Which of the following statements is false?

(a) malaria was a major problem in the early history of hominins but is no longer a major pathogen of humans.
(b) scientists are engaged in an evolutionary arms race with disease-causing organisms.
(c) use of antibiotics in farm animals contributes to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
(d) global travel spreads pathogens more quickly than ever before.
(e) most strains of plasmodium falciparum are resistant to chloroquine.

Global travel spreading pathogens more quickly than ever before is False.

Global travel involves the movement of people from one place to another.

This has occurred from time immemorial and vaccination has helped reduce

its spread.

Vaccination and several tests results for contagious diseases are usually

done so as to prevent this occurrence which is why the spread of pathogens

being on the increase is false.

In this scenario also, malaria  isn't spread through physical contact as it's not

contagious or communicable but through the vectors i.e mosquito.

Option A is false.

Malaria is a disease of human being.

Explanation:

Scientist suggested human beings might have caught malaria from chimpanzees and African gorilla.

Malaria is a life threatening disease caused by plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax and other plaamodium species transmitted through the bites of female anopheles mosquito's that has lead to deaths of many people in past years. It is still a major pathogen of humans. According to world health organisation (WHO) in 2017, nearly half of the world was at risk of malaria. There was an estimated 219 cases in 87 countries of the world and an estimated deaths of 435000 of people in 2017.

Malaria can be cure and prevented

It can be cure by the administration of antimalarial drug which is arthemisin Based. It is important you consult your doctor for proper treatment.

Malarial can be prevented by using mosquito nets, using mosquito sprays in rooms to kill mosquito's, using mosquito repellants and keeping our environment tidy from the growth of mosquitoes.
