Question

read the text. malaria and zika are both diseases spread by mosquitoes. malaria is deadly, and people have been fighting it for centuries. zika, though, emerged more recently. although symptoms of a zika infection are usually milder than those of a malaria infection, zika is associated with birth defects in the babies of infected mothers. malaria and zika are spread by two distinct types of mosquitoes: malaria by the anopheles mosquito, and zika by the aedes mosquito. this means that different prevention techniques are recommended. because anopheles bite at night, using mosquito netting over beds can help people avoid malaria. aedes, however, bite during the day. in areas where zika is a concern, experts recommend using insect repellents and covering the skin with clothing. which organizational structure does this text primarily use? sequential compare - contrast
