Marburg virus

Evidence-Based Clinical Intervention Fifth disease, also known as erythema infectiosum, is a benign childhood condition that affects many children each year to its easy mode of transmission. As providers, understanding the etiology of the illness, presentation, differential diagnoses, treatment, and management, will be of high importance for all patients. This paper will discuss the medical problem, the pathophysiology of the infection, typical presenting signs and symptoms, three differential…

is usually caused by the virus HSV-1, or herpes simplex type 1, but can also be caused by HSV-2. In a previous study, it was found that 67.6% of Americans possessed antibodies for HSV-1, establishing HSV-1 as an exceptionally prevalent virus even in developed countries 9. The virus is spread through skin to skin contact between an individual exhibiting viral shedding, and an unaffected person, but can also be contracted through exposure to surfaces that contain the virus. Once HSV-1 is…

certain hosts. The impact of viruses on ocean biogeochemistry is often evoked purely through the act of host lysis, but very few studies have considered the chemical contributions of the viral particles themselves. Recent studies show that the marine virus particles contain significant amount of macronutrients (Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorous) and that the…

Parvovirus is a SS DNA virus, as stated in question it’s genome is either + or – strand. Their genome is linear, non segmented, and single- stranded DNA of about 5 KB. Most of the strand packaged into virions are – strand, but some parvoviruses package equal amounts of (+) and (-) strand. Parvovirus can’t become latent, since they are ssDNA and will be destroyed. All parvoviruses require receptor-mediated endocytosis for cell infection. Their host is Mammals including humans, parvovirus has all…

The wheezing and shortness of breath makes you think that. Bit then, your throat becomes sore, your nose is running constantly, and you have a fever. Now, you realize it may be bigger than asthma. You now realize you have RSV. Respiratory Syncytial Virus, also known as RSV is a disease that causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. It is a very common infectious disease. It is so common that most children that have it were infected by the age of two. That does not mean adults can’t…

For this assignment, the virus that I chose to research further was the rabies virus, from the genus Lyssavirus. The rabies virus is a single-stranded RNA virus with a cylindrical structure that is covered by a layer of matrix protein. Its lipoprotein envelope is scattered with rabies glycoprotein-carrying trimeric spikes. This glycoprotein envelope can also influence the rabies virus virulence. The article I read also covered the pathology of the rabies virus, prevention strategies, vaccines,…

Leah Borkan Paper II In this paper, the hypotheses being investigated were whether influenza A virus was capable of inducing apoptosis in mast cells, and if so determine if the virus was using this intentionally to its benefit and which pathways were utilized. The methods used included viral infection of cell cultures, hemagglutination assay, real-time quantitative PCR, plaque assay, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL assay, flow cytometric analysis of apoptosis, western blot,…

only problem with flu vaccines is that a different strain comes every time. Every thing an infected individual touches, it leaves the virus there, then when the next uninfected individual comes, the virus attaches itself. When an infected individual coughs, that cough forms a cone that covers many people, landing on those people, then those people all cough, the virus repeats the process, until an epidemic is started. The pathogen enters in the body as an unrecognizable organism, allowing it to…

According to scientists the conventional wisdom of viruses says that about viruses, scientists say that viruses aren’t bigger than bacteria and that the majority have viruses have 10 or less genes. But organisms such as the meme virus, mega virus and the Pandora virus prove us wrong. In some cases, some of these controversies to the change of biological evolution is in heredity by accident, natural in nature or caused by mutation. Before 2003 there only two kinds of living things on earth which…

Sinus infections caused by infection of pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, or fungi), which grow inside the sinuses and cause intermittent obstruction of slot Pocket. Most people do not convey sinus infections. Most doctors agree that except in rare cases, sinus infections are not contagious but arising mainly viruses and bacteria that, by chance, someone pockets support deployment because Minor, rarely, and distortions in the sinus tissue of a person (for example, swelling,…
