Solution

The best description that explains the reproductive cycle of this virus is Lytic, because of the quick incubation time. The lytic cycle is a process in which a virus enters a cell, makes a copy of itself, and causes the cell to burst, or lyse. In this case, the quick onset of symptoms (three to twelve days) suggests that the virus is likely using a lytic cycle, which is typically faster than the lysogenic cycle. The method of transmission (by mosquitoes) or the lack of a vaccine do not directly relate to the type of reproductive cycle a virus uses. Similarly, the symptoms caused by the virus, such as fever, are not indicative of a specific viral reproductive cycle.

brief description of transmission, infectious and incubation period

Red blood cells in which the malarial-fever parasite resides are eliminated from a person's body after 120 days. Because the parasite cannot travel to a new generation of red blood cells, any fever that develops in a person more than 120 days after that person has moved to a malaria-free region is not due to the malarial parasite. Which is the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?Choices:- The fever caused by the malarial parasite may resemble the fever caused by flu viruses. The anopheles mosquito, which is the principal insect carrier of the malarial parasite, has been eradicated in many parts of the world. Many malarial symptoms other than the fever, which can be suppressed with anti-malarial medication, can reappear within 120 days after the medication is discontinued. In some cases, the parasite that causes malarial fever travels to cells of the spleen, which are less frequently eliminated from a person's body than are red blood cells.
