Herpes simplex virus

anyone who traveled. There was no specific age group of people who were more affected by this disease. The SARS outbreak in 2002-2003 showed how quickly infection can spread in a highly mobile and interconnected world. Within a few months, the SARS virus had spread from China, to worldwide, just by travelers. The first recorded occurrence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome was on November 16, 2002, in the Guangdong Province, China. By February 2003 the Chinese health officials had tracked…

HENOCH-SCHONLINE PURPURA Usually called HSP, is a condition that affects the small blood vessels, this inflammation is known as vasculitis, their become swollen and irritated. HSP can affect anyone, it’s most common in children aged 2-11, and boys are affected twice as often as girls. A seasonal variation with a peak incidence in spring has been noted. The disorder was named after two German physicians, Eduard Henoch and Johann Schonlein, who first described the disease in the 1800s. Sometimes…

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease. It remains an important cause of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to humankind and an important cause of death and disability among children worldwide. Those unvaccinated against the disease are at risk of severe health complications such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, and encephalitis (a dangerous infection of the brain causing inflammation)…

A suspected case was defined as a sudden onset of high fever in a patient who had contact with a person with suspected, probable, or confirmed EVD, with a dead or sick animal, or with any person with a sudden onset of high fever and at least three of the following symptoms or clinical signs: headache, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, lethargy, stomach pain, aching muscles or joints, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or hiccup; unexplained bleeding; or any sudden, unexplained death. A probable…

Nanospheres of gold and organic suppress the development of skin cancer - scientists MOSCOW, July 2 - RIA Novosti. US bioengineers were able to successfully suppress the growth of skin cancer cells using microspheres of gold nanoparticles and spherical molecules of RNA, and published their findings in an article in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Now we can start a fight with a host of diseases. Thanks to the project "Human Genome" and all work in this area over…

Equine help in transportation, field work, pulling heavy loads and for pleasures in races and riding. Among the serious problems affecting equine are parasitic infections, of which blood protozoal diseases are considered of great importance in Egypt. The main blood parasites are those belong to family Babesiidae: the cause of equine piroplasmosis (Ahmed, 1981). Equine piroplasmosis remain important diseases for the development of equine industries worldwide, including Egypt, especially…

be averted. After some experiments provided questionable results, I was given the task of confrming that the viruses we were working with had been packaged and identifed correctly. I spent weeks running DNA gels, looking for specifc genes in each virus, but my results were inconsistent. I was frustrated, but instead of giving up on my assignment, I was even more determined to fnd an explanation. I considered every aspect of the experiment, working backwards until I reached the…

An example of this is the 1918 influenza pandemic, strain H1N1 which was identified to have originated in birds and killed between 40-50 million people2. The influenza A virus (IAV) is a member of the orthomyxoviridae family and has a negative sense, single stranded RNA genome split into 8 segments, containing 11 genes. The virus possesses a lipid envelope which is produced from the host cell. Spikes protrude from this membrane which consist of hemagglutinin (HA), which facilitates receptor…

the export of RNPs by producing nuclear export signals and binding with RNP to form a complex that can be exported (Paterson and Fodor, 2012). M proteins also plays crucial role when the new virus buds off. It blocks the nuclear pores to stop re-entry of the newly formed RNAs and allows assembly of the new virus. M proteins can bind the phospholipid tail of the cell membrane with the viral envelope of the glycoproteins around the encapsidated RNA and bud off the host cell (Figure 1)…

Scabies is a parasitic STD, and can be spread by skin to skin contact with a person that has scabies. Scabies is quite common, around 1 million people get infected with scabies each year. Some symptoms of scabies can be intense itching usually at night, small bumps or rashes, on fingers, butt, breasts, wrist, and thighs. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/scabies/basics/definition/con-20023488 Your doctor can test for scabies by using a microscope or sometimes taking a biopsy of the…
