Read the scenario and answer the accompanying questions.
As has been well-documented in recent years, certain populations and geographic regions can be much more vulnerable to environmental health issues like malaria and the use of DDT. Growing populations, with over 20-30% infected with HIV/AIDS, global climate change, and an environment that has experienced DDT applications for over 50 years, have led to increased outbreaks of malaria in the tropical regions of Africa.
-Which of the following nonhuman- related causes has most likely contributed the most to the increase in malaria in Africa?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased insecticide resistance is a nonhuman-related cause that has likely contributed significantly to the increase in malaria, as mosquitoes have developed resistance to chemicals like DDT, making it harder to control their populations.
