respiratory syndrome aims at preventing a reoccurrence of SARS in 2002-2003. The complete genomic sequence of SARS has allowed for the development of some diagnostic tests. However, there is still a problem present in early diagnosis of SARS in non-research laboratories with minimum experience in molecular testing. During the 2003 SARS epidemic a study was conducted and the results show that there is a 99.9% N protein that can be efficient as an early diagnostic marker for SARS. In order to…

vaccine for SARS; however, most people can recover from SARS or even maintain the disease with the help of therapy and advanced machines. We may never know for certain where the SARS virus came from, but it likely moved from animals to humans. Lab research shows that SARS can infect a lot of animals, including palm civets that live in China where the 2003 outbreak originated. A civet is a meat eating mammal that has a cat-like looks, but the animal is not a cat. SARS-CoV was also found in the…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the therapeutic effects, indications, contraindications, side effects, cost, and…

I will use a case study of the preparation of the UK government for the influenza virus. The first step was to start the development and testing of medical counter measures for example vaccines and antibiotics but this is inhibited by the private sectors ownership of medical facilities which have little or no incentive to create…

Every year, the common influenza immunization negatively affects millions of people. Whether they are affected by only the minor or sometimes major symptoms, people battle the always-evolving illness. Luckily, researchers have created life-saving immunization that has the potential to protect many people from the negative side effects of the influenza. The influenza, also known as the flu, “is a transmittable respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses” (CDC 2016). Symptoms can range from…

scarce supply of the influenza vaccines. The flu epidemic encouraged many individuals to vaccinate their families to prevent from catching the flu. The increase in desire for the influenza vaccination has diminished the stock, resulting in this vaccination becoming scarce. When it comes to a scarce resource, such as the influenza vaccine, there should be genuine consideration that determines who receives it. In order to maximize happiness, the scarce resource of the influenza vaccine should be…

Influenza Introduction Influenza commonly known as the flu is a respiratory contagious disease that affects mostly the nose, throat, bronchi and sporadically the lungs.

There are 3 classifications of Influenza: Influenza A – Found in aquatic birds which are a natural host and often transmitted to poultry and humans. It is often the virus that is responsible for human pandemics.…
