Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Bioterrorism is a term used to describe the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or other germs (agents) used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants. Bombing historical buildings, explosion of land mines, and threats of war may be part of terrorist attacks, but do not include the component of bioterrorism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An effective antimalarial intervention is the use of insecticide-treated bed nets. Malaria is con-tracted by being bit by an infected mosquito; it cannot be passed by direct person-to-person con-tact. IV quinine is the drug of choice for treating malaria, not preventing it. Some mosquitoes are resistant to DDT, so this may not be effective.
