COVID-19 has been disturbing human society with an intensity never seen since the Influenza epidemic (Spanish flu). COVID-19 and Influenza are both respiratory viruses and, in this study, we explore the relation
It is ideal to have an infectious disease (ID) consultant in the management team, as most of these infections are multisystem involving diseases. Most infectious agents can be effectively treated with specific antibiotics, with or without corticosteroid therapy, but visual recovery is highly variable...

What are some different types of marine viruses? How do viroids infect plants? How are infectious and non-infectious diseases similar? What is the difference between viral and bacterial chest infections? How does the immune system respond to influenza?
, 2006). Birds generally have higher body temperatures than mammals (Brault 2009) and the avian influenza virus (AIV) when jumping from birds to humans has to adapt to a temperature drop of 8 °C since the temperature in the human upper respiratory tract is ~33 °C compared to ~41 °C...

They cause things like colds, influenza, measles, mumps, malaria, AIDS and so on. The job of your immune system is to protect your body from these infections. The immune system protects you in three different ways: It creates a barrier that prevents bacteria and viruses from entering your ...
Influenza is a difficult disease to battle due to its high rate of mutation combined with its ability to bounce around different species. There are three type of influenza that are of most concerned when it comes to human’s pathology: Type A, Type B, and Type C. Each of these type ...
