In the last two decades, several vector-borne diseases have emerged as major causes of human morbidity and mortality. All four serotypes of Dengue virus have emerged in Central and South America and in the Caribbean. Chikungunya has re-emerged on the Indian sub-continent and Japanese encephalitis has been seen for the first time in India and Pakistan. In the last decade, the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis has increased dramatically in Russia, eastern and central Europe and yellow fever has emerged in...

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. Malaria is a disease caused by parasitic protists in the genus Plasmodium. The parasite is transmitted to humans by female Anopheles mosquitoes. The Plasmodium parasite feeds on human red blood cells, eventually destroying them. Humans infected with malaria can exhibit many symptoms. Depending on the severity of the infection, these can range from fever, chills, sweating, and headaches to anemia and kidney failure. Ultimately, malaria can result in death. However, if...
