In 2016, 600 individuals became infected with the dengue virus in a town of 60,000 people in Brazil. Out of those infected, 50 people died. The total number of deaths in the year from all causes was 110 individuals. (Please calculate all of these answers in percentages) What is the Proportionate Mortality Rate (PMR) of dengue in this population? 0.083% 1% 8.33% 45.45%

Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the Proportionate Mortality Rate (PMR) of dengue in this population by using the formula: \[ PMR = \frac{Specific\,Deaths}{Total\,Deaths} \times 100\% \] Show more…

This figure below shows locations where cases of Dengue fever are increasing. Dengue fever is caused by a virus transmitted by Aedes genus mosquitoes. Warmer temperatures and increased precipitation both influence populations of Aedes mosquitoes. Which of the following statements represents the best prediction for future outbreaks of Dengue fever? a. Aedes mosquitoes and Dengue fever will become extinct as both temperature and precipitation decrease in tropical regions. b. Dengue fever outbreaks will remain restricted to a few locations because mosquitoes are unable to expand their range. c. Humans will become immune to Dengue fever as more individuals are exposed to the virus. d. Climate change will lead to Dengue fever outbreaks in once-temperate areas north and south of the sites of current outbreaks.

3. During 2018, 23 cases of malaria occurred in a district with a stable population of 6,500 persons. The distribution of the malaria cases during the calendar year was: first quarter, 2; second quarter, 1; third quarter, 4; and the fourth quarter, 16. 3.1 What was the incidence of malaria per 100,000 persons in that district during that year? a. 3.5 b. 35.4 c. 282.6 d. 353.8 e. 3538.5 3.2 What was the incidence per 10,000 population during the second quarter? a. 0.9 b. 1.5 c. 6.2 d. 153.8 e. 1538.5 3.3 What was the incidence per 10,000 population during the fourth quarter? a. 0.25 b. 1.5 c. 2.4 d. 9.2 e. 24.6

Rate of Flu Infection In a town of 5000 people the daily rate of infection with a flu virus varies directly with the product of the number of people who have been infected and the number of people not infected. When 1000 people have been infected, the flu is spreading at a rate of 40 new cases per day. For what number of people infected is the daily rate of infection at its maximum?
