Herpes simplex virus

called urticaria are red welts or bumps that appear on the body of the patient. The condition is called acute urticaria if it lasts not more than six weeks, and chronic urticaria if it continues beyond six weeks. Acute urticaria is most commonly caused by exposure to an allergen or by an infection. The cause of chronic urticaria is largely unknown yet until nowadays. Contact dermatitis is a kind of reaction that appears when the skin comes in contact with an allergen or an irritant. Symptoms can…

Rabies is a serious disease caused by a virus and mainly affects animals. This virus belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family -- it's a “bullet shaped virus”. The virus is transmitted through a bite for humans which affects the central nervous system. It travels within the nerves and brain and may multiply rapidly. In the beginning symptoms may not show until maybe weeks and months go by. Rabies may cause pain, fatigue, headaches, fever and irritability often followed by hallucinations,seizures and…

DESCRIPTION The olecranon is the pointy bone at the tip of the elbow. The Bursae are thin, slippery sacs located throughout the body that act as cushions between bones and soft tissues. They contain a small amount of lubricating fluid that allows the skin to move freely over the underlying bone. However, the bursa can become irritated or inflamed and fill with extra fluid. When this happens, a painful swelling develops at the back of the elbow. This swelling is olecranon bursitis. CAUSE •…

are over the age of 60. It’s a viral infection that lays dormant and resurfaces during different times of a person’s life, especially when the immune system has been weakened. The official name of the virus is varicella-zoster, it affects the nerves of the skin, and this is also the same virus responsible for causing chickenpox. Although there is no cure for shingles, there are treatments to manage the pain. In most cases the person recovers with treatment, but the reinfection of shingles…

birds can be asymptomatic carriers spreading the virus, while domestic birds usually sicken and die in just a few days after contracting the virus. AI has been identified in over 100 different species of wild birds worldwide, with the majority of these being waterfowl (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). OVERVIEW I was unable to find a clear date for the imminence of AI in birds; however, the first human infection of highly pathogenic AI virus was detected in 1997 during a poultry…

Transformation of pGlO plasmid to an E.coli bacteria cell We pipetted 250 ul of CaCl2 transformation solution to into two separate tubes. Next, we used a sterile loop to transfer two to four larger bacteria colonies from an E.coli plate into each of the two tubes. The bacteria was observed under UV light to make initial observations. We pipetted 10 ul of pGLO plasmid (0.08 ug/ul) into one of the tubes. Both tubes were incubated on ice for ten minutes. After ten minutes of incubation, the tubes…

Biology is the science of life or living matter in all forms and phenomena, especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure and behavior. Living beings have the desire to discover who they truly are and how they came to be the person that they are today. Many people have specific beliefs in an ultimate being that rules over all else, but most of these beliefs cannot be proven. The study of biology is based upon facts and hypotheses that can be tested and supported. Without…

Specific Aim 2: Characterize mucosal MmuPV1 infection and persistence in nude mice by RNA sequencing analysis. Rationale: Both outbred and inbred nude mice are susceptible to MmuPV1 infection at mucosal sites including tongue, vagina and anus (16-18). Although all three sites are susceptible to MmuPV1 infection, the disease outcome varies. Vaginal tract are the most susceptible sites among the three and the infection can be detected along the vaginal tract and up to the cervical region (16,…

Parasites is an animal or plant that lives in or on a host which is another animal or plant as it obtains nourishment from the host without benefiting or killing the host. Parasites may be characterized as ectoparasites, including ticks, fleas, leeches, and lice which live on the body surface of the host and do not themselves commonly cause disease in the host or endoparasites, which may be either intercellular (inhabiting spaces in the host’s body) or intracellular (inhabiting cells in the…
