    The Plague and The Plague: Are There Similarities In Between? Is the historical Black Death similar, in any way, to Albert Camus’s The Plague? Like the hurricane that brings fear and panic along with its powerful winds that sweep out everything with it, the same happened both in the real life and the fictional life. And despite obvious differences between history and Camus’ fictional representation, the novel The Plague manages to accurately depict society’s reaction to the devastation of The Plague, similar to the effects of The Black Death. Both Albert Camus’s The Plague and the Black Death, from the 14th century, were similar by the approach, by the genesis, and by the way, how the churches have manipulated this opportunity of the epidemic…

    The definition of a virus from the Oxford Dictionary is, an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host: To me that means that they are these tiny molecules that are not cells, but able to multiply, but only inside of the cells of the person the virus has gone into. Viruses are not living things. They do have many things inside them that a living thing may have like proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and Lipids. the problem is that they can't function…

    Based on the results, when both species were grown alone, they decreased in population after they reached carrying capacity, P. caudatum starting earlier than P. aurelia. This shows that they both thrive when there is no competition, but soon start dying off. When they were put in mixed cultures, the P. aurelia took advantage of the rice and quickly grew in population, but P. caudatum couldn’t compete with the other species and soon died off. This shows that P. aurelia is strong in competition but P. caudatum is weak. The hypothesis was that when both species are alone, that their population will be about the same, but when mixed, one species will dominate the other.…

    Some pathogens have evolved the ability to manipulate host behaviour, by interfering with the host’s decision making and control mechanisms. One reason for pathogens manipulating host behaviour is to complete their lifecycle because some require a number of hosts to complete each life stage. The intermediate host carries the pathogen and is responsible for infecting the definitive host, in which the pathogen is able to complete its life cycle. Furthermore, pathogens manipulate host behaviour so they can successfully increase their transmission rate. This can be achieved through increasing host predation risks, altering the host’s preference for habitat selection and increasing parasite survival.…

    The study of influenza virus evolution is not new. In fact, humans have been studying influenza viruses since the beginning of the 18th century. Three types of influenza viruses exist: A, B and C. Influenza B is a strain of influenza virus with the ability to cause severe epidemics. Although influenza A and B have similar structure, genome organization, and epidemiology, they have several important differences which imply that their evolutionary dynamics differ. Unlike influenza A viruses, influenza B viruses almost exclusively affect humans.…

    The role of vaccinations is to bring in a pathogen example virus, bacteria to the immune system so that it can build up immunity to the pathogen without having to have the disease. This chemical is injected into the body to get the immune system to recognize a portion of pathogen virus. In normal circumstance, most pathogens enter a person through the nose or mouth. In most vaccinations, the pathogen enters through an injection, completely bypassing the normal occupations of the immune system's defence. This would not be a major problem if the injection contained simply a killed or inactivated pathogen, as this would not pose a threat.…
