The Canine parvovirus starts infecting a canine after entering cells through endocytosis, goes through the normal viral life cycle, and then it leaves its host cell by budding. The virus’s host cell can be in the small intestines, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. During its incubation period of three to seven days, it attacks the canine’s tonsils or lymph nodes first so it can attract lymphocytes which are a type of white blood cells.

This will all take place in a water bath which represents the small intestine and will be maintained at 37°C and will be provided with compressed air to recreate the environment. The agonist ACH is added to the water bath. The ileum will be then be stimulated by an electrical current which will make the ACH contract. Thus, recreating contractions of small intestines. Recordings will be taken over a 3 minute period, the solutions will also be washed out every 30 seconds…

I was born in Vietnam with love and care. I did not grow up in a big city where time flies fast. Instead, I was raised in a small and peaceful town where I could hear the sound of cicadas when spring comes and feel the heat of The South wind in summer.

My feeling at that time was excited and sad because I would live in the…
