How would increased travel lead to increased spread of multicellular eukaryotic parasites?
A) Many eukaryotic parasites are transmitted directly from person to person via airborne transmission-so getting an infected individual onto a plane of susceptible individuals would increase spread.
B) Many eukaryotic parasites depend on vectors (often small blood-sucking insects) for transmission-so moving an infected individual into an area with new vectors and new susceptible humans would increase the spread of the illness.
C) It really would NOT-most individuals are screened for parasitic infections prior to traveling out of highly-infected areas. We also have quarantine abilities at customs stations for individuals entering the United States.
D) Eukaryotic parasites are too small to travel great distances effectively-by hitching a ride on luggage, clothing, fruit/vegetables, and other food products, they can enter new geographic areas.
