COVID-19 is a reminder of their destructive power, but they’re crucial to humans’ development and survival.
A Novel Highly Reproducible and Lethal Nonhuman Primate Model for Orthopox Virus Infection The intentional re-introduction of Variola virus (VARV), the agent of smallpox, into the human population is of great concern due its bio-terroristic poten... M Kramski,K Mätz-Rensing,C Stahl-Hennig...
Explain how pandemic flu strains arise. Why are these strains usually more infectious and lethal than common flu strains? What are some human diseases caused by viruses and what are their respective modes of transmission? How is HIV transmitted? What disease is caused by the virus?
Explain how pandemic flu strains arise. Why are these strains usually more infectious and lethal than common flu strains? How is the pathogen responsible for Hepatitis A transmitted? List 5 microbial killing methods, how they work, and what they are used for. ...
Describe how the smallpox virus spread, what are the symptoms, and what is unique about the disease. Describe how Lassa fever is transmitted. Hemorrhagic viruses are not new but as the world is seeing with the 2014 Ebola outbreak they are extremely deadly. Some strains of Ebola ha...
Another example of entrainment of the immune system was when the smallpox vaccination was introduced about 200 years ago, and up to its discontinuation in 1980, physicians noticed that it afforded protection against the measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough. This is now known as trained immu...

Don’t ask me why he decided to use dogs in his experiments. Maybe there were a lot of stray dogs around back then, or perhaps he just didn’t like working with mice. Anyway, the experiment was a success and he was able to determine the amount of toxin that was lethal... (查看...
What is the best way to deal with communicable dieases in health? Describe two ways in which technology has contributed to the emergence of pathogens and the spread of infectious diseases. Explain how pandemic flu strains arise. Why are these strains usu...
lifeform, and the genetic material from the virus enters the host cell. What happens next depends on both the virus and the host; but at some point, the infected cell may begin to use the genetic material from the virus to make new virus particles, a process that is often lethal to ...
