You have been studying Malaria as a Futura Science Intern. You have learned that an internship ... (Check all that apply)

• may or may not pay the intern a salary.

• is an opportunity that enables students to gain experience in a professional work environment.

• is a short-cut to fame, riches and prestige.

• is another word for prison sentence.

Malaria is transmitted by

• biting fleas.

• a tapeworm.

• mosquitos.

• vampire bats.

In your proposal you had to consider three criteria your boss, Mr Tapaha discussed with you include:

• Maximize profits

• Minimize Patient side effects

• Minimize Drug Resistance

• Minimize Cost

Standards by which something may be judged are

• criteria.

• random.

• negotiable.

• up to you.

An organism that lives in or on another organism and causes it harm is called a

• symbiote

• enabler

• parasite

• sycophant

An important part of scientists' and engineers' work is trying to understand the causes that lead to observable effects (such as developing the malaria illness.)

• True

• False

Malaria is a vector-borne disease which means that

• it is carried through the air in spores.

• transmitted by bacteria in the water.

• is transferred from parent to offspring through genetics.

• is carried from one animal to another by means of a traveling host.

The most common disease in humans transmitted by mosquito is

• dengue fever.

• yellow fever.

• malaria.

• heart-worm.

The death RATE of a disease is calculated by which formula?

• (Number of cases/Number of deaths)

• (Number of Deaths/Number of cases)

• The number of cases minus the number of deaths

• None of these ridiculous answers!

According to the data in this graph, which disease is most prevalent (happens the most?)

• Yellow Fever

• Dengue Fever

• Malaria

• Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever
