The most important effect of viruses on the human body is to cause infectious diseases. A number of serious diseases in humans are the result of viral infection, including influenza, haemorrhagic fever, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Deaths ...
Virtually every type of organism may serve as a host for viruses. In some hosts, virus presence may be considered beneficial to humans; in other hosts, viruses are considered detrimental. Examples of viruses that are considered beneficial to humans include those that are used for biological contro...
The researchers then sought to verify their findings in vivo. However, "one limitation is that there are actually no real good animal models or mechanistic models to study the interaction of nose bacteria and human host," says Lebeer. "The microbiome of the nose of mice compared with humans,...
and between different species of bees. Research in these areas would help beekeeping to be more recalcitrant against the accidental introduction of new pathogens and parasites. The development of completely new approaches for treating viruses in beneficial insects, such as gene silencing by RNAi, would...
Pathogens can spread epidemically through populations. Beneficial contagions, such as viruses that enhance host survival or technological innovations that improve quality of life, also have the potential to spread epidemically. How do the dynamics of ben
The principle is the same for viruses of humans and viruses of bacteria. Scientists have studied bacteriophages for decades, observing howphages can spreadthrough a population of bacteria, first infecting and then bursting open cells as they rapidly multiply. ...
HIV and GB Virus C — Can Two Viruses Be Better Than One? This article discusses the interactions between the GB virus (GBV-C) and HIV in vivo. Some studies have shown a survival benefit in several patients that a... RJ Pomerantz,G Nunnari - 《New England Journal of Medicine》 被引...
It consists of coexisting bacteria, viruses, and fungi [41]. A recent systematic study discovered a relationship between GM, associated metabolites, and inflammatory variables and NAFLD. Patients with NAFLD had an increased number of Proteobacteria (particularly Escherichia coli and other ...
In general, viruses result in an imbalance in the cellular redox environment, which depending on the virus and the cell could result in multiple responses (e.g. antioxidant defenses) that can be the common final pathway behind the hormesis mechanism (Camini et al., 2017). Hormesis is a ...
AMDs demonstrate broad-spectrum antiviral effects (Table2). For example, more than 20 years ago, CQ was shown to inhibit HIV-dependent replication [83]. Other examples include inhibition of RNA viruses such as hepatitis A or C; influenza A, B, and H5N1 viruses A; poliovirus; rabies; dengue...
