have cell walls that contain a high content of mycolic acids

are acquired by inhalation

ADP ribosylation of guanylate cyclase that stimulates production of cGMP

ADP ribosylation of adenylate cyclase that stops production of cAMP

ADP ribosylation of a G protein that locks it into an active form that stimulates adenylate cyclase to make cAMP

Interferon gamma

None of these

Interleukin 2

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)

Dehydration and loss of nutrients

the toxin produced by the bacterium

Faulty carrier proteins

Too little water in the food stream

The ability of the Rotavirus to be transmitted faster

The ability of monkey Rotavirus strains to cause serious illness (diarrhea) in human beings

The possession of a segmented RNA genome

A limited number of capsule types

mutations in the viral hemagglutinin may allow the virus to evade the immune response elicited by previous vaccines

it is a polysaccharide vaccine that does not confer long-term protection

None of these

the vaccine is sufficiently toxic to make it necessary to administer only a small amount at any one time
