epidemic describes a disease that's widespread.

Question 35

Autochthonous

Answer 35

locally transmitted by mosquitoes. Differentiated from imported, congenital, or blood-borne malaria.

Question 36

Who are susectiple to the westnile virus

Answer 36

In addition to humans, equines and corvid birds are particularly susceptible to the virus.

Question 37

Who are the reservoir host for the West Nile Virus ?

Answer 37

Vertebrate reservoir hosts of WNV are mainly wild birds, with most of the species displaying no clinical signs after infection (Malkinson and Banet 2002). Migratory birds seem to play a particular role in virus transportation over long distances, for example, from Africa to the European continent (Rappole et al. 2000).

Question 38

Which of the aedes Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus is limited by its cold intolerance?

Answer 38

Aedes Albopictus

Question 39

Who many types of dengue can be transmitted? What are the called?

Answer 39

3, classical dengue, | dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome

Question 40

Classical dengue occurs in most cases of infection when a host undergoes a primary infection with DENV. It is asymptomatic or causes a self-limited febrile syndrome with undifferentiated symptoms such as the sudden onset of fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, retroorbital pain and rash, accompanied by severe joint and muscle pain (“breakbone fever”). In some cases, usually after a second DENV infection with another serotype (Halstead 1980), classical dengue proceeds as dengue haemorrhagic fever

Question 41

Yellow fever indeed is a disease of what area?

Answer 41

tropics and subtropics

Question 42

_____ being the principal vector of | the causative agent, yellow fever virus

Answer 42

Ae. aegypt

Question 43

``` The virus had most likely been introduced by a viremic person from India who infected the established Ae. albopictus population, thus starting a local mosquito–human–mosquito transmission cycle (Rezza et al. 2007). More recently, two autochthonous cases of chikungunya were reported from southern France (Gould et al. 2010; Grandadam et al. 2011) ```

Question 44

CHIKV is transmitted primarily by ___

Answer 44

A. aegypt & A. albopictus

Question 45

Mosquitoes have inhabited the globe for more than 100 million years, long before Homo sapiens occurred on Earth. In the course of evolution, they were able to adjust their biology to a great variety of ecological conditions and reproduce in almost all aquatic habitats. Without the support of Homo sapiens, mosquitoes disperse passively by wind drift (up to !25 km) or by active flight usually limited to

Question 46

However, present-day human activities enable mosquitoes to be transported from one continent to another within a matter of hours to a few days. Increased transcontinental mobility of humans as well as the international trade, facilitate the dispersal and in some cases, the establishment of exotic mosquito species in other countries with favorable climatic conditions. The most remarkable ability of these species is that the eggs can survive desiccation and dryness for months or sometimes even years and can thus survive long periods with unfavorable living conditions

Question 47

This ensures that e.g. eggs can survive in used tires or other small containers when these are shipped and consequently increase the probability of successful transport. In general, these species possess a high ecological potency and can rapidly adapt to new habitats due to their genetic plasticity. Within the about 30 species known to have established in new areas throughout theworld, 3 species merit special recognition for their dispersal potential and also for their significance as vectors of human diseases: Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus 1762), Ae. (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse 1895) and Ochlerotatus (Finlaya) japonicus (Theobald 1901). In this chapter the taxonomy, biology, distribution and medical importance of the most successful invasive species are discussed, namely Aedes aegypti, Aedes. albopictus,
