are correct? * Extended trade territories, increased travels as well as effects on ecosystems due to increased human population raised the emergence and spread of infectious diseases leading to higher risks pandemics. Epidemics that become unusually widespread and even global is referred to as a pandemic. Major pandemics that have afflicted humankind throughout history include those caused by plague, cholera, influenza and coronavirus diseases Because of the lessons learned in the control and management of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, pandemics will occur less frequently in the future.

Arthropods are a major area of human health. This is because they can do which of the following things? Pick all the correct answers. A. They can cause areas of necrosis or allergic reactions due to bites and stings. B. They can be biological vectors. C. They can be mechanical vectors. D. They can be parasites.
The bacteria that cause plague, Yersinia pestis, maintain their existence in a cycle involving rodents and their fleas. In urban areas or places with dense rat infestations, the plague bacteria can cycle between rats and their fleas. The last urban outbreak of rat-associated plague in the United States occurred in Los Angeles in 1924-1925. Plague bacteria are most often transmitted by the bite of an infected flea. Plague-infected fleas usually bite rates or mice, but dogs and cats may also bring infected fleas into the home. Question: who is the host and who is the agent?
Several kinds of symbiotic relationships involve a fungus and a photoautotroph. Give two different examples of this kind of relationship. For the two examples, you choose, explain whether each relationship is parasitism, commensalism, or mutualism. Are either of the species interactions in either of your two examples beneficial for or detrimental to humans? Explain.
