Read the following article on malaria from Newsday science section: First origin of malaria may have been found. Explain how this article is relevant to the story in The Hot Zone.
This is relevant to the hot zone because in the hot zone the main question wsas how to we contain the virus and how do we destroy it. That is what the article talks about. Also both the book and the article talk about trying to fiqure out where these viruses/diseases started.
3. This article about malaria is relevant to the story in The Hot Zone because the novel also describes the possibility of viruses, including Ebola and HIV, jumping from monkeys to humans. Richard Preston explains how similar Ebola Reston, the Ebola virus only limited to monkeys, was to Ebola Zaire, the most lethal Ebola virus in humans. Preston writes that the viruses were so similar that one had to be specially trained and experienced to tell the difference between the two by looking at photographs of the two that were 17,000 times magnified and even then one couldn't "easily tell the difference between the two strains by looking." He also writes of what a disaster it would be if Ebola Zaire, like Ebola Reston, mutates and becomes air-borne. The author also goes in depth about how AIDS virus may have jumped into the "human race from African primates, from monkeys and anthropoid apes." He writes that HIV-2 may "be a mutant virus that jumped into us from an African monkey know as the sooty mangabey, perhaps when monkey hunters or trappers touched bloody tissue. HIV-1 may have jumped into us from chimpanzees-perhaps when hunters butchered chimpanzees."
3. This article and Hot Zone relate because throughout the book, studies were done on monkeys because we're both primates and many viruses monkeys get, we can get also and be past from them. The article indicates that malaria did not originate from humans, they originated from our species.
3. this article is relevant to the hot zone because the article talks about the origins of the Ebola and HIV like the book. The article talks about how the origins can be traced back to chimpanzees. In the book hot zone The Ebola virus was spread among the monkeys. Both the book and the article talks about the origins of the viruses.
This article is relevant to the book Hot Zone because they both discuss the origins of viruses.In this article they also discuss how malaria is like the Marburg, Ebola, as well as HIV virus, they all had originated in primates. Then somehow, either from a bug bite or from transmission of bodily fluid, etc, it has entered the human body and mutated. And malaria like the other viruses discussed how this virus or parasite is able to survive for years and reenter the human race at any given time. This is how this article relates to the book Hot Zone.
The article is relevant to The Hot Zone because it talks about how the virus was originated and how it was spread rapidly. The Ebola virus was spread and originated from chimpanzees. Both the article and the book also say how the virus can be spread from millions of years ago and how it can transmitted into a human being so quickly. They also deal with the origin of the virus along with studying the prevention of it.
The Hot Zone can relate to this article becasue both were written about similar topics. A disease starts in one mammal and has the possibility to spread to others, so precautions must be taken to prevent this from happening. In both the novel and article, the mammals that the diseases spreads from are primates. Another similarity between both pieces of literature is that they are looking for the origin of the diseases and no exact answer it turning up.
Similiar to Ebola, Malaria can be traised back to monkeys. Anouther similarity is that Malaria, Ebola, and Marburg can all jump from one species to anouther which is an increasing problem
The article is relevant in that it speaks about trying to find where malaria originated from,like the book tries to find where marburg and ebola originated from. Scientists want to trace the viruses back to where they started from so that they can first know its symptoms and then learn how to cure it. There main purpose is to save humanity.
3. The article on malaria relates to The Hot Zone because the two diseases were given to humans from monkeys. In the book the first cases of ebola were found in monkeys back in the late 1960's. The first man to come down with the marburg agent worked with monkeys as living. In the article, it talks about how malaria is caused from a parasite which is common on chimpanzee's.
This article shows that malaria originated from chimpanzees. However, just as in the story the Hot Zone, malaria has the ability to jump through species just as Marburg and Ebola did, the filoviruses. Another similarity between the story in the Hot Zone and the article on malaria is that we contract these diseases from monkeys. Malaria was contracted from chimps and Marburg and Ebola was contracted from crab monkeys and green monkeys.
The article and the book relate because both discuss the origins of dangerous viruses that have come to be feared by humans and how they have originated in monkeys before crossing over.
The article and the book are relevent to each other because of the common factor that the viruses they speak of show, the common factor between the viruses is how it can be spread between dofferent species. and to make it even more similar the origin of them all, marburg ebola and malaria, are monkeys.
This article is relevant to The Hot Zone because malaria is now being traced back to chimpanzees as the original hosts for this disease. Monkeys were spreading the Ebola and Marburg strains to humans as the scientists believed in The Hot Zone. They believed getting rid of all the monkeys would lead to the containment of the viruses but it was not true because they monkeys simply caught the host from someplace else, probably during shipment. With malaria, the scientists are saying that it can be spread within different species and that was the same as the Marburg and Ebola Reston viruses.
