1.Absorption


2.entry


3.replication


4.assembly


5.release

Absorption

The virus attaches itself to specific receptor sites on a host cell

Entry

The virus releases an enzyme that weakens a spot in the cell membrane of the host and then injects its DNA into the cell through the weak spot in the wall

Replication

The viral DNA takes complete control of the cell activity. It directs the cell to make viral DNA and viral proteins that make up the structure of he virus

Assembly

Proteins coded for by viral DNA act as enzymes that put new virus particles together

Release

the viruses release and enzyme that digests the cell from within. The disintegration of the infected host cell allows new viruses to leave the cell. The new viruses can now infect other cells and start the process over again

Prophage stage

the proteins of the temperate virus attaches to the host cells DNA. When the host cell replicates itself, the coral DNA acts like part of the hosts it causes no harm to the cell. This stage may last a long time

The ability of the disease to interfere

Immunity

The ability of the host to cope with or overcome the virus. It may be natural (present at birth) or you may acquired immunity during the course of your life. The body produces antibodies that are able to destroy he foreign virus

Vaccination

Placing a dead or weakened virus inside the host to stimulate the immune system to produce antiviral substance. It prepares the body's defense against a particular pathogen before it strikes. The body is able to remember the specific virus and when it is encountered again the body produces the correct antiviral substance to destroy it

Some bacteria are parasites that

Absurd nutrients directly from their hosts and cause disease, they produce toxins that harm the host

Toxin

A poisonous substance that disrupts the metabolism of the infected organism

Endotoxins

Found on the walls of certain bacteria these toxins all cause the same symptoms, fever, weakness and damage to the circulatory system

Exotoxins

Products of the metabolism of some bacteria. There toxins are secreted into the area surrounding the bacteria and are the most potent poisons known

Narrow spectrum antibiotics

Target particular types of bacteria

Broad spectrum antibiotics

Affect a wide range of bacteria

Bactericidal

Destroy bacteria

Bacteriostatic

Prevents the bacteria from multiplying

Antibiotic resistance

Normal all the bacteria die sure treatment however sometimes the bacteria mutates and becomes resistant to the antibiotic. They then reproved and spread their immunity

Causes of antibiotics resistant

Failure to take the entire prescribed course



Failure to rest for sufficient recovery



Inappropriate antibiotic treatment (using the wrong tunes of antibiotics or using them on viruses)

Phage therapy

Using bacteriophage (viruses that attack bacteria) to treat bacteria infections

Pharmaceutical compounds

Scientists are trying to engineer compounds to counteract the antibiotic resistant properties

General goal of vaccines

Weaken the virus or bacteria in a way that allows the recipient to to develop an immune response without developing any symptoms of infection

Strategies to making vaccines: weakening the virus





Most effective, allows the bodies memory B-cells to provided protectionLifelong immunityCannot be given people with weak immune systems

Strategies to making vaccines: Inactivate the virus

Viruses are dead


Can be given to everyone


Several doses need for immunity


May not be life long immunity

Strategies to making vaccines: using part of the virus

Using the surface proteins which causes the body to kill the entire virus



**bacterial vaccine can also be made this way hang the cell wall)

Why don't vaccines always work

The virus can mutate


There is many different strands of the virus (influenza)


May still get sick from the virus bit less severe

Vaccines for bacterial diseases

Some bacteria cause disease by producing toxins



Vaccines can be made to inactivate the toxin so that it no longer causes harm (diphtheria and tetanus)
