Introduction: Viral infections can affect many things, including bacteria. When bacteria undergo infections from a virus that virus is called a bacteriophage. After a bacteriophage infects a bacteria it can create two different phases, the lytic or lysogenic cycles. During a lytic stage the bacteriophage causes death to the bacteria. When this happens on an agar plate covered in bacteria it creates a clear spot known as a plaque. Each plaque is created by one virus so from the number of plaques…

methods of transmission they are 1. Respiratory tract transmission 2. Fecal-Oral transmission 3. Direct contact transmission 4. Blood contact transmission Respiratory tract Infectious diseases are transmitted via the respiratory tract and they can range from a mild cold to many life threatening diseases. This is the most common method of transmission of infectious diseases in an early childhood environment. Germs pass through the air from the respiratory tract of the infected person to another…

industry and major philanthropists (Moran 2014: 229). Government were usually entrusted R&D only for medicines of high value (Moran 2014: 229). Thus, even though de-securitizing HIV/AIDS opened a medium for the development of other infection diseases, the world still see infection diseases as threatening more than other diseases. And as to what threatens, there is always a prioritization over diseases that affect the people of higher income. HIV-positive people worldwide fell by 20% over a…

This mosquito carries the virus without being affected and transmits it while feeding. About 80% of people infected with Zika virus have no symptoms.

Other symptoms include joint or muscle pain and hyperemia conjunctival in which the sclera of…
