EVALUATING COMPETENCE
SECTION C: READING COMPREHENSION (10marks) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Many people do not know that they often help the transmission of insect-borne diseases. The temperature and humidity of our environment are such that they favour the abundance of insects. There is not much that we can do about that.
But mosquitoes which transmit malaria and filariasis require water in order to reproduce. We encouraged the spread of malaria by providing the breeding grounds for these insects.
There is a popular saying that if there were no mosquitoes, there would be no malaria. This is true. Mosquitoes are blood feeders. If they happen to bite an individual having malaria parasites, they sucked up this micro –organisms together with their blood meal. Inside the stomach of the mosquitoes, the parasite develops to the infective stage. When the same mosquito in search of blood, bites a healthy person, it transfers these parasites into the person. This individual then develops malaria. If we can control mosquitoes, then we can control malaria.
But can we control or get rid of mosquitoes? Of course, we can, if only we can approach with a sense of responsibility. Every citizen should see that there is no stagnant water around his home. He should use modern toilet facilities and stop the pollution of our environment. We can control mosquitoes if everyone obeys the rules of simple hygiene: washing our hands after going to toilet, keeping the home and it environment clean and getting rid of house flies by burning or burying organic waste matter. We should report cases of infection immediately to the nearest hospital for proper diagnosis and effective treatment.
The public health authorities are waging a war against parasitic diseases.
But to succeed they need the cooperation of every responsible citizen. Diseases have become epidemic due to our careless attitude towards basic hygiene. We must now create the means of controlling them through health education and the use of all resources available to us.
