Mr I is most likely suffering from influenza and this can occur even after being vaccinated against the flu because of several reasons. One possible reason is that Mr I may have got exposed to the influenza viruses either shortly before getting vaccinated or during the two-week period after vaccination (2) which is when the body is still developing immune protection. This means that there is a chance that people such as Mr I may become ill even before they have the beneficial effects of the…

This report investigates the disease Swine flu, also known as human swine influenza or H1N1 Influenza. An outbreak of this disease has already occurred in the recent past as it made headlines back in 2009 when it was declared a pandemic because of the factors that is was a contagious disease quickly affecting many people throughout the world or on multiple continents at once. The virus had not previously been identified meaning the flu had extreme research put into so that information on it…

THE DISEASE: The influenza virus is often referred to as the flu. It is an acute respiratory disease, which if left untreated, can worsen and lead into influenza pneumonia, a much more serious disease that often leads to hospitalization or death. Other complications from the flu are bronchitis, sinus and ear infections ("Flu Symptoms & Severity", 2015). There are types of the influenza virus: influenza A and influenza B, and there are many strains within each type. While the respiratory system…

The Influenza virus The Influenza virus has a unique background and history as it was discovered in the early 1900’s. Humans and animals are affected by influenza. Therefore, Influenza is characterized by how it is transmitted, its symptoms and treatments, and the impact it has on the populations in which it has spread to. The transmission of the Influenza virus is unique in that it is not just a virus that humans get and it is hard to contain because both animals and humans spread the virus…

These issues are clean water access and global hygiene measures, obesity, malaria, avian influenza, and the pollution of air. My target populations are all over the place, considering the vast differences between each issue. I hope to target each place around the world that does not have clean water access and build wells until everyone…

The influenza virus has become so deadly, due to its ability to mutate seasonally, through a process called reassortment. This involves the recombination of large genetic segments from several viral strains, which causes small genetic changes to be passed on to create a new type of daughter virus (4). Influenza viruses can do this by antigenic drift, which is when” dominant strains from the previous year have changed its surface structure enough to make the effectiveness of the flu vaccine…
