Overview:Smallpoxis a highly contagious infection caused by the enveloped, doubled-stranded DNA virus smallpox, also known as variola virus (Figure 1). The virus ranges in size from 200 nm (nanometres) to 400 nm and possesses a genome that is 200 kilobase pairs long, making it one of ...
As a result of concerns that smallpox virus might be used in a bioterrorist attack, 1 year before the attacks of 11 September 2001 the CDC had entered into an agreement with a company in Cambridge, MA (then known as Oravax, but now part of Acambis Ltd., a UK company) to produce ...
Example 1:The bacterium that causes tuberculosis can lie dormant in the body for years before becoming active and causing symptoms. Figure 10: TB bacteria can be inactive (Latent TB) in one’s lifetime and can activate and cause disease. Image Credit:UNISON. ...

reduce stress and likelihood of viral shedding, prevent distributional shifts, and protect vulnerable human communities. By addressing these factors, ecological countermeasures target the root causes of spillover. They effectively strengthen barriers to spillover and decrease the likelihood that the condition...
What is the virus transmission of smallpox? What are bacteriophages? What is the term for a disease that is caused by a pathogen and that can be spread from one individual to another? What is a communicable disease chain? Which of these pathogens are the most difficult to control, bacteria...
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for detecting the class A agent anthrax using a single-copy number detection method without the need for any amplification steps that can also be applied to the detection of plague, smallpox, tularemia, botulism (botulinum toxin) or ...
This vaccine candidate is a plaque-purified clone of RVF virus that contains a large deletion in the small (S) genome segment that disrupts the biological functions of the nonstructural proteins NSs. Clone 13 has proven highly immunogenic in mice, sheep, and goats, although it has demonstrated ...
What is the scientific name of the bacteria that causes typhoid? Describe the process of the development of the smallpox vaccine. Describe the detailed steps about how a virus enters a host cell. Include the viral attachment and internalization. When performing phage typing, how would one know ...
Administration of vaccinia via skin scarification was the main method employed for global smallpox eradication [109]. Today, vaccinia is often used as a viral vector in vaccine development and a body of research now demonstrates that scarification, with or without the virus, leads to nonspecific ...
