Marburg virus

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…

get genital herpes. You get genital herpes by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the disease. Fluids found in a herpes sore carry the virus and contact with those fluids can cause infection. You can also get herpes from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore or who may not know he or she is infected because the virus can be released through your skin and spread the infection to your partner. The only way to avoid STDs is to not have vaginal, anal, or oral sex.…

Viruses such as herpes simplex virus, HIV, mumps, West Nile virus and others also can cause viral meningitis. Chronic forms of meningitis occur when slow-growing organisms attack the membranes and fluid encompassing the brain. Although acute meningitis strikes abruptly, chronic meningitis develops…

What is Herpes? Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a viral infection that is caused by multiple herpes viruses. They can produce cold sores, genital inflammation or even conjunctivitis. There are two types of herpes simplex viruses, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is also known as oral herpes. It can cause cold sores and fever blisters around your mouth and/or on your face. HSV-1 is less contagious than . While as HSV-2 generally is responsible for genital herpes outbreaks. What is Zosters?…
