Fifth disease, or erythema infectiosum, is caused by parvovirus B19, one of the viruses in the parvoviridae virus family that is most common in children. Explore other viruses of this family, parvoviridae virus structure and transmission, and discover how parvovirus B19 is potentially deadly in...
The hydraulic conductivity K is regarded as a stationary isotropic random space function, and we model macrodispersion in the resulting migrating plume by means of the second-order radial spatial moment X rr . Unlike previous results, here X rr is analytically computed in a fairly general manner...
It multiplies, and the new viruses infect nearby cells. Think of your respiratory tract as an upside-down tree. The trunk is your trachea, or windpipe. It splits into smaller and smaller branches in your lungs. At the end of each branch are tiny air sacs called alveoli. This is where ...
For viruses that do not cause a typical CPE, detection can be based on the adsorption of red blood cells to the surface of virus-infected cells in culture (e.g., influenza and parainfluenza viruses) or by the use of interference assays (e.g., rubella virus). Presumptive identification of...
IgG(immunoglobulin G): found in all body fluids; critical to fighting infections from viruses and bacteria; only antibodies that can pass over the placenta from mother to fetus; most common but smallest antibody IgM(immunoglobulin M): found in blood and lymph fluid; first antibody to respond to...
But if you kiss someone who's infected and has bleeding gums or sores, you could get the virus if you also have cuts or sores around or in your mouth— because of the blood-to-blood contact. Is HIV spread by Coughing or Sneezing? No. Some viruses, such as the common cold and COVI...
PCR tests work by detecting specific genetic material within the virus. (Image credit: Shutterstock) If you wake up one morning with a fever, shortness of breath and a cough — in other words, symptoms of the new coronavirus— you'll likely wonder how you can get tested for it and ...

Viruses may stay infectious on surfaces like door handles, etc., up to 9 days at room temperature. Researchers think people are most contagiouswhen they have the most severe symptoms. People can be infectious before they start to show symptoms. ...
Nowhere in nature is one likely to meet up with several viruses in one go and I think this may explain some of the problems which follow vaccination. As a general principle try to be as healthy as possible on vaccination day! Vaccination and CFS. Vaccinations are a two edged sword because...
