14. You are studying two strains of C. diptheriae and find that one strain is fully capable of causing diptheria while the other can colonize the host but cannot cause disease: A. Explain the most likely difference of the two strains. B. Describe the mechanism of action in the disease-causing strain.

You are working in a pathology lab studying the virus Examinaria in mice. You collect the following information about two competing Examinaria strains, Aggressive and Mild: 1. Aggressive always out-competes Mild within a mouse for a payoff of 1. 2. Mild co-exists with Mild in a host for a payoff of 12. 3. Mild always loses to Aggressive for a payoff of 0. 4. Aggressive competing with Aggressive in a host leads to early death of the mouse and a payoff of only 14. Make a payoff matrix to solve this game. Based on the payoff matrix, is there one best Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS) in this game? Yes, Aggressive is the ESS Yes, Mild is the ESS No, Mixed ESS

2. According to the recent malaria report of the Department of Health, Disease and Prevention Bureau (2022), there are 4, 251 confirmed cases of malaria in the Philippines and majority of the cases are due to Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum life cycle includes gametocytes that will aid the parasite to reproduce sexually in its anopheline vectors. Examine Figure 2 below. Provide three (3) qualitative descriptions of the P. falciparum gametocyte. Write your answers in a complete sentence. Fig. 2. Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte in thin blood smear (CDC, 2022)
