c. parasites, pandemic, increase surveillance.
d. bacteria, pandemic, develop new antibiotics.
e. bacteria, local epidemic, develop new antibiotics.
f. parasites, local epidemic, develop new diagnostics.
First line drugs to treat TB have been in use for at least 50 years.
One effective drug is Rifampin.
It targets the following process in Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive strains.
Select one:
a. General metabolism
b. Protein synthesis
c. Cell wall synthesis
d. DNA synthesis
e. RNA synthesis

a. Latent infections are common.
b. All of the choices.
c. Mycobacterium tuberculosis use multiple evasion mechanisms to establish disease.
d. Containment of the pathogen is mediated by granulomas.
e. Persistent cells play an important role.
Most Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections are _______________, with the organisms protected within a structure called a ______________.
Select one:
a. latent, granuloma.
b. active, lung abscess.
c. latent, lung abscess.
d. active, granuloma.
e. None of the choices.
Climate change could impact the emergence of new infectious disease through the
following mechanisms:
Select one:
a. None of the choices.
b. All of the choices.
c. A decrease in wildlife migration.
d. A decrease in large scale weather disturbances.
e. An increase in insect vectors that transmit disease.
Animal disease that can be transmitted to humans is termed:
Select one:
a. Enzootic
b. Zoonotic
c. Panzootic
d. None of the choices.
e. Epizootic
Explanation / Answer
1. The majority of newly emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic infections caused by viruses and result in local epidemic disease. The most effective way to control newly emerging infectious disease is to increase surveillance.
2. Rifampicin inhibits RNA synthesis in Mycobacteria.
The DNA dependent RNA polymerase is targetted by Rifampicin.
3. Most Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections are latent, with the organisms protected within a structure called a granuloma.
Granuloma is a mass of tissue produced in response to infection which mainly contains gaint cells. Mycobacterium lies latent in the granuloma.
4.Climate change could impact the emergence of new infectious disease through An increase in insect vectors that transmit disease.
5. Animal disease that can be transmitted to humans is termed zoonotic disease.
