Mosquito Public Health

The definition of a disease is any departure
from ... ... By this definition, a
broken leg, a vitamin deficiency, an
allergic reaction, and an infection are all
diseases.

Some people and animals become _ to mosquito bites as a result of repeated exposure to their _

Hypersensitivity can occur in people that work in mosquito control or mosquito research through constant _ or _ contact
with mosquitoes, or even with just their
_ _

Hypersensitive reactions are
_ reactions

_ _ occur when microbial
organisms present on the skin of an
individual enter the wound created by a
mosquito _

A secondary infection often occurs as a
result of _ the mosquito bite

_ _ , a viral disease, has virtually disappeared from the USA because of the
availability of an extremely effective _ , which may provide lifelong
protection from just a single dose.

availability of the _ _ vaccine is limited on a worldwide basis and many unvaccinated people live in areas where it is common

This species is a common vector of Yellow fever

Yellow fever is an _ _ disease. There is no _ , and in humans,
is commonly _.

This species is common in urban and suburban areas

Aedes aegypti larvae occur in
many kinds of water-filled _ _  such as shallow wells, water urns,
discarded containers, and tires.

Dengue, caused by multiple _ of the dengue virus, is transmitted mostly by the _ _ mosquito

_ is considered second in importance only to malaria among mosquito-borne diseases.

The increase in _ _ _ has caused an increase in the number of viral strains causing dengue and the increase in the number of cases of a particularly serious form of the disease called dengue _ _ .

_ _ _ is most serious in children and is a
significant cause of mortality

The interactions between mosquito hosts and the _ they transmit are
highly _

Three basic types of transmission mechanisms are involved _ , _ , _-_

Propagative transmission : the pathogen _ within the mosquito but does not undergo any changes in _ form

Developmental transmission : the pathogen undergoes _ changes, but does not _

Propagative-developmental transmission : the pathogen _ and undergoes changes in _ forms

Transmission of _ is an example of propagative transmission.

Transmission of arbovirus = the
_ is taken up by a female mosquito from a viremic host during blood
feeding, _ many times, and eventually infects the _ _ of the host.

Transmission of arbovirus = when the female mosquito takes another _ _ , she may infect a new host by injection of _.

_ _ are transmitted by mosquitoes by _ transmission.

The life cycle of
the malaria parasite is very _

The only example of _ transmission by insects is that of _ worms.

In California, the _ _ is
transmitted via developmental transmission.

_ transmission occurs when a female mosquito transmits a pathogen to her eggs prior to oviposition.

____  is the ratio of infections
that do not produce clinical _
to those that do.

The inapparent to apparent disease ratio is estimated by _ studies, and is affected by things like the degree of _ in a human population.

Most _ that result in human diseases have a very _ ratio, usually from 1:100 to 1:1,000

for every person infected with a pathogen only 1 in 100 or 1 in 1,000 developed _ _

A feeling of unhealthiness that can be
expressed by a person.
