Question

Statement: Some strains of mosquito have become resistant to chloroquine - the widely used medicine for malaria patients.
Courses of Action:
I. Selling of chloroquine should be stopped.
II. Researchers should develop a new medicine for patients affected by such mosquitoes.
III. All the patients suffering from malaria should be checked for identification of causal mosquito.

• A. None follows
• B. Only I and III follow
• C. All follow
• D. Only II and III follow
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Only II and III follow

Clearly, chloroquine can still be used to get rid of the non-resistant varieties, and new medicines developed for the resistant varieties. The patients can then be treated accordingly by performing tests for the causal mosquito. So, only II and III follow.
