2. The data show that certain animals could replicate the virus without succumbing to it. What other capacity must your suspected host species possess to truly act as the Ebola reservoir host?

Expert Solution

Ans (2).Ebola virus is animal borne(zoonotic) pathogen, and that bats are most likely natural reservoir.

The reservoir host stay intact with infected animals rarely showing symptoms of disease.But sometimes they leak, letting a virus infect new, much more vulnerable species. This is almost certainly what happened with the ongoing ebola outbreak.m equisitely suitable hosts of viruses.

Some bats are sometimes in contact with the virus and experience waves of exposure during outbreaks. Some bat cannot excrete virus or they could transmit viruses to other host.

The ability of Bat to echolocate(virus susceptibility) make them equisitely suitable hosts of viruses.

Bats are being increasingly recognised as reservoir host of viruses which can cross species barrier( spill over) to infect humans and other mammals.

A study analysed data on all suspected cases of a new virus in a certain city within the past month. The analysis collected data on whether the suspected cases have worn a mask in the past month prior to the test for the new virus and the corresponding test results. The data are then summarised as follows: Test Result Positive Negative Total Not Wearing Mask 105 175 280 Wearing Mask 20 575 595 Total 125 750   875 (a) Using a...

1) What were the first animals like? 2) Compare the diversification of plants and animals. When do major body plans appear in these groups (for animals, think different phyla, and for plants, think algae/land plants/vascular plants/seed plants/angiosperms) and over how long a period of time do new plans appear)? 3) Why is bilateral symmetry strongly associated with cephalization, the concentration of the sense organs in an anterior ahead?
