Health in the 21st century
What is the relationship between copepods and cholera and why is it important?
![Page 4: Chapter 2: Applications of Biology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681636f550346895dd44c93/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How did Colwell develop a better method for detecting cholera in water that had previously tested negative?
Why were the bacteria not detected before?
How does the cholera example show that science is an integrated field of study?
